Diffusion-induced decoherence of stored optical vortices
We study the coherence properties of optical vortices stored in atomic ensembles. In the presence of thermal diffusion, the topological nature of stored optical vortices is found not to guarantee slow decoherence. Instead the stored vortex state’s decoherence is surprisingly larger than the stored Gaussian mode. Furthermore, calculation of the coherence factor shows that the center of the store...
متن کاملStructure of optical vortices.
Helical modes of light can be focused into toroidal optical traps known as optical vortices, which are capable of localizing and applying torques to small volumes of matter. Measurements of optical vortices created with the dynamic holographic optical tweezer technique reveal an unsuspected dependence of their structure and angular momentum flux on their helicity. These measurements also provid...
متن کاملVitality of optical vortices
Optical vortices are always created or annihilated in pairs with opposite topological charges. However, the presence of such a vortex dipole does not directly indicate whether they are associated with a creation or an annihilation event. Here we propose a method to distinguish between vortex dipoles that have just been created and those that are about to be annihilated. We use first and second ...
متن کاملIncidence-angle selection and spatial reshaping of terahertz pulses in optical tunneling.
We present spatially resolved measurements of the electric field of terahertz pulses undergoing optical tunneling that show strong pulse reshaping in both time and space. This reshaping is shown to be a result of frequency and incidence-angle filtering of the complex amplitude of the plane-wave basis set that makes up the pulse. This filtering leads to spreading of the pulse in the time and spa...
متن کاملOptical Vortices and Vortex Solitons
Optical vortices are phase singularities nested in electromagnetic waves that constitute a fascinating source of phenomena in the physics of light and display deep similarities to their close relatives, quantized vortices in superfluids and Bose-Einstein condensates. We present a brief overview of the major advances in the study of optical vortices in different types of nonlinear media, with em...
