Skyrmion topology of scalar waves in real and momentum space
Nai H. Kwong, Ewan M. Wright, Jan Wingenbach +4
Generalizations of magnetic skyrmions to the context of other areas of physics, such as plasmonics, optics (including microcavity polaritons) and even water waves have become an im…
Skyrmions in scalar fields of non-Hermitian optical microcavities: spontaneous formation, nonlinear control, and optical forces
Jan Wingenbach, Roman Lebs, Xuekai Ma +5
Topological textures of light offer powerful routes for structuring optical fields, controlling wave transport, and manipulating matter. Skyrmions, long studied as topological soli…
Energy transport in diffusive waveguides
Kevin J. Mitchell, Vytautas Gradauskas, Jack Radford +4
The guiding and transport of energy, for example of electromagnetic waves underpins many technologies that have shaped modern society, ranging from long distance optical fibre tele…
Optical analogues of the Newton-Schrödinger equation and boson star evolution
Thomas Roger, Calum Maitland, Kali Wilson +4
Many gravitational phenomena that lie at the core of our understanding of the Universe have not yet been directly observed. An example in this sense is the boson star that has been…
