Journal ArticleDOI
Spin-to-orbital conversion of the angular momentum of light and its classical and quantum applications
Lorenzo Marrucci,Ebrahim Karimi,Sergei Slussarenko,Bruno Piccirillo,Enrico Santamato,Eleonora Nagali,Fabio Sciarrino +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the development of the q-plate idea and some of the most significant results that have originated from it, and briefly touch on many other related findings concerning the interaction of the spin and orbital angular momentum of light.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polarization pattern of vector vortex beams generated by q-plates with different topological charges
Filippo Cardano,Ebrahim Karimi,Sergei Slussarenko,Lorenzo Marrucci,Corrado de Lisio,Enrico Santamato +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the polarization topology of the vector beams emerging from a patterned birefringent liquid crystal plate with a topological charge q at its center (q-plate) is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantum Information Transfer from Spin to Orbital Angular Momentum of Photons
Eleonora Nagali,Fabio Sciarrino,Francesco De Martini,Francesco De Martini,Lorenzo Marrucci,Bruno Piccirillo,Ebrahim Karimi,Enrico Santamato +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that two-photon quantum correlations such as those resulting from coalescence interference can be successfully transferred into the OAM degree of freedom.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Using a recently developed method for the three-dimensional nanotomography of optical vector fields, this work fully reconstructs the light polarization structure in the focal region, confirming the appearance of Möbius polarization structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
