We experimentally demonstrate the generation of customized perfect Laguerre-Gaussian (PLG) beams whose intensity maxima localized around any desired curves. The principle is to act appropriate algebraic functions on the angular spectra of…
We analyze the paraxial beam transformation upon reflection and refraction at a plane boundary. In contrast to the usual approach dealing with the beam angular spectrum, we apply the continuity conditions to explicit spatial representations…
We present a study of geometric phases in classical wave and polarisation optics using the basic mathematical framework of quantum mechanics. Important physical situations taken from scalar wave optics, pure polarisation optics, and the…
A flexible and efficient method for fully vectorial modal analysis of 3D dielectric optical waveguides with arbitrary 2D cross-sections is proposed. The technique is based on expansion of each modal component in some a priori defined…
Electromagnetic waves possessing orbital angular momentum (OAM) are powerful tools for applications in optical communications, new quantum technologies and optical tweezers. Recently, they have attracted growing interest since they can be…
We investigate, theoretically and experimentally, the evolution of a paraxial beam propagating in free space when its initial transverse structure is characterized by an asymmetric Gaussian modulation combined with an entire function.…
We provide a vivid demonstration of the mechanical effect of transverse spin momentum in an optical beam in free space. This component of the Poynting momentum was previously thought to be virtual, and unmeasurable. Here, its effect is…
When a phase singularity is suddenly imprinted on the axis of an ordinary Gaussian beam, an optical vortex appears and starts to grow radially, by effect of diffraction. This radial growth and the subsequent evolution of the optical vortex…
Bessel beams generated with non-ideal axicons are affected by aberrations. We introduce a method to retrieve the complex amplitude of a Bessel beam from intensity measurements alone, and then use this information to correct the wavefront…
We present a general method which can be used for geometrical and physical interpretation of an arbitrary spacetime in four or any higher number of dimensions. It is based on the systematic analysis of relative motion of free test…
Assuming a static and spherically symmetric spacetime, we propose a novel concept of the total deflection angle of a light ray. The concept is defined by the difference between the sum of internal angles of two triangles; one of the…
We present an analytical and numerical investigation of double-slit diffraction under coherent illumination by three plane waves: one normally incident and two symmetrically angled at plus/minus theta. By imposing an edge-zero condition on…
We consider the behavior of the OPE density $c(\Delta,\ell)$ for conformal four-point functions in the flat-space limit where all scaling dimensions become large. We find evidence that the density reduces to the partial waves $f_\ell(s)$ of…
We investigate how the orbital angular momentum (OAM) of a paraxial light beam is affected upon reflection at a planar interface. Theoretically, the unavoidable angular spread of the (paraxial) beam leads to OAM sidebands which are found to…
In this paper we consider geometrical two-photon optics of Bessel-Gaussian modes generated in spontaneous parametric down-conversion of a Gaussian pump beam. We provide a general theoretical expression for the orbital angular momentum (OAM)…
We propose a scheme to controllably convert the wavefront of an arbitrary incident beam into a helical one by compact transformation slabs, thus enabling the output beam to carry desirable orbital angular momentum (OAM). First, based on…
In the paper a solution for equilibrium configurations of an elastic beam subject to three points bending is given in terms of Jacobi elliptical functions. General equations are derived and the domain of solution is established. Several…
In the FIRST PART we present simple introductions to gaussian and Bessel waves, and to the Localized Waves (LW), pulses or beams, showing the important properties of the latter, and their applications whenever a role is played by a…
We demonstrate an efficient method to compute the strong-gravitational-lensing deflection angle and magnification for any elliptical surface-density profile. This method solves a numerical hurdle in lens modelling that has lacked a general…
Explicit and compact expressions describing the reflection and the transmission of a Gaussian beam by anisotropic parallel plates are given. Multiple reflections inside the plate are taken into account as well as arbitrary optical axis…
