Liquid crystal spatial-mode converters for the orbital angular momentum of light
Sergei Slussarenko, Bruno Piccirillo, Vladimir Chigrinov +2
We present a tunable liquid crystal device that converts pure orbital angular momentum eigenmodes of a light beam into equal-weight superpositions of opposite-handed eigenmodes and…
Complete experimental toolbox for alignment-free quantum communication
Vincenzo D'Ambrosio, Eleonora Nagali, Stephen P. Walborn +4
Quantum communication employs the counter-intuitive features of quantum physics to perform tasks that are im- possible in the classical world. It is crucial for testing the foundat…
Polarization pattern of vector vortex beams generated by -plates with different topological charges
Filippo Cardano, Ebrahim Karimi, Sergei Slussarenko +3
We describe the polarization topology of the vector beams emerging from a patterned birefringent liquid crystal plate with a topological charge at its center (-plate). The p…
Laser-induced radial birefringence and spin-to-orbital optical angular momentum conversion in silver-doped glasses
Jafar Mostafavi Amjad, Hamid Reza Khalesifard, Sergei Slussarenko +3
Samples of Ag/Na ion-exchanged glass that have been subject to intense laser irradiation may develop novel optical properties, as a consequence of the formation of patter…
