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…
Optimal birefringence distributions for star test polarimetry
Anthony Vella, Miguel A. Alonso
Star test polarimetry is an imaging polarimetry technique in which an element with spatially-varying birefringence is placed in the pupil plane to encode polarization information i…
Study of reflectors for illumination via conformal maps
Luis A. Aleman Castaneda, Miguel A. Alonso
We present an approach for the study and design of reflectors with rotational or translational symmetry that redirect light from a point source into any desired radiant intensity d…
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…
Modal Majorana sphere and hidden symmetries of structured-Gaussian beams
R. Gutiérrez-Cuevas, S. A. Wadood, A. N. Vamivakas +1
Structured-Gaussian beams are shown to be fully and uniquely represented by a collection of points (or constellation) on the surface of the modal Majorana sphere, providing a compl…
