Free-space optical communication using the orbital angular momentum (OAM) of light has garnered significant interest lately due to the potentially vast bandwidth intrinsic to the infinite Hilbert space of OAM modes. Unfortunately, OAM light…
We observe a new regime of coherent XUV radiation generation in noble gases induced by femtosecond pulses at very high intensities. This XUV emission has both a reduced divergence and spectral width as compared to high-order harmonic…
Recently, photons have been observed to possess transverse orbital angular momentum (OAM); however, it is unclear as whether they can hold a transverse OAM higher than 1. Here, we theoretically and experimentally demonstrate that high-order…
High-order harmonic generation (HHG) in gases leads to short-pulse extreme ultraviolet (XUV) radiation useful in a number of applications, for example, attosecond science and nanoscale imaging. However, this process depends on many…
Coherent light with orbital angular momentum (OAM) is of great interest, and more recently, OAM light generation by coupling a relativistic electron beam with a Gaussian mode laser pulse at the high harmonics of a helical undulator has been…
High-order harmonic generation (HHG) from atoms is a coherent light source that opens up attosecond physics, but it is the application of HHG to solids that brings much of excitement for the last decade. Here we report a completely new kind…
In this work using three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations and analytical considerations we demonstrate intense high-order plasma surface harmonics carrying a time-varying orbital angular momentum (OAM) -- the self-torque. We show…
High harmonic generation (HHG) is an extreme nonlinear process where intense pulses of light drive matter to emit high harmonics of the driving frequency, reaching the extreme ultraviolet (XUV) and x-ray spectral ranges. So far, the HHG…
We report on the generation of flower (wheel) modes, which manifest coupled orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes, from a vortex pumped optical parametric oscillator simply by employing a pump source with a short temporal coherence time.…
High harmonics generation (HHG) of coherent extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation enables ultrafast pump-probe spectroscopy with attosecond-scale timing resolutions. Yet beam control of generated EUV radiation remains a major challenge for…
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)…
In light optics, beams with orbital angular momentum (OAM) can be produced by employing a properly-tuned two-cylinder-lens arrangement, also called $\pi$/2 mode converter. It is not possible to convey this concept directly to the beam in an…
Symmetries and conservation laws of energy, linear momentum and angular momentum play a central role in physics, in particular in nonlinear optics. Recently, light fields with non trivial topology, such as polarization M\"obius strips or…
High-harmonic generation is one of the most extreme nonlinear-optical processes observed to date. By focusing an intense laser pulse into a gas, the light-atom interaction that occurs during the process of ionising the atoms results in the…
Novel forms of beam generation and propagation based on structured light and orbital angular momentum (OAM) have gained significant interest over the past several years. Indeed, dynamic OAM can manifest at a given propagation distance in…
The generation of optical beams with multiple, mutually-coherent orbital-angular-momentum (OAM) modes using phase gratings is analyzed from the perspective of energy distribution and radial mode composition. We show that phase gratings…
Spatial mode (de)multiplexing of orbital angular momentum (OAM) beams is a promising solution to address future bandwidth issues, but the rapidly increasing divergence with the mode order severely limits the practically addressable number…
The orbital angular momentum (OAM) of light is a versatile degree of freedom with transformative impact across optical communication, imaging, and micromanipulation. These applications have motivated a growing demand for compact,…
We demonstrated that by using a pump field with non-zero orbital angular momentum (OAM) in the polarization self-rotation squeezing process it is possible to generate a squeezed vacuum optical field with the matching OAM. We found a similar…
The generation and measurement of optical vortex (OV) are the basis for a variety of related applications. However, the special case of high-order OVs has not been sufficient addressed yet. Herein, a generation and measurement method of…
