Vortices are a hallmark of topologically nontrivial dynamics in nonlinear physics and arise in a huge variety of systems, from space and atmosphere to condensed matter and quantum gases. In optics, vortices manifest as phase twists of the…

Optical vortices are the electromagnetic analogue of fluid vortices studied in hydrodynamics. In both cases the traveling wavefront, either made of light or fluid, is twisted like a corkscrew around its propagation axis - an analogy that…
