A single colloidal sphere circulating around a periodically modulated optical vortex trap can enter a dynamical state in which it intermittently alternates between freely running around the ring-like optical vortex and becoming trapped in…
We present experimental and theoretical results on formation of quantum vortices in a laser beam propagating in a nonlinear medium. Topological constrains richer than the mere conservation of vorticity impose an elaborate dynamical behavior…
We concentrate on the forces and torques exerted on transparent and absorbing particles trapped in laser beams containing optical vortices. We review previous theoretical and experimental work and then present new calculations of the effect…
We use vortex photon fields with orbital and spin angular momentum to probe chiral fluctuations within liquid crystals. In the regime of iridescence with a well-defined pitch length of chirality, we find low energy Raman scattering that can…
Light beam with optical vortices can propagate in free space only with integer orbital angular momentum. Here, we invert this scientific consensus theoretically and experimentally by proposing light beams carrying natural non-integer…
We introduce the phenomenon of spiraling vortices in driven-dissipative (non-equilibrium) exciton-polariton condensates excited by a non-resonant pump beam. At suitable low pump intensities, these vortices are shown to spiral along circular…
Local propagation and energy flux in structured optical fields is often associated with the Poynting vector. However, the local phase gradient (i.e., local wavevector) in monochromatic fields in free space is described by another…
Vortex dynamics in inhomogeneous Bose-Einstein condensates are studied numerically in two and three dimensions. We simulate the precession of a single vortex around the center of a trapped condensate, and use the Magnus force to estimate…
Exciton-polariton condensates display a variety of intriguing pattern-forming behaviors, particularly when confined in potential traps. It has previously been predicted that triangular lattices of vortices of the same sign will form…
We study trapping of a cold atom by a single vortex line in an extreme type II superconducting chip, allowing for pinning and friction. We evaluate the atom's spin flip rate and its dephasing due to the vortex fluctuations in equilibrium…
In this work, we present a thorough analysis of the propagation of fiber modes carrying orbital angular momentum in twisted, tapered, ring-core optical fibers. In particular, by generalizing the usual coupled-mode approach to include the…
The article concerns an investigation of the Fresnel diffraction characteristics of two types of phase optical elements, under Gaussian laser beam illumination. Both elements provide an azimuthal periodicity of the phase retardation. The…
We study the development and decay of vortex in viscoelastic fluids between coaxial cylinders by means of experiments with solutions of polyacrylamide and glycerin and numerical simulations. The transient process is triggered when the inner…
Expressions corresponding to the transmission of a uniaxial optically active crystal platelet are provided for an optical axis parallel and perpendicular to the plane of interface. The optical activity is taken into account by a consistent…
Based on the Kirchhoff-Fresnel approximation, we consider behavior of the optical vortices (OV) upon propagation of the diffracted Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) beams with topological charge |m| = 1, 2. Under conditions of weak diffraction…
Optical trapping and manipulation using laser beams play a key role in many areas including biology, atomic science, and nanofabrication. Here, we propose and experimentally demonstrate the first use of a vortex-pair beam in optical…
We first predict the splitting of a spin degenerate impurity level when this impurity is irradiated by a circularly polarized laser beam tuned in the transparency region of a semiconductor. This splitting, which comes from different…
Vorticity plays a prominent role in the dynamics of incompressible viscous flows. In two-dimensional freely decaying turbulence, after a short transient period, evolution is essentially driven by interactions of viscous vortices, the…
The task of experimentally investigating the inherently dual properties of a supersolid, a simultaneous superfluid and solid, has become more critical following the recent experimental exploration of supersolid regimes in dipolar…
Edge diffraction of a circular optical vortex (OV) beam transforms its singular structure: a multicharged axial OV splits into the set of single-charged ones that form the 'singular skeleton' of the diffracted beam. The OV positions in the…
