TL;DR: In this article, a pseudo-high-order GVLVS with a two-humped pulse along one polarization and a single-hump pulse along the orthogonal polarization was obtained.
Abstract: Manipulation of group-velocity-locked vector solitons (GVLVSs) is numerically proposed and experimentally demonstrated. A pseudo-high-order GVLVS could be generated from a fundamental GVLVS with the help of a polarization-resolved system. Specifically, a pseudo-high-order GVLVS with a two-humped pulse along one polarization and a single-humped pulse along the orthogonal polarization could be obtained. The phase difference between the two humps could be 180°.

TL;DR: The spiral plAsmonic lens provides efficient plasmonic focusing while it eliminates the requirement of centering the incident beam to the plasMonic lens, making it suitable for full Stokes parameter polarimetric imaging applications.
Abstract: A simple spiral plasmonic lens is studied both analytically and numerically. Owing to the geometric phase effect, a spiral plasmonic lens focuses the left-hand and right-hand circular polarizations into spatially separated plasmonic fields. Such a spatial multiplexing of the field distribution is utilized in miniature circular polarization analyzer design. A circular polarization extinction ratio better than 100 is obtainable with a device size as small as 4lambda(spp). The spiral plasmonic lens provides efficient plasmonic focusing while it eliminates the requirement of centering the incident beam to the plasmonic lens, making it suitable for full Stokes parameter polarimetric imaging applications.

TL;DR: It is shown that an evolving geometric phase induces a frequency shift and this effect is employed to offset the frequency of a laser beam.
Abstract: We show that an evolving geometric phase induces a frequency shift. We report an optical experiment where we employ this effect to offset the frequency of a laser beam.
