Controlling the various degrees‐of‐freedom (DoFs) of structured light at both quantum and
classical levels is of paramount importance in optics. It is a conventional paradigm to treat …

Skyrmions are topologically stable quasiparticles that have been predicted and
demonstrated in quantum fields, solid-state physics and magnetic materials, but only …

Structured light refers to the arbitrarily tailoring of optical fields in all their degrees of freedom
(DoFs), from spatial to temporal. Although orbital angular momentum (OAM) is perhaps the …

Optical aberrations place fundamental limits on the achievable resolution with focusing and
imaging. In the context of structured light, optical imperfections and misalignments and …

Structured light recently highlighted the higher-dimensional control with many tailored
degrees of freedom (DoFs) such as amplitude, wavelength, polarization, and orbital angular …

In recent times, the optical-analogous skyrmions, topological quasiparticles with
sophisticated vectorial structures in light, have received an increasing amount of interest …

Vortices in fluids and gases have piqued the human interest for centuries. Development of
classical-wave physics and quantum mechanics highlighted wave vortices characterized by …

The interest in tailoring light in all its degrees of freedom is steadily gaining traction, driven
by the tremendous developments in the toolkit for the creation, control and detection of what …

Transverse electromagnetic waves are important carriers of information and energy. In 1996,
Hellwarth and Nouchi theoretically identified a radically different, non-transverse type of …

Space-time wave packets (STWPs) constitute a broad class of pulsed optical fields that are
rigidly transported in linear media without diffraction or dispersion, and are therefore …
