Stochastic Stokes origami: folds, cusps and skyrmionic facets in random polarisation fields
Kerr Maxwell, Mark R Dennis
We consider the jacobian of a random transverse polarisation field, from the transverse plane to the Poincaré sphere, as a Skyrme density partially covering the sphere. Connected d…

Optical momentum distributions in monochromatic, isotropic random vector fields
Titouan Gadeyne, Mark R. Dennis
We investigate the decomposition of the electromagnetic Poynting momentum density in three-dimensional random monochromatic fields into orbital and spin parts, using analytical and…
