Tunable spatio-spectral Target Skyrmions and topological multiplexing
Pedro Ornelas, Niladri Modak, Oussama Korichi +3
Optical Skyrmions have recently garnered much interest providing a potential avenue for high capacity, robust topological information transfer. Typically, Skyrmions are derived fro…
Deep diffractive optical neural networks for detecting Skyrmionic topologies of light
Hadrian Bezuidenhout, Cade Peters, Ram Kumar +2
Optical Skyrmions are topological forms of structured light with the potential of an infinite encoding alphabet that is immune to disturbance. This attractive prospect is hindered…
Wavelength-adaptive spin-orbit orbital angular momentum management in three-wave mixing
Kiki Dekkers, Mwezi Koni, Vagharshak Hakobyan +5
Here we propose the use of an adjustable liquid crystal spin-orbit device to shape bi-colour structured light to create bimodal states. We demonstrate the proof-of-principle for tw…
Tailoring light to create invariant modal spectra through complex channels
Cade Peters, Isaac Nape, Andrew Forbes
Light's spatial degree of freedom is emerging as a potential resource for a myriad of applications, in both classical and quantum domains, including secure communication, sensing a…
Enhanced fidelity in nonlinear structured light by virtual light-based apertures
Sachleen Singh, Isaac Nape, Andrew Forbes
Tailoring the degrees of freedom (DoF) of light for a desired purpose, so-called structured light, has delivered numerous advances over the past decade, ranging from communications…
Emulating a quantum Maxwell's demon with non-separable structured light
Edgar Medina-Segura, Paola C. Obando, Light Mkhumbuza +6
Maxwell's demon (MD) has proven an instructive vehicle by which to explore the relationship between information theory and thermodynamics, fueling the possibility of information dr…
