Research on spatially-structured light has seen an explosion in activity over the past decades, powered by technological advances for generating such light, and driven by questions of fundamental science as well as engineering applications. In this review we highlight work on the interaction of vector light fields with atoms, and matter in general. This vibrant research area explores the full potential of light, with clear benefits for classical as well as quantum applications.
Optical aberrations have been studied for centuries, placing fundamental limits on the achievable resolution in focusing and imaging. In the context of structured light, the spatial pattern is distorted in amplitude and phase, often arising from opti
The study of light propagation has been a cornerstone of progress in physics and technology. Recently, advances in control and shaping of light have created significant interest in the propagation of complex structures of light -- particularly under
The structural versatility of light underpins an outstanding collection of optical phenomena where both geometrical and topological states of light can dictate how matter will respond or display. Light possesses multiple degrees of freedom such as am
Coherent light-matter interactions have recently extended their applications to the ultrafast control of magnetization in solids. An important but unrealized technique is the manipulation of magnetization vector motion to make it follow an arbitraril
We propose the concept of helicity maximization applicable to structured light and obtain a universal rela-tion for the maximum of helicity density at a given field energy density. We further demonstrate that us-ing structured light with maximized he
