Building ideal paraxial optical skyrmions using rational maps
C. Cisowski, S. Franke-Arnold, C. Ross
We introduce a simple mathematical expression based on rational maps to construct ideal paraxial optical skyrmions fields including Neel-type and Bloch-type skyrmions, anti-skyrmio…
Single-shot characterization of vector beams by generalized measurements
Mustafa A. Al Khafaji, Claire M. Cisowski, Harry Jimbrown +3
Vector vortex beams, featuring independent spatial modes in orthogonal polarization components, offer an increase in information density for emerging applications in both classical…
Transfer and evolution of structured polarization in a double-V atomic system
Zhenzhu Li, Sonja Franke-Arnold, Thomas W. Clark. Jinwen Wang +2
We numerically investigate the transfer of optical information from a vector-vortex control beam to an unstructured probe beam, as mediated by an atomic vapour. The right and left…
Geometric phases of light: insights from fibre bundle theory
C. M. Cisowski, J. B. Götte, S. Franke-Arnold
Geometric phases are ubiquitous in physics; they act as memories of the transformation of a physical system. In optics, the most prominent examples are the Pancharatnam-Berry phase…
Visualization of magnetic fields with cylindrical vector beams in a warm atomic vapor
Shuwei Qiu, Jinwen Wang, Francesco Castellucci +6
We propose and demonstrate an experimental implementation for the observation of magnetic fields from spatial features of absorption profiles in a warm atomic vapor. A radially pol…
Angular momentum redirection phase of vector beams in a non-planar geometry
Amy McWilliam, Claire Marie Cisowski, Robert Bennett +1
An electric field propagating along a non-planar path can acquire geometric phases. Previously, geometric phases have been linked to spin redirection and independently to spatial m…
