General diffraction properties of aperiodic slit arrays
Thiago de Souza Ferreira, Daniel Jonathan, Antonio Z. Khoury +1
Fraunhofer diffraction plays a vital role in experimental physics not only because it accurately describes the behaviour of light in the usual propagation limit, but also because i…
Trapping microparticles in a structured dark focus
F. Almeida, I. Sousa, O. Kremer +5
We experimentally demonstrate stable trapping and controlled manipulation of silica microspheres in a structured optical beam consisting of a dark focus surrounded by light in all…
Optical computing of quantum revivals
Mayanne R. Maia, Daniel Jonathan, Thiago R. Oliveira +2
Interference is the mechanism through which waves can be structured into the most fascinating patterns. While for sensing, imaging, trapping, or in fundamental investigations, stru…
Spin to orbital angular momentum transfer in nonlinear wave mixing
B. Pinheiro da Silva, W. T. Buono, L. J. Pereira +3
We demonstrate the spin to orbital angular momentum transfer in the nonlinear mixing of structured light beams. A vector vortex is coupled to a circularly polarized Gaussian beam i…
Periodic discretized continuous observables are neither continuous nor discrete
Thais L. Silva, Łukasz Rudnicki, Daniel S. Tasca +1
Most of the fundamental characteristics of quantum mechanics, such as non-locality and contextuality, are manifest in discrete, finite-dimensional systems. However, many quantum in…
Pattern revivals from fractional Gouy phases in structured light
B. Pinheiro da Silva, V. A. Pinillos, D. S. Tasca +2
We investigate pattern revivals in specially designed optical structures that combine different transverse modes. In general, the resulting pattern is not preserved under free prop…
