Thirty years ago, Coullet et al. proposed that a special optical field exists in laser cavities
bearing some analogy with the superfluid vortex. Since then, optical vortices have been …

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 …

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 …

This book provides an in-depth introduction to modelling of long-range propagation of orbital
angular momentum (OAM) modes as well as more general structured light beams through …

Stokes phase is the phase difference between orthogonal component states in the
decomposition of any polarization state. Phase singularities in the Stokes phase distribution …

We demonstrate collinear phase-shifting holography for measuring complex optical modes
of twisted light beams with orbital angular momentum (OAM) generated by passing a laser …

Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) beams and their orbital angular momentum (OAM) have found a
plethora of applications—from quantum information to gravitational-wave detection. In this …

We show that the far-field speckle patterns observed on the transmission of polarization
structured light beams through a random diffuser screen have distinct spatial textures, which …

In this paper we present experimental studies on diffraction of V-point singularities through
equilateral and isosceles right triangular apertures. When V-point index, also called …

We describe a laser beam engineered to carry l= 0 and l= 1 orbital angular momentum
(OAM) states in orthogonal polarizations. It is observed that on collinear transmission …
