Vortices are screw phase dislocations associated with helicoidal wave-fronts. In nonlinear optics, vortices arise as singular solutions to the phase-intensity equations of geometric optics. They exist for a general class of nonlinear response functions. In this sense, vortices possess a universal character. Analysis of geometric optics equations on the hodograph plane leads to deformed vortex type solutions that are sensitive to the form of the nonlinearity. The case of a Kerr type nonlinear response is discussed as a specific example.

Electron vortex beams were only recently discovered and their potential as a probe for magnetism in materials was shown. Here we demonstrate a new method to produce electron vortex beams with a diameter of less than 1.2 AA. This unique way to prepare
free electrons to a state resembling atomic orbitals is fascinating from a fundamental physics point of view and opens the road for magnetic mapping with atomic resolution in an electron microscope.
We consider self-trapping of topological modes governed by the one- and two-dimensional (1D and 2D) nonlinear-Schrodinger/Gross-Pitaevskii equation with effective single- and double-well (DW) nonlinear potentials induced by spatial modulation of the
local strength of the self-defocusing nonlinearity. This setting, which may be implemented in optics and Bose-Einstein condensates, aims to extend previous studies, which dealt with single-well nonlinear potentials. In the 1D setting, we find several types of symmetric, asymmetric and antisymmetric states, focusing on scenarios of the spontaneous symmetry breaking. The single-well model is extended by including rocking motion of the well, which gives rise to Rabi oscillations between the fundamental and dipole modes. Analysis of the 2D single-well setting gives rise to stable modes in the form of ordinary dipoles, vortex-antivortex dipoles (VADs), and vortex triangles (VTs), which may be considered as produced by spontaneous breaking of the axial symmetry. The consideration of the DW configuration in 2D reveals diverse types of modes built of components trapped in the two wells, which may be fundamental states and vortices with topological charges m = 1 and 2, as well as VADs (with m = 0) and VTs (with m = 2).
Vortex, the winding of a vector field in two dimensions, has its core the field singularity and its topological charge defined by the quantized winding angle of the vector field. Vortices are one of the most fundamental topological excitations in nat
ure, widely known in hair whorls as the winding of hair strings, in fluid dynamics as the winding of velocities, in angular-momentum beams as the winding of phase angle and in superconductors and superfluids as the winding of order parameters. Nevertheless, vortices have hardly been observed other than those in the real space. Although band degeneracies, such as Dirac cones, can be viewed as momentum-space vortices in their mathematical structures, there lacks a well-defined physical observable whose winding number is an arbitrary signed integer. Here, we experimentally observed momentum-space vortices as the winding of far-field polarization vectors in the Brillouin zone (BZ) of periodic plasmonic structures. Using a home-made polarization-resolved momentum-space imaging spectroscopy, we completely map out the dispersion, lifetime and polarization of all radiative states at the visible wavelengths. The momentum space vortices were experimentally identified by their winding patterns in the polarization-resolved iso-frequency contours and their diverging radiative quality factors. Such polarization vortices can exist robustly on any periodic systems of vectorial fields, while they are not captured by the existing topological band theory developed for scaler fields. This work opens up a promising avenue for exploring topological photonics in the momentum space, studying bound states in continuum (BICs), as well as for rendering and steering vector beams and designing high-Q plasmonic resonances.
The splitting of a single optical vortex into four separate ones in a singular beam is theoretically and experimentally described for the propagation of light obliquely through a uniaxial crystal. Also we found the condition under which the new-born
vortices in each four individual beams propagate independently without dislocation reactions and have different locations in all beams for any crystal lengths.
Identifying and imaging spin textures of ever more complex magnetic structures has become a major challenge in the past decade, especially at ultrashort timescales. Most of current approaches are based on the analysis of their polarization and magnet
ization-dependent reflectivities. Based on our joint publication XXX XX XXXXXX, we introduce a different concept, centered on the coupling of magnetic structures with light beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM). Upon reflection by a magnetic vortex, an incoming beam with a unique value $ell$ of OAM gets enriched in the neighboring OAM modes $ellpm 1$. It results in anisotropic far-field images, which are identified as a Magnetic Helicoidal Dichroism (MHD) signal. Their analysis allow to retrieve the complex magneto-optical constants with excellent precision. This method, which does not require any polarization-resolved analysis, is promising for a quick identification of spin textures, including with attosecond to femtosecond time resolutions.
