We deduce a set of circularly polarized Gaussian laser beam modes via a separation-of-variables solution to the Helmholtz wave equation in oblate spheriodal coordinates. On transforming to cylindrical coordinates these become the well-known…

Vector modes represent the most general state of light in which, the spatial and polarisation degrees of freedom are coupled in a non-separable way. Crucially, while polarisation is limited to a bi-dimensional space, the spatial degree of…

A vortex beam, akin to a quantized vortex in superfluids, possesses inherent orbital angular momentum (OAM), resulting in the propagation of a spiral-shaped wavefront. Here we demonstrate that a pulsed vortex beam with OAM in the terahertz…
