Skyrmions are topologically stable quasiparticles that have been predicted and
demonstrated in quantum fields, solid-state physics and magnetic materials, but only …

Orbital angular momentum (OAM) of light is an important feature of structured
electromagnetic fields exhibiting non-uniform spatial distribution. In contrast to a spin …

Structured light refers to the arbitrarily tailoring of optical fields in all their degrees of freedom
(DoFs), from spatial to temporal. Although orbital angular momentum (OAM) is perhaps the …

Optical aberrations place fundamental limits on the achievable resolution with focusing and
imaging. In the context of structured light, optical imperfections and misalignments and …

In recent times, the optical-analogous skyrmions, topological quasiparticles with
sophisticated vectorial structures in light, have received an increasing amount of interest …

Structured waves are ubiquitous for all areas of wave physics, both classical and quantum,
where the wavefields are inhomogeneous and cannot be approximated by a single plane …

Topological complex transient electromagnetic fields give access to nontrivial light-matter
interactions and provide additional degrees of freedom for information transfer. An important …

Structured light fields embody strong spatial variations of polarization, phase, and amplitude.
Understanding, characterization, and exploitation of such fields can be achieved through …

Polarization singularities and topological polarization structures are generic features of
inhomogeneous vector wave fields of any nature. However, their experimental studies …

Optical Skyrmions have many important properties that make them ideal units for high-
density data applications, including the ability to carry digital information through a discrete …
