Surface Plasmon Resonance Sensors Using Optical Vortices [PDF]
This study investigates the change in both the angular position and width of the reflectance minimum of an SPR sensor in the Kretschmann configuration when optical vortices instead of plane waves are used for illumination. An analytical expression of the

Generation of femtosecond polygonal optical vortices from a mode-locked quasi-frequency-degenerate laser [PDF]
Polygonal optical vortices—a new subset of optical vortices—uniquely enable numerous applications due to the new degrees of freedom offered and their customizable light intensity structure.

The Mechanism of the Formation of the Spin Hall Effect in a Sharp Focus
We have shown how the spin Hall effect is formed in a tight focus for two light fields with initial linear polarization. We have demonstrated that an even number of local subwavelength regions appear in which the sign of the longitudinal projection of ...

Laser Beam Positioning by Using a Broken-Down Optical Vortex Marker
We propose the use of high-order optical vortices as markers in the positioning of a laser beam. The broken optical vortices are arranged in constellations.

Evolutions of optical vortices under wide Gaussian background
Analytically discussed is the evolution properties of optical vortices superimposed by Gaussian backgrounds. A kind of Tornado-like pattern is obtained after linear propagations, when the Gaussian background is wide enough compared with optical vortices.

Dividing the Topological Charge of a Laguerre–Gaussian Beam by 2 Using an Off-Axis Gaussian Beam
In optical computing machines, many parameters of light beams can be used as data carriers. If the data are carried by optical vortices, the information can be encoded by the vortex topological charge (TC).

Longitudinal component of the Poynting vector of a tightly focused optical vortex with circular polarization [PDF]
We numerically investigated the focusing of optical vortices with the wavelength λ = 532 nm and right-hand circular polarization by using a diffractive lens with the numerical aperture NA = 0.95.
