Experimental demonstration of singular-optical colouring of regularly scattered white light [PDF]
Experimental interference modelling of the effects of colouring of a beam traversing a light-scattering medium is presented. It is shown that the result of colouring of the beam at the output of the medium depends on the magnitudes of the phase delays of

Correlation Optics, Coherence and Optical Singularities: Basic Concepts and Practical Applications
The main idea of this review is to trace the interrelations and inter-transitions between the basic concepts and approaches of the correlation optics (including the light coherence) and the singular optics dealing with networks of “exceptional” points of

Kibble–Zurek scaling due to environment temperature quench in the transverse field Ising model
The Kibble–Zurek mechanism describes defect production due to non-adiabatic passage through a critical point. Here we study its variant from ramping the environment temperature to a critical point. We find that the defect density scales as $$\tau ^{-d\nu
