Light beams with an azimuthal phase dependency of $e^{i\ell\phi}$ have helical phase fronts and thus carry orbital angular momentum (OAM), a strictly conserved quantity with propagation. Here, we engineer quasi three-dimensional (3D)…
Spatiotemporal (ST) wave packets refer to a broad class of optical pulses whose spatial and temporal dependence cannot be treated separately. Such space time non-separability can induce exotic physical effects such as non-diffraction,…
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…
We investigate type I second harmonic generation in III-V semiconductor wire waveguides aligned with a crystallographic axis. In this direction, because of the single nonzero tensor element of III-V semiconductors, only frequency conversion…
Surface plasmon polaritons have received much attention over the last decades in photonics or nanotechnology due to their inherent high sensitivity to metal surface variations (e.g., presence of adsorbates or changes in the roughness). It…
The first part of the paper is devoted to diffraction phenomena that can be expressed by fractional Fourier transforms whose orders are real numbers. According to a scalar theory, diffraction acts on the amplitude of the electric field as…
In the present work, we demonstrate that structured light beams are constituted by two traveling waves which transverse components are in opposite directions, that is, incoming and outgoing from the axis of propagation. These waves result…
We discuss propagation effects in realistic, transparent, metallo-dielectric photonic band gap structures in the context of negative refraction and super-resolution in the visible and near infrared ranges. In the resonance tunneling regime,…
The Ince-Gaussian modes form a complete set of solutions to the paraxial wave equation parametrized by an ellipticity parameter {\epsilon}, enabling a continuous transition between Laguerre-Gaussian and Hermite-Gaussian modes While each…
Evolution of power spectrum is studied for non-Gaussian models of structure formation. We generalize the dark-matter-approach to these models and find that the evolved spectrum at weakly nonlinear regime is mainly determined by a simple…
In this paper the theory and simulation results are presented for 3D vector cylindrical rotationally symmetric electromagnetic wave propagation in an isotropic nonlinear medium using a modified finite-difference time-domain general vector…
Interactions of gauge-invariant systems are severely constrained by several consistency requirements. One is the preservation of the number of gauge symmetries, another is causal propagation. For lower-spin fields, the emphasis is usually…
The Doppler effect of light was implemented by interference with a reference wave to infer linear velocities in early manifestations, and more recently lateral and angular velocities with scalar phase structured light. A consequence of the…
We study the propagation of structured optical scalar beams in a spacetime background parameterized by a second-rank symmetric tensor. An analytic expression for the Green's function in a cylindrical coordinate system is obtained for…
We investigate the propagation of Gaussian beams through optical waveguide lattices characterized by correlated non-Hermitian disorder. In the framework of coupled mode theory, we demonstrate how the imaginary part of the refractive index…
A wide class of nonuniformly totally polarized beams is introduced that preserve their transverse polarization pattern during paraxial propagation. They are obtained as suitable combinations of Gaussian modes and find applications in…
In this paper we show that it is possible to structure the longitudinal polarization component of light. We illustrate our approach by demonstrating linked and knotted longitudinal vortex lines acquired upon non-paraxially propagating a…
Light transport in a highly multimode fiber exhibits complex behavior in space, time, frequency and polarization, especially in the presence of mode coupling. The newly developed techniques of spatial wavefront shaping turn out to be highly…
We consider the paraxial model for a nonlinear resonator with a saturable absorber beyond the mean-field limit and develop a method to study the modulational instabilities leading to pattern formation in all three spatial dimensions. For…
For partially coherent light fields with random fluctuations, the intensity distributions and statistics have been proven to be more propagation robust compared with coherent light. However, its full potential in practical applications has…
