Vector beams have drawn considerable interest recently because of their unique properties
in the transverse plane. Here we experimentally realize optical storage of a vector beam of …

We experimentally investigate the optical storage of perfect optical vortex (POV) and
spatially multimode perfect optical vortex (MPOV) beams via electromagnetically induced …

We report an experiment in which an optical vortex is stored in a vapor of Rb atoms.
Because of its 2 π phase twist, this mode, also known as the Laguerre-Gauss mode, is …

Optical vortices, which are beams with spiral‐shaped wavefronts and screw phase
dislocations, have potential for supporting high‐capacity optical communications. In this …

Vector vortex beams simultaneously carrying spin and orbital angular momentum of light
promise additional degrees of freedom for modern optics and emerging resources for both …

We suggest a method for spontaneous emission in a four-level atomic system driven by
vortex light beams that generates structured light. The atom in consideration has two excited …

We propose a scheme to investigate the spatial modulation of the refractive index in a dense
atomic ensemble under the action of the Laguerre–Gaussian (LG) beams. Theoretical …

The utilization of vector vortex beams (VVBs) in quantum experiments has recently become
a topic of tremendous interest. However, achieving a focused, high‐resolution, transmission …

The full structuration of light in the transverse plane, including intensity, phase and
polarization, holds the promise of unprecedented capabilities for applications in classical …

We propose a scheme for the generation of arbitrary coherent superpositions of vortex states
in Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) using the orbital-angular-momentum states of light. We …
