The promise of perfect imaging in the optical domain, where light can be imaged without aberrations and with ultra-high resolution, could revolutionize technology and nanofabrication [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. Recently it has been shown…

We investigate the collective dynamics of nonlinearly interacting modes in multimode photonic settings with long-range couplings. To this end, we have established a connection with the theory of spin networks. The emerging "photonic spins"…

Rapidly growing demands for high-performance computing, powerful data processing systems, and big data necessitate the advent of novel optical devices to perform demanding computing processes effectively. Due to its unprecedented growth in…

A double covering of the proper orthochronous Lorentz group is understood as a complexification of the special unimodular group of second order (a double covering of the 3-dimensional rotation group). In virtue of such an interpretation the…

Over 140 million people worldwide and over 45 million people in the United States wear contact lenses; it is estimated that 12%-27.4% contact lens users stop wearing them due to discomfort. Contact lens mechanical interactions with the…

We present a simple prescription for the rotation of polarization produced by a relativistically moving gravitational lens, applicable to arbitrary deflection angle and arbitrary velocity of the lens. When geometric optics is applicable,…

In the last decades unprecedented progress in the manipulation of spin angular momentum (SAM) and orbital angular momentum (OAM) of light has been achieved, enabling a number of applications ranging from classical and quantum communication,…

The derivation of a function is a fundamental tool for solving problems in calculus. Consequently, the motivations for investigating physical systems capable of performing this task are numerous. Furthermore, the potential to develop an…

The Euclidean algorithm in algebra is applied to a class of gravitational lenses for which the lens equation consists of any set of coupled polynomial equations in the image position. In general, this algorithm allows us to reduce an…

Conical refraction occurs when a beam of light travels through an appropriately cut biaxial crystal. By focussing the conically refracted beam through a high numerical aperture microscope objective, conical refraction optical tweezers can…

Wavefront shaping has revolutionized the concepts of optical imaging and focusing. Contrary to what was believed, strong scattering in the optical paths can be exploited in favor of light focusing through turbid media and ultimately improve…

We study the phase transition of a gas of Rb atoms to quantum degeneracy in the combined potential of a harmonically confining magnetic trap and the periodic potential of an optical lattice. For high optical lattice potentials we observe a…

For the light ray transform on globally hyperbolic Lorentzian manifolds of dimension $n+1 \geq 3$ acting on compactly supported distributions, we show that the Schwartz kernel of the normal operator is a paired Lagrangian distribution with…

Optical sections of the cornea are obtained by illumination with a collimated beam expanded in a fan shape by a small rotary cylindrical lens. The light diffused from the cornea is observed by two cameras and processed in order to yield the…

In strong gravitational lens systems, the light bending is usually dominated by one main galaxy, but may be affected by other mass along the line of sight (LOS). Shear and convergence can be used to approximate the contributions from less…

Auxiliary nanostructures introduce additional flexibility into optomechanical manipulation schemes. Metamaterials and metasurfaces capable to control electromagnetic interactions at the near-field regions are especially beneficial for…

Carefully designed nanostructures can inspire new type of optomechanical interactions and allow surpassing limitations set by classical diffractive optical elements. Apart from strong near-field localization, nanostructured environment…

The Laplace equation in the two-dimensional Euclidean plane is considered in the context of the inverse stereographic projection. The Lie algebra of the conformal group as the symmetry group of the Laplace equation can be represented solely…
