Shaping caustics into propagation-invariant light
Alessandro Zannotti, Cornelia Denz, Miguel A. Alonso +1
Structured light has revolutionized optical particle manipulation and nano-scale material processing. In particular, propagation-invariant structured light fields, such as Bessel b…
Generalized Gaussian beams in terms of Jones vectors
R. Gutiérrez-Cuevas, M. R. Dennis, M. A. Alonso
Based on the operator formalism that arises from the underlying SU(2) group structure, a formula is derived that provides a description of the generalized Hermite-Laguerre Gauss mo…
Knotting and weak knotting in confined, open random walks using virtual knots
Keith Alexander, Alexander J Taylor, Mark R Dennis
We probe the character of knotting in open, confined polymers, assigning knot types to open curves by identifying their projections as virtual knots. In this sense, virtual knots a…
Geometric phases in 2D and 3D polarized fields: geometrical, dynamical, and topological aspects
Konstantin Y. Bliokh, Miguel A. Alonso, Mark R. Dennis
Geometric phases are a universal concept that underpins numerous phenomena involving multi-component wave fields. These polarization-dependent phases are inherent in interference e…
