ABSTRACT: We study the formation of large vortex aggregates in a rapidly rotating dilute-gas
Bose-Einstein condensate. When we remove atoms from the rotating condensate with a tightly
focused, resonant laser, the density can be locally suppressed, while fast circulation of a ringshaped superflow around the area of suppressed density is maintained. Thus a giant vortex core
comprising 7 to 60 phase singularities is formed. The giant core is only metastable, and it will
refill with distinguishable single vortices after many rotation cycles. The surprisingly long
lifetime of the core can be attributed to the influence of strong Coriolis forces in the condensate.
In addition we have been able to follow the precession of off-center giant vortices for more than
20 cycles.

AB: 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 provide evidence for a novel optical ratchet potential in practical optical
vortices.

AB: We experimentally investigate the formation of a vector polarization pattern from an
isotropic microcavity laser. It is found that the orthogonal components of the observed pattern
are localized on the geometrical rays. The connection between eigenfunctions and geometrical
rays is analytically constructed by using the SU(2) coherent states. With the analytical function
form, the observed vector pattern is completely reconstructed and the vector vortex lattice is
apparent.

ABSTRACT: Polarization singularities and elliptic stationary points (collectively, elliptic critical
points) were measured experimentally via the complex Stokes field S/sub 1/+iS/sub 2/, where
S/sub 1/ and S/sub 2/ are Stokes parameters. This new, easily implemented method yielded
detailed, high-resolution experimental data for all elliptic critical points. These data confirm with
high precision the elliptic-field topological sign rule, loop rules, and Stokes singularity relations
introduced recently.

ABSTRACT: A laser beam with phase singularities is an interesting object to study in optics and
may have important applications in guiding atoms and molecules. We explore the characteristics
of a singularity in a nondiffracting Bessel beam experimentally by use of a programmable spatial
light modulator with 64-level phase holograms. The diffraction efficiency with 64-level phase
holograms is greatly improved in comparison with that obtained with a binary grating. The
experiments show that the size and deflection angle of the beam can be controlled in real time.
The observations are in agreement with scalar diffraction theory.

ABSTRACT: We present a new Fourier-based exact solution for deterministic phase unwrapping
from experimental maps of wrapped phase in the presence of noise and phase vortices. This
single-step approach has superior performance for images with high phase gradients or
insufficient digital sampling approaching 2 pi /pixel and therefore performs as a fast and
practical solution for the phase-unwrapping problem for experimental applications in applied
optics, physics, and medicine.

ABSTRACT: Elliptical polarization can appear in only monochromatic optical fields. In
polychromatic vector fields the polarization is a Lissajous figure, but in only commensurate
fields do the figures have well-defined shapes; in other fields the shapes are undefined.
Nonetheless, I show that a given paraxial polychromatic vector field has a coherency ellipse field
associated with it that contains polarization singularities and stationary points that are surrogates
for the corresponding critical points of the parent optical field.

ABSTRACT: We demonstrate an experimental scheme that allows the elucidation of the orbital

spectrum is represented in a Laguerre-Gaussian mode base, and the spectral components are
resolved in the frequency domain by exploiting the Doppler frequency shift that is imparted to
rotating light beams.

ABSTRACT: Fundamental and vortex solitons in a two-dimensional optically induced
waveguide array are reported. In the strong localization regime the fundamental soliton is largely
confined to one lattice site whereas the vortex state comprises four fundamental modes
superimposed in a square configuration with a phase structure that is topologically equivalent to
the conventional vortex. However, in the weak localization regime, both the fundamental and the
vortex solitons spread over many lattice sites. We further show that fundamental and the vortex
solitons are stable against small perturbations in the strong localization regime.

ABSTRACT: We report what is to our knowledge the first all-optical detection of the frequency
beats between Gaussian and Laguerre-Gaussian LG/sub 0//sup 1/ modes in their axial
superposition, caused by the rotational Doppler effect. The relation between the observable offaxis optical vortex rotation and the rotational frequency shift of the Laguerre-Gaussian
component is ascertained. The result can be used as a physical basis for recognition of LaguerreGaussian mode spectra along their orbital angular momenta.

ABSTRACT: We study acoustical vortices (AVs) and their connection with optical vortices
(OVs). We show that AVs and OVs have the same properties if the concept of pseudomomentum
is used. Radiation stress and conservation of topological charge are obtained with the
pseudomomentum rule. In a weak nonlinear regime, the conservation of pseudo angular
momentum imposes a linear increase of the topological charge with the harmonic order. This last
result is experimentally verified.

ABSTRACT: Optical stacking of microparticles has been demonstrated earlier using a single
focused Gaussian beam, multiple beams from Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) interference patterns, and
Bessel beams. In this letter, we demonstrate that a single focused LG beam has the ability to
optically stack multiple high-index microparticles around the intensity annular rings of the LG
beam, and thus form a three-dimensional structure. Due to the symmetrically circular shape of
the LG, we have been able to stack particles in a circular manner. Hence we propose that this
technique of stacking can be extended to optical fields of designed shaped such that the stacking
microparticles will be organized according to the shaped of the beam intensity. This is an
alternative method to obtain a desired three-dimensional crystalline structure, where shaping the
optical vortices beam is used instead of using multiple beams.

ABSTRACT: We analyze the coherence properties of a partially coherent field emerging from
two pinholes in an opaque screen and show that the spectral degree of coherence possesses phase
singularities on certain surfaces in the region of superposition. To our knowledge, this is the first
illustration of the singular behavior of the spectral degree of coherence, and the results extend the
field of singular optics to the study of phase singularities of correlation functions.

ABSTRACT: Polarization vortices exist in the focus of a class of vector beams, the lowest order
of which possess full vector symmetry about the axis of propagation of the beam. At high
numerical apertures these beams are known to exhibit large, local, longitudinal fields in the focal
region. At an interface these fields can be many times stronger than the largest available
transverse component and are therefore candidates for a variety of different experiments in
surface physics. The observation of vortex-driven surface second-harmonic generation at smooth
metal and semiconductor surfaces and thin films is reported. By comparing the response to that
of a purely transverse field, we show that the smooth surface responds primarily to the
longitudinal field component.

ABSTRACT: Single-beam optical gradient force traps created by focusing helical modes of light
are known as optical vortices. Modulating the helical pitch of such a mode's wave front yields a
new class of optical traps whose dynamically reconfigurable intensity distributions provide new
opportunities for controlling motion in mesoscopic systems. An implementation of modulated
optical vortices based on the dynamic holographic optical tweezer technique is described.

ABSTRACT: A new mathematical model, described as hollow Gaussian beams (HGBs), is
proposed to describe a dark hollow laser beam (DHB). The area of the dark region across the
HGBs can easily be controlled by proper choice of the beam parameters. Based on the Collins
integral, an analytical propagation formula for the HGBs through a paraxial optical system is
derived. The HGBs also can be expressed as a superposition of a series of Laguerre-Gaussian
modes by use of a polynomial expansion. As a numerical example, the propagation properties of
a DHB in free space are illustrated graphically. The HGBs provide a convenient and powerful
way to describe and treat the propagation of DHBs and can be used conveniently to analyze
atoms manipulated with a DHB.
