Enhancing the Spin Hall Effect of Cylindrically Polarized Beams
MicromachinesTwo linked gear wheels in a micromachine can be simultaneously rotated in opposite directions by using a laser beam that has in its section areas the spin angular momentum (SAM) of the opposite sign.

Focusing a second-order cylindrical vector beam with a gradient index Mikaelian lens [PDF]
Компьютерная оптика, 2020 In this paper, we numerically simulate the focusing of a second-order cylindrical vector beam with a gradient index Mikaelian lens. It is shown that the lens forms a region of the reverse energy flow near its output surface.

Momentum Transfer by Laser Ablation of Irregularly Shaped Space Debris [PDF]
, 2010 Proposals for ground-based laser remediation of space debris rely on the creation of appropriately directed ablation-driven impulses to either divert the fragment or drive it into an orbit with a perigee allowing atmospheric capture.

Cylindrical vector beams for rapid polarization-dependent measurements in atomic systems
, 2011 We demonstrate the use of cylindrical vector beams - beams with spatially varying polarization - for detecting and preparing the spin of a warm rubidium vapor in a spatially dependent manner.

Mimicking Chiral Light-Matter Interaction
, 2019 We demonstrate that electric-dipole scatterers can mimic chiral light-matter interaction by generating far-field circular polarization upon scattering, even though the optical chirality of the incident field as well as that of the scattered light is zero.

Wave-vector and polarization dependence of conical refraction
, 2013 We experimentally address the wave-vector and polarization dependence of the internal conical refraction phenomenon by demonstrating that an input light beam of elliptical transverse profile refracts into two beams after passing along one of the optic ...

Physical meaning of the radial index of Laguerre-Gauss beams [PDF]
, 2015 The Laguerre-Gauss modes are a class of fundamental and well-studied optical fields. These stable, shape-invariant photons - exhibiting circular-cylindrical symmetry - are familiar from laser optics, micro-mechanical manipulation, quantum optics ...

Dynamic control of cylindrical vector beams via anisotropy
Optics Express, 2018 We demonstrate that the spatially diffractive properties of cylindrical vector beams could be controlled via linear interactions with anisotropic crystals. It is the first time to show experimentally that the diffraction of the vector beams can be either suppressed or enhanced significantly during propagation, depending on the sign of anisotropy ...
