Geometric phases in astigmatic optical modes of arbitrary order
Steven J. M. Habraken, Gerard Nienhuis
The transverse spatial structure of a paraxial beam of light is fully characterized by a set of parameters that vary only slowly under free propagation. They specify bosonic ladder…

Rotationally induced vortices in optical cavity modes
Steven J. M. Habraken, Gerard Nienhuis
We show that vortices appear in the modes of an astigmatic optical cavity when it is put into rotation about its optical axis. We study the properties of these vortices and discuss…

Rotational stabilization and destabilization of an optical cavity
Steven J. M. Habraken, Gerard Nienhuis
We investigate the effects of rotation about the axis of an astigmatic two-mirror cavity on its optical properties. This simple geometry is the first example of an optical system t…
