Optical vortices, beams with spiral wavefronts and screw phase dislocations, have been
attracting increasing interest in various fields. Here, we theoretically propose and …

Despite a plethora of applications ranging from quantum memories to high-resolution
lithography, the current technologies to generate vector vortex beams (VVBs) suffer from …

Cylindrical vector beams and vortex beams, two types of typical singular optical beams
characterized by axially symmetric polarization and helical phase front, possess the unique …

We discovered for the first time that light can twist metal to control the chirality of metal
nanostructures (hereafter, chiral metal nanoneedles). The helicity of optical vortices is …

We propose theoretically and verify experimentally a method of combining a q-plate and a
spiral phase plate to generate arbitrary vector vortex beams on a hybrid-order Poincaré …

The equipartition theorem is an elegant cornerstone theory of thermal and statistical physics.
However, it fails to address some contemporary problems, such as those associated with …

Terahertz radiation with a Bessel beam profile is demonstrated experimentally from a two-
color laser filament in air, which is induced by tailored femtosecond laser pulses with an …
