Time diffraction of optical helicity
Alex J. Vernon, Jingyi Wu, Anton Y. Bykov +4
If in a classic double-slit interference experiment the light that passes though one slit is in an orthogonal polarisation state to that of the second slit, no visible interference…
Electrically-driven chiral emission from plasmonic tunnel junctions
Yuanyang Xie, Alexey V. Krasavin, Anatoly V. Zayats
Chirality plays a crucial role in a broad range of processes including light-matter interactions in physics, chemistry and biology, which opens up new applications in nanophotonics…
Electron hopping induced phonon pumping in opto-mechanical molecular nanocavities
Yu Bai, Ilya Razdolski, Zhizi Guan +5
Plasmonic molecular nanojunctions exhibit opto-mechanical coupling at the nanoscale, enabling intertwined optical, vibrational and electronic phenomena. Here, we demonstrate plasmo…
Non-linear bistability in pulsed optical traps
Alex J. Vernon, Francisco J. Rodríguez-Fortuño, Anatoly V. Zayats
Optical trapping, also known as optical tweezing or optical levitation, is a technique that uses highly focused laser beams to manipulate micro- and nanoscopic particles. In optica…
Mixing Skyrmions and Merons in Topological Quasicrystals of Evanescent Optical Field
Henry J. Putley, Bryn Davies, Francisco J. Rodríguez-Fortuño +2
Photonic skyrmion and meron lattices are structured light fields with topologically protected textures, analogous to magnetic skyrmions and merons. Here, we report the theoretical…
Propagation of focused scalar and vector vortex beams in anisotropic media: A semi-analytical approach
Vittorio Aita, Mykyta Shevchenko, Francisco J. Rodríguez-Fortuño +1
In the field of structured light, the study of optical vortices and their vectorial extension--vectorial vortex beams--has garnered substantial interest due to their unique phase a…
