Theory of paraxial optical Skyrmions
Z. Ye, S. M. Barnett, S. Franke-Arnold +4
Vector light beams, characterised by a spatially varying polarisation, can exhibit localised structures reminiscent of the Skyrmions familiar from the study of magnetic media. We p…

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…
