Journal ArticleDOI
Optical spin-to-orbital angular momentum conversion in inhomogeneous anisotropic media
TL;DR: An optical process in which the spin angular momentum carried by a circularly polarized light beam is converted into orbital angular momentum, leading to the generation of helical modes with a wave-front helicity controlled by the input polarization is demonstrated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the key fields within structured light from the perspective of experts in those areas, providing insight into the current state and the challenges their respective fields face, as well as the exciting prospects for the future that are yet to be realized.
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
Controlled generation of higher-order Poincaré sphere beams from a laser
Darryl Naidoo,Filippus S. Roux,Filippus S. Roux,Angela Dudley,Angela Dudley,Igor A. Litvin,Bruno Piccirillo,Lorenzo Marrucci,Andrew Forbes +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the angular momentum of light can be described by positions on a higher-order Poincare sphere, where superpositions of spin and orbital angular momentum states give rise to laser beams that have many applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Free-space quantum key distribution by rotation-invariant twisted photons.
Giuseppe Vallone,Vincenzo D'Ambrosio,Anna Sponselli,Sergei Slussarenko,Lorenzo Marrucci,Fabio Sciarrino,Paolo Villoresi +6 more
TL;DR: This work reports the experimental demonstration of a link for free-space quantum communication with OAM operating over a distance of 210 m, and implements quantum key distribution, a protocol exploiting the features of quantum mechanics to guarantee unconditional security in cryptographic communication.
