Non-monotonic dependence of OAM Schmidt spectrum on crystal thickness

Harshal Jain, Suman Karan, Radhika Prasad +1

The orbital angular momentum (OAM) of photons provides a high-dimensional resource for quantum information protocols. The dimensionality of OAM-entangled states generated via spont…

OAM-mode sorting with a wavefront twister

Suman Karan, Swati Chaudhary, Harshwardhan Wanare +1

We propose an OAM sorter based on a novel optical element that we refer to as a wavefront twister. It is a generalization of the conventional wavefront rotators such as the Dove pr…

Polarization-preserving wavefront rotator

Suman Karan, Aman Srivastava, Pratham Sachin Todkar +1

A K-mirror rotates the wavefront of an incident optical field. However, the rotation always introduces polarization changes in the transmitted field. This is a serious concern for…

An experimental technique for measuring radial coherence

Radhika Prasad, Nilakshi Senapati, Suman Karan +4

Coherence refers to correlations between field vibrations at two separate points in degrees of freedom such as space, time, and polarisation. In the context of space, coherence the…

A wavefront rotator with near-zero mean polarization change

Suman Karan, Nilakshi Senapati, Anand K. Jha

A K-mirror is a device that rotates the wavefront of an incident optical field. It has recently gained prominence over Dove prism, another commonly used wavefront rotator, due to t…
