Sharp Focusing of a Hybrid Vector Beam with a Polarization Singularity

open access: yesPhotonics, 2021
The key result of this work is the use of the global characteristics of the polarization singularities of the entire beam as a whole, rather than the analysis of local polarization, Stokes and Poincare–Hopf indices.

Sharp focusing of beams with V-point polarization singularities

open access: yesКомпьютерная оптика, 2021
It is theoretically and numerically shown that when tightly focusing an n-th order vector light field that has the central V-point (at which the linear polarization direction is undetermined), the polarization singularity index n, and a "flower"-shaped ...

Configuring Polarization Singularity Array Composed of C-Point Pairs

open access: yesIEEE Photonics Journal, 2022

Polarization singularities of focused, radially polarized fields [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Optics, 2006
The state of polarization of strongly focused, radially polarized electromagnetic fields is examined. It is found that several types of polarization singularities exist. Their relationship is investigated, and it is demonstrated that on smoothly varying a system parameter, such as the aperture angle of the lens, different polarization singularities can

Comparison of focusing of short pulses in the Debye approximation [PDF]

open access: yesКомпьютерная оптика, 2018
We have examined different types of pulses and features of their frequency spectra. Calculations have shown that a significant distinction between the pulses only takes place at a very short pulse duration (shorter than the oscillation period).

Evolution of coherence singularities in polarization singular beams

open access: yesApplied Optics, 2023
The evolution of correlation singularities in partially coherent polarization singular beams (PC-PSBs) is investigated. Since PSBs are the superposition of two orthogonally polarized vortex beams, the occurrence of coherence singularities in PC-PSBs is strongly governed by the topological charge of the component vortex beams and the spatial coherence ...

Singularities of Partially Polarized Vortex Beams [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2020
In this paper we look at three ways to define singularities in a partially coherent electromagnetic beam with non-uniform polarization. A simple model of such a beam is developed to highlight features of such singularities.

Polarization singularities from unfolding an optical vortex through a birefringent crystal [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Optical vortices (nodal lines and phase singularities) are the generic singularities of scalar optics but are unstable in vector optics. We investigate experimentally and theoretically the unfolding of a uniformly polarized optical vortex beam on ...

Fresnel and Fraunhofer diffraction of a Gaussian beam with several polarization singularities [PDF]

open access: yesКомпьютерная оптика, 2018
Alongside phase singularities (optical vortices), there may be light fields with polarization singularities (PS), i.e. isolated intensity nulls with radial, azimuthal, or radial-azimuthal polarization around them.
