This book deals with theoretical bases of the modern optics division concerned with
coherent light fields with singularities characterized by phase uncertainty. Singular light …

Atmospheric turbulence can cause critical problems in many applications. To effectively
avoid or mitigate turbulence, knowledge of turbulence strength at various distances could be …

For a physicist, and more generally for a scientist, one of the pleasures in everyday life is to
detect exemplifying manifestations and avatars of the topic he is working on. Why do small …

The first article by Turunen and Friberg deals with a class of fields with propagation-invariant
properties such as the optical intensity distribution. Coherent and partially coherent …

We report, to the best of our knowledge, the first optical trapping experimental demonstration
of microparticles with frozen waves. Frozen waves are an efficient method to model …

Owing to their robustness against diffraction, Bessel beams (BBs) offer special advantages
in various applications. To enhance their applicability, we present a method to generate self …

The frozen-wave-based longitudinal orbital angular momentum multiplexing (LOAMM)
system developed in [IEEE Photonics J. 10, 7900416 (2018) 10.1109/JPHOT …

The index of refraction plays a decisive role in the design and classification of optical
materials and devices; therefore, its proper and accurate determination is essential. In most …

Frozen waves (FWs) are very interesting particular cases of nondiffracting beams whose
envelopes are static and whose longitudinal intensity patterns can be chosen a priori. We …

Skyrmions are topologically stable fields that cannot be smoothly deformed into any other
field configuration that differs topologically, that is, one that possesses a different integer …
