Structured light beams have played important roles in the fields of optical imaging and optical manipulation. However, light fields scatter when they encounter highly anisotropic scattering media, such as biological tissue, which destroys their original ...

Optical trapping and optical binding using cylindrical vector beams
We report on the use of cylindrical vector beams for optical manipulation of micron and sub-micron sized particles using the methods of a single-beam gradient force trap (optical tweezers) and an evanescent-field surface trap (optical binding).

We experimentally show an all-optical multipolar decomposition of the lowest-order Eigenmodes of a single gold nanoprism using azimuthally and radially polarized cylindrical vector beams.

Spin-orbit interaction of light induced by transverse spin angular momentum engineering [PDF]
We report the first demonstration of a direct interaction between the extraordinary transverse spin angular momentum in evanescent waves and the intrinsic orbital angular momentum in optical vortex beams.

We propose a new approach to generating a pair of initial beams for a polarization converter that operates by summing up two opposite-sign circularly polarized beams.

Dynamic control of cylindrical vector beams via anisotropy
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 ...

Classical and quantum properties of cylindrically polarized states of light
We investigate theoretical properties of beams of light with non-uniform polarization patterns. Specifically, we determine all possible configurations of cylindrically polarized modes (CPMs) of the electro-magnetic field, calculate their total angular ...

Reverse energy flow in vector modes of optical fibers
In this paper, the propagation of a second-order cylindrical vector beam in gradient-index and microstructured fibers is numerically simulated using the RSoft Fullwave software.

Characterization of vector diffraction-free beams
It is observed that a constant unit vector denoted by $\mathbf I$ is needed to characterize a complete orthonormal set of vector diffraction-free beams. The previously found diffraction-free beams are shown to be included as special cases. The $\mathbf I$

This study presents novel anti‐counterfeiting tags with multilevel security features that utilize additional disguise features. They combine luminescent nanosized Ln‐MOFs with conductive polymers to multifunctional mixed‐matrix membranes and powder composites. The materials exhibit visible/NIR emission and matrix‐based conductivity even as black bodies.
