Field-Programmable Topological Torons in Chiral Nematic Liquid Crystals
Adithya Pradeep, Urban Mur, Ji Qin +7
Torons are three-dimensional double-twist solitons in chiral nematic liquid crystals that form localised director configurations protected by topology and bounded by closed defect…

Physically Plausible Vectorial Metrics for Polarization Information Analysis
Runchen Zhang, Xuke Qiu, Yifei Ma +7
The Mueller Matrix Polar Decomposition method decomposes a Mueller matrix into a diattenuator, a retarder, and a depolarizer. Among these elements, the retarder, which plays a key…

Optical Skyrmions in Waveguides
An Aloysius Wang, Yifei Ma, Yuxi Cai +3
Optical skyrmions are topologically non-trivial polarization fields which have recently attracted attention due to their potential use in high density data applications such as opt…
