“…We demonstrated that a non-trivial density of OAM was transferred from the pumping HM-G beam to the generated CBL. Our findings complement studies of nonlinear processes, where the local density of angular momentum of light is connected to a spatially dependent polarization [27]. The results that we present here add two tools to experiments of this kind: conversion of light with a quasi-propagation invariant structure and several dislocation lines; and an extraordinary control over the properties of the generated light based on manipulating the atomic states involved in the non-linear process.…”

“…It has been subsequently employed to perform OAM quantum teleportation, tripartite entanglement, and quantum dense coding in photon pairs with similar frequencies [40,41,42]. Therefore, our contribution may well be the key that opens access toward implementing these applications with differently colored, quantum-correlated light carrying several OAM channels in addition to remote preparation of highly structured optical states [27].…”

Frequency Conversion of Optical Vortex Arrays Through Four-Wave Mixing in Hot Atomic Gases

Arrays of multiple vortices were transferred from infrared to the blue region of the optical spectrum. This demonstration was achieved by inducing four-wave mixing in an atomic gas with a Gaussian beam and a quasi-invariant propagation beam of the Mathieu type. The latter structure was analyzed in the Fourier space for the pump and the generated light. In both cases, the phase structure can be written with a compact mathematical expression by using the same parameters within experimental error bars. A Michelson–Morley interferometer was used to confirm that a phase singularity was present at each site as predicted by the theory. These studies add to the available control over orbital angular momentum in photons generated by atoms, which has a broad span of applications in quantum and classical information management.

“…Generally, the OAM beam has a hollow ring structure in intensity distribution and a helical phase structure, which is described by expilφ, where φ is the azimuthal angle and l corresponds to the topological charge (TC) of the corresponding OAM [12][13][14] . Owing to these unique physical properties, the OAM beam holds promising prospects both in photonic technologies and physical study [15,16] . Accordingly, the technique of generating the OAM beam has inspired researchers to develop it intensively [14,[17][18][19][20][21] .…”

The high-power mode-programmable orbital angular momentum (OAM) beam has attracted significant attention in a wide range of applications, such as long-distance optical communication, nonlinear frequency conversion, and beam shaping. Coherent beam combining (CBC) of an optical phased array (OPA) can offer a promising solution for both generating the high-power OAM beam and rapidly switching the OAM modes. However, achieving real-time phase noise locking and formation of desired phase structures in a high-power CBC system faces significant challenges. Here, an internal phase-sensing technique was utilized to generate the high-power OAM beam, which effectively mitigated thermal effects and eliminated the need for large optical devices. An OPA with six elements was employed for experimental demonstration. The first effective generation of over 1.5 kW mode-programmable OAM beam in a continuous-wave domain was presented. Moreover, the results demonstrated that the generated OAM beam could be modulated with multiple dimensions. The topological charge can be switched in real time from −1 to −2. Notably, this OAM beam emitter could function as an OAM beam copier by easily transforming a single OAM beam into an OAM beam array. More importantly, a comprehensive analysis was conducted on power scaling, mode switching speed, and expansion of OAM modes. Additionally, the system's compact design enabled it to function as a packageable OAM beam emitter. Owing to the advantages of having high power and programmable modes with multiple dimension modulation in phase structures and intensity distribution, this work can pave the way for producing high-power structured light beams and advancing their applications.

“…For example, imprinting an azimuthally varying phase profile creates orbital angular momentum (OAM) states that possesses a helical wavefront and carry quantized OAM (Bazhenov et al, 1990 ; Allen et al, 1992 ); imprinting a cubic phase profile creates the Airy beams that possess a curved trajectory in free space and self-healing property whereby the beam appears to reconstruct itself in the presence of obstacles (Berry and Balazs, 1979 ); and imprinting a radial phase prepares the “non-diffractive” Bessel beams (Indebetouw, 1989 ). The enabling properties of structured light beams and the access to new degrees of freedom have brought forth a wide range of impactful applications in optical phenomenology and microscopy, high-bandwidth communication, manipulation of matter, and quantum science (Mair et al, 2001 ; Andersen et al, 2006 ; Marrucci et al, 2006 , 2011 ; Maurer et al, 2007 ; Padgett and Bowman, 2011 ; Wang et al, 2012 ; Ritsch-Marte, 2017 ; Sarenac et al, 2018 ; Schwarz et al, 2020 ; Cameron et al, 2021 ).…”

The dichroic macular pigment in the Henle fiber layer in the fovea enables humans to perceive entoptic phenomena when viewing polarized blue light. In the standard case of linearly polarized stimuli, a faint bowtie-like pattern known as the Haidinger's brush appears in the central point of fixation. As the shape and clarity of the perceived signal is directly related to the health of the macula, Haidinger's brush has been used as a diagnostic marker in studies of early stage macular degeneration and central field visual dysfunction. However, due to the weak nature of the perceived signal the perception of the Haidinger's brush has not been integrated with modern clinical methods. Recent attempts have been made to increase the strength of the perceived signal by employing structured light with spatially varying polarization profiles. Here we review the advancements with the structured light stimuli and describe the current challenges and future prospects.
