Topology-guided vortices in a polariton condensate
Andrea Zacheo, Marco Marangi, Nilo Mata-Cervera +3
A major challenge in polariton fluids is achieving deterministic control over the spin texture of the macroscopic condensate wavefunction, which dictates the nucleation and dynamic…
Topological robustness of classical and quantum optical skyrmions in atmospheric turbulence
Zhenyu Guo, Cade Peters, Nilo Mata-Cervera +5
The degradation of classical and quantum structured light induced by complex media constitutes a critical barrier to its practical implementation in a range of applications, from c…
Free-form conformal metasurfaces robustly generating topological skyrmions
Yang Fu, Rensheng Xie, Nilo Mata-Cervera +5
Skyrmions are topologically stable vector textures as potential information carriers for high-density data storage and communications, especially boosted by the recently emerging m…
Diffraction-free natural optical skyrmions and their subwavelength confinement around vortices
Nilo Mata-Cervera, Deepak K. Sharma, Ramon Paniagua-Dominguez +2
Diffraction causes waves to spread out as they propagate freely. The tighter the lateral confinement, the faster the spreading. Past research on how to suppress diffraction has bee…
Optical Skyrmions of Vortex Darkness
Nilo Mata-Cervera, Deepak K. Sharma, Yijie Shen +2
We disclose the existence of a type of optical skyrmion, Gauss-Stokes (GS) skyrmions, that is naturally present in an optical vortex around its phase singularity. Contrary to previ…
Observation of helical pulses
Ren Wang, Shuai Shi, Zeyi Zhang +4
Ultrafast spatiotemporal vortex pulses constitute a category within spatiotemporal topological waves. Nevertheless, the experimental realization of helical pulses single or few cyc…
