Entangled transverse optical vortex
Optics Letters, 2014We discuss a new kind of optical vortex with the angular momentum perpendicular to the flow direction and entangled in that it is a coherent combination of different orbital angular momentum states of the same sign. This entangled state exhibits many unexpected physical properties.

Optical processing with vortex-producing lenses
Applied Optics, 2003We discuss two types of optical processing using vortex-producing angular phase plates. In the most common spatial-filtering operation, an input object is Fourier transformed (either by Fraunhofer diffraction or with a lens system). The Fourier transform is then multiplied by an angular phase pattern, and the product is again Fourier transformed.

Optical guiding of particles is traditionally associated with forces of radiation pressure, and a vast majority of optical traps are based on the ponderomotive forces. However, the developed analysis suggests an additional possibility of trapping which stems from thermal interaction of the laser-irradiated particle and environment via photophoretic ...

Achromatic optical vortex lens
Optics Letters, 2006A vortex lens is a useful optical device having applications ranging from astronomy to microscopy. Current vortex masks operate across a narrow bandwidth. Two design schemes are proposed for creating a vortex across a bandwidth exceeding 100 nm in the visible region of the spectrum.

An optical vortex transmissometer
Ocean Sensing and Monitoring X, 2018A method and system for optical vortex transmissometry. The method uses optical orbital angular momentum (OAM) and optical vortices to discriminate coherent non-scattered light from incoherent scattered light. The system includes a laser which transmits a Gaussian laser beam through a medium.

Abstract A structure of wavefront edge dislocations and associated “transversal” optical vortices in an interference field of two two-dimensional Gaussian beams is analyzed. It was shown that the optical vortex rotation is directed toward the area of higher phase velocity in the interference field (the origin of the phase velocity variation is due to

Starlight transmitted through an optical vortex was observed to form a dark core in the image of the star despite atmospheric turbulence. This affords opportunities to use optical vortices in the hunt for extrasolar planets and zodiacal dust. Observations using a 60-inch f/16 telescope will be reported.

An optical vortex may exhibit a hallmark attributed to viscosity in classical fluids: solid-body rotation near the vortex core. This effect, attributed to spatial coherence properties, may be extended beyond optics to other wave systems. Non-quantized circulation results.
