Generation of vectorial optical fields with complex spatial distribution in the cross section is
of great interest in areas where exotic optical fields are desired, including particle …

Polarization of a light beam is traditionally studied under the hypothesis that the state of
polarization is uniform across the transverse section of the beam. In such a case, if the …

We propose and experimentally demonstrate the complete and simultaneous modulation of
the amplitude, phase and arbitrary state of polarization of optical beams. Based on a 4-f …

We present a polarimetric-based optical encoder for image encryption and verification. A
system for generating random polarized vector keys based on a Mach-Zehnder …

Adaptive optics normally concerns the feedback correction of phase aberrations. Such
correction has been of benefit in various optical systems, with applications ranging in scale …

Skyrmions, topologically stable configurations of a three-component vector field with
sophisticated textures, have been considered in many contexts, including atomic physics …

Optical superoscillatory imaging, allowing unlabelled far-field super-resolution, has in recent
years become reality. Instruments have been built and their super-resolution imaging …

Generation of complex Poincaré beams is enabled by amplitude and phase modulation
accompanied by simultaneous spatially polarization structuring. A holographic system to …

This paper presents the mathematical model and experimental implementation of a new
method for dynamic control of the spatial intensity distribution of a synthesized beam with …

Methods for generating beams with arbitrary polarization based on the use of liquid crystal
displays have recently attracted interest from a wide range of sources. In this paper we …
