Fractional optical skyrmions
Yuancong Cao, Ram Nandan Kumar, Hadrian Bezuidenhout +3
Optical topologies in the form of Skyrmions have attracted significant interest of late, where their integer Skyrmion number has been shown to be robust to complex media. Here we c…

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…
