Non-orthogonal Transformations of Structured Light Using Ellipticity-Dependent Ince-Gaussian Modes

Dayver Daza-Salgado, Edgar Medina-Segura, Carmelo Rosales-Guzmán

The Ince-Gaussian modes form a complete set of solutions to the paraxial wave equation parametrized by an ellipticity parameter ε, enabling a continuous transition between Laguerre…

A Higher-Order Poincaré Ellipsoid representation for elliptical vector beams

Dayver Daza-Salgado, Edgar Medina-Segura, Valeria Rodriguez-Fajardo +2

The Higher-Order Poincaré Sphere (HOPS) provides a powerful geometrical tool for representing vector beams as points on the surface of a unitary sphere. Since a particular position…

Emulating a quantum Maxwell's demon with non-separable structured light

Edgar Medina-Segura, Paola C. Obando, Light Mkhumbuza +6

Maxwell's demon (MD) has proven an instructive vehicle by which to explore the relationship between information theory and thermodynamics, fueling the possibility of information dr…

Hermite-Laguerre-Gaussian Vector Modes

Edgar Medina-Segura, Leonardo Miranda-Culin, Benjamin Perez-García +2

Vector modes are well-defined field distributions with spatially varying polarisation states, rendering them irreducible to the product of a single spatial mode and a single polari…

Violation of Bell's inequality for Mathieu-Gauss vector modes

Edgar Medina-Segura, Francisco I. Mecillas-Hernandez, Thomas Konrad +2

Vector beams display varying polarisation over planes transversal to their direction of propagation. The variation of polarisation implies that the electric field cannot be express…

Vectorial Helico-Conical beams

Edgar Medina-Segura, Leonardo Miranda-Culin, Valeria Rodríguez-Fajardo +2

In this work, we propose and demonstrate experimentally a new family of vector beams, the Helico-Conical Vector Beams (HCVB), whose spatial degree of freedom is encoded in the Heli…
