Topological approach of characterizing optical Skyrmions and Skyrmion lattices
A. McWilliam, C. M. Cisowski, Z. Ye +4
The Skyrmion number of paraxial optical Skyrmions can be defined solely via their polarization singularities and associated winding numbers, using a mathematical derivation that ex…

Optical angular momentum in atomic transitions: a paradox
Stephen M. Barnett, Fiona C. Speirits, Mohamed Babiker
Stated simply the paradox is as follows: it is clear that the orbital angular momentum of a light beam in its direction of propagation is an intrinsic quantity, and therefore has t…
