Polarization, the path traced by light's electric field vector, appears in all areas of optics. In
recent decades, various technologies have enabled the precise control of light's polarization …

Polarization plays a key role in science; hence its versatile manipulation is crucial. Existing
polarization optics, however, can only manipulate polarization in a single transverse plane …

Recent advances in wavefront sha** have enabled complex classes of Structured Light
which carry spin and orbital angular momentum, offering new tools for light-matter …

The index of refraction plays a decisive role in the design and classification of optical
materials and devices; therefore, its proper and accurate determination is essential. In most …

As a classical or quantum system undergoes a cyclic evolution governed by slow change in
its parameter space, it acquires a topological phase factor known as the geometric or Berry …

This paper describes an analytical approach for the incorporation of a specific class of non-
diffracting beams known as zero-order continuous frozen waves (FWs) within the context of …

The orbital angular momentum (OAM) transformation of optical vortex is realized upon using
aluminum metasurfaces with phase distributions derived from the caustic theory. The …

The spatial structure of polarization in the vector optical beam provides an additional degree
of freedom to manipulate light and control the light–matter interaction. The manipulation of …

Based on the original concept of optical frozen waves—one-dimensional structured threads
of light constructed from Bessel beams—an approach to construct longitudinally structured …

The ability to generate any arbitrarily chosen optical field in a three-dimensional (3D) space,
in the absence of any sources, without modifying the index of refraction, remains an elusive …
