Research on spatially structured light has seen an explosion in activity over the past decades, powered by technological advances for generating such light and driven by …
Spatiotemporal sculpturing of light pulse with ultimately sophisticated structures represents a major goal of the everlasting pursue of ultra-fast information transmission and processing as …
Polarization and geometric phase shaping via a space-variant anisotropy has attracted considerable interest for fabrication of flat optical elements and generation of vector beams …
Optical interactions are governed by both spin and angular momentum conservation laws, which serve as a tool for controlling light–matter interactions or elucidating electron …
INTRODUCTION Light beams carry both energy and momentum, which can exert a small but detectable pressure on objects they illuminate. In 1992, it was realized that light can also …
Structured light, which exhibits nontrivial intensity, phase, and polarization patterns in space, has key applications ranging from imaging and 3D micromanipulation to classical and …
Since the second half of the 20th century, ideas to develop methods for the formation of optical vortices (OVs) or OV beams–regions of circular motion of energy flow in an …
Structured light in the short-wavelength regime opens exciting avenues for the study of ultrafast spin and electronic dynamics. Here, we demonstrate theoretically and …
We report the generation of vector and vortex high-order harmonic beams in argon using the femtosecond laser pulses propagated through the phase-modifying optical elements (S …
