Improved focusing with Hypergeometric-Gaussian type-II optical modes
Ebrahim Karimi, Bruno Piccirillo, Lorenzo Marrucci +1
We present a novel family of paraxial optical beams having a confluent hypergeometric transverse profile, which we name hypergeometric Gauss modes of type-II (HyGG-II). These modes…
Quantum information transfer from spin to orbital angular momentum of photons
Eleonora Nagali, Fabio Sciarrino, Francesco De Martini +4
The optical "spin-orbit" coupling occurring in a suitably patterned nonuniform birefringent plate known as `q-plate' allows entangling the polarization of a single photon with its…
Light propagation in a birefringent plates with topological charge
Ebrahim Karimi, Bruno Piccirillo, Lorenzo Marrucci +1
We calculated the Fresnel paraxial propagator in a birefringent plate having topological charge at its center, named "-plate". We studied the change of the beam transverse p…
