We theoretically and experimentally investigate the self-focusing of optical vortices in Kerr media. We observe collapse to a distinct self-similar profile, which becomes unstable to azimuthal perturbations. We analyze the azimuthal modulational instability for ring-shaped vortices and predict the number of azimuthal maxima solely as a function of ...

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.

Optical vortices enabled by structural vortices
The structural symmetry of solids plays an important role in defining their linear and nonlinear optical properties. The quest for versatile, cost-effective, large-scale, and defect-free approaches and materials platforms for tailoring structural and optical properties on demand has been underway for decades.

Singularities in Speckled Speckle [PDF]
Speckle patterns produced by random optical fields with two (or more) widely different correlation lengths exhibit speckle spots that are themselves highly speckled.

Geometric Progression of Optical Vortices
We study coaxial superpositions of Gaussian optical vortices described by a geometric progression. The topological charge (TC) is obtained for all variants of such superpositions. The TC can be either integer or half-integer in the initial plane. However,

Direct generation of optical vortices [PDF]
A detailed scheme is established for the direct generation of optical vortices, signifying light endowed with orbital angular momentum. In contrast to common techniques based on the tailored conversion of the wave front in a conventional beam, this ...

Propagable Optical Vortices with Natural Noninteger Orbital Angular Momentum in Free Space
Light beams with optical vortices can propagate in free space only with integer orbital angular momentum. Herein, this scientific consensus theoretically and experimentally is upheaved by proposing light beams carrying natural noninteger orbital angular ...

Frame dragging with optical vortices [PDF]
General Relativistic calculations in the linear regime have been made for electromagnetic beams of radiation known as optical vortices. These exotic beams of light carry a physical quantity known as optical orbital angular momentum (OAM).
