Optical Vortex Braiding with Bessel Beams
Andrew A. Voitiv, Jasmine M. Andersen, Mark E. Siemens +1
We propose the braiding of optical vortices in a laser beam with more than 2π rotation by superposing Bessel modes with a plane wave. We experimentally demonstrate this by using a…
Hydrodynamics Explanation for the Splitting of Higher-charge Optical Vortices
Andrew A. Voitiv, Jasmine M. Andersen, Patrick C. Ford +2
We show that a two-dimensional hydrodynamics model provides a physical explanation for the splitting of higher-charge optical vortices under elliptical deformations. The model is a…
The Anatomy of Geometric Phase for an Optical Vortex Transiting a Lens
Mark T. Lusk, Andrew A. Voitiv, Chuanzhou Zhu +1
We present an analytical means of quantifying the fractional accumulation of geometric phase for an optical vortex transiting a cylindrical lens. The standard fiber bundle of a Sph…
