چکیده
We generate experimentally optical bottle beams from incoherent double-charge white-light vortices, and show that their parameters can be efficiently controlled by varying the beam focusing conditions.

Spatial coherence singularities and incoherent vortex solitons
We study spatially localized optical vortices created by self-trapping of partially incoherent light with a phase dislocation in a biased photorefractive crystal. In contrast to a decay of coherent self-trapped vortex beams due to the azimuthal modulational instability, the incoherent vortices are stabilized for large values of the spatial incoherence; this was confirmed by experiment. We analy...
متن کاملFocusing and correlation properties of white-light optical vortices.
We generate double-charge white-light optical vortices by sending a circularly polarized partially incoherent light through an uniaxial crystal. We show that the generated polichromatic vortices are structurally stable, and their correlation properties can be altered by the beam focusing, resulting in changes of the vortex core visibility.
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...
متن کاملTrapping and rotating microparticles and bacteria with moiré-based optical propelling beams
We propose and demonstrate trapping and rotation of microparticles and biological samples with a moiré-based rotating optical tweezers. We show that polystyrene beads, as well as Escherichia coli cells, can be rotated with ease, while the speed and direction of rotation are fully controllable by a computer, obviating mechanical movement or phase-sensitive interference. Furthermore, we demonstra...
متن کاملSpatial correlation vortices in partially coherent light: theory
Coherent optical beams may contain optical vortices that are characterized by a dark core and a well-defined azimuthally harmonic phase.1,2 In contrast, different points in a spatially incoherent beam are uncorrelated, and the phase structure of an optical vortex is ill defined. In the transitional regime of partially coherent light, one should take the statistical properties of light into acco...
