Purity of vector vortex beams through a birefringent amplifier
Hend Sroor, Nyameko Lisa, Darryl Naidoo +2
Creating high-quality vector vortex (VV) beams is possible with a myriad of techniques at low power, and while a few studies have produced such beams at high-power, none have consi…
Optimised brightness from solid-state lasers
Darryl Naidoo, Igor A. Litvin, Andrew Forbes
Laser brightness is a measure of the ability to de- liver intense light to a target, and encapsulates both the energy content and the beam quality. High brightness lasers requires…
Controlled generation of higher-order Poincare sphere beams from a laser
Darryl Naidoo, Filippus Roux, Angela Dudley +4
The angular momentum state of light can be described by positions on a higher-order Poincaré (HOP) sphere, where superpositions of spin and orbital angular momentum states give ris…
The digital laser
Sandile Ngcobo, Igor Litvin, Liesl Burger +1
It is well-known how to control the spatial output from a laser, with most solutions to date involving customised intra-cavity elements in the form of apertures, diffractive optics…
