Time diffraction of optical helicity

Alex J. Vernon, Jingyi Wu, Anton Y. Bykov +4

If in a classic double-slit interference experiment the light that passes though one slit is in an orthogonal polarisation state to that of the second slit, no visible interference…

Electromagnetic symmetry dislocations

Alex J. Vernon, Sebastian Golat, Francisco J. Rodríguez-Fortuño

Singular optics aims to understand and manipulate light's topological defects, pioneered by the discovery that phase vortex lines, strands of destructive interference, naturally oc…

Longitudinal field controls vector vortex beams in anisotropic epsilon-near-zero metamaterials

Vittorio Aita, Diane J. Roth, Anastasiia Zaleska +5

Structured light plays an important role in metrology, optical trapping and manipulation, communications, quantum technologies, nonlinear optics and provides a rich playground for…

Radiation forces and torques in optics and acoustics

Ivan Toftul, Sebastian Golat, Francisco J. Rodríguez-Fortuño +3

The mechanical action of various kinds of waves has been recognized for several centuries. The first tide of scientific interest in wave-induced forces and torques emerged at the t…

Mixing Skyrmions and Merons in Topological Quasicrystals of Evanescent Optical Field

Henry J. Putley, Bryn Davies, Francisco J. Rodríguez-Fortuño +2

Photonic skyrmion and meron lattices are structured light fields with topologically protected textures, analogous to magnetic skyrmions and merons. Here, we report the theoretical…

Plasmonic Brownian Ratchets for Directed Transport of Analytes

Marciano Palma do Carmo, David Mack, Diane J. Roth +6

Controlled long-range transport of micro- and nano-scale objects is a key requirement in lab-on-a-chip and microfluidic applications, enabling the efficient capture, concentration,…
