This book deals with theoretical bases of the modern optics division concerned with
coherent light fields with singularities characterized by phase uncertainty. Singular light …

Polarization singularities are superpositions of orbital angular momentum (OAM) states in
orthogonal circular polarization basis. The intrinsic OAM of light beams arises due to the …

We show that the average orbital angular momentum (OAM) of twisted light can be
measured simply and robustly with a single stationary cylindrical lens and a camera …

Singularities are ubiquitous in nature and generate high levels of interest and activity among
scientists. At a singularity, a parameter of interest becomes indeterminate, a single point at …

Polarization singularities are superpositions of orbital angular momentum (OAM) states in
orthogonal circular polarization basis. The intrinsic OAM of light beams arises due to the …

We introduce a simple, single beam method for determination of the topological charge of
polychromatic optical vortices. It is based on astigmatic transformation of singular optical …

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a noninterferometric method to quantitatively
determine the topological charge and complete phase structure of a vortex beam scrambled …

We discuss a three-parameter family of paraxial coherent light fields that originate from a
complex amplitude composed of the following four cofactors: the Gaussian beam, a …

Orbital angular momentum (OAM) is one of multiple dimensions of beams. A beam can carry
multiple OAM components, and their intensity weights form the OAM spectrum. The OAM …

We report the experimental implementation of a new method for generating multiple
dynamical optical tweezers, where each one of them is generated with an independent …
