Topological structures of electromagnetic fields could give access to nontrivial light-matter interactions and additional degrees of freedom for information and energy transfer. A characteristic example of such electromagnetic excitations are space-time non-separable single-cycle pulses, the exact solutions of Maxwell equation of toroidal topology predicted by Hellwarth and Nouchi in 1996 and recently observed experimentally. Here we introduce a new family of electromagnetic excitation of toroidal topology with increasing complexity in which the Hellwarth-Nouchi pulse is just the simplest member. The electromagnetic excitations of the new family can be parametrised by a single real number and exhibit skyrmionic structures of various orders. They feature multiple singularities in the electromagnetic and Poynting vector fields are accompanied by the fractal-like distributions of energy backflow. The generalized family of toroidal electromagnetic excitation with salient topologies are of interest for transient light-matter interactions, ultrafast optics, spectroscopy, and toroidal electrodynamics.

Electromagnetic pulses are typically treated as space-time (or space-frequency) separable solutions of Maxwells equations, where spatial and temporal (spectral) dependence can be treated separately. In contrast to this traditional viewpoint, recent a
dvances in structured light and topological optics have highlighted the non-trivial wave-matter interactions of pulses with complex topology and space-time non-separable structure, as well as their potential for energy and information transfer. A characteristic example of such a pulse is the Flying Doughnut (FD), a space-time non-separable toroidal few-cycle pulse with links to toroidal and non-radiating (anapole) excitations in matter. Here, we propose a quantum-mechanics-inspired methodology for the characterization of space-time non-separability in structured pulses. In analogy to the non-separability of entangled quantum systems, we introduce the concept of space-spectrum entangled states to describe the space-time non-separability of classical electromagnetic pulses and develop a method to reconstruct the corresponding density matrix by state tomography. We apply our method to the FD pulse and obtain the corresponding fidelity, concurrence, and entanglement of formation. We demonstrate that such properties dug out from quantum mechanics quantitatively characterize the evolution of the general spatiotemporal structured pulse upon propagation.
The method of Doppler - free comb - spectroscopy for dipole transitions was proposed. The calculations for susceptibility spectrum for moving two-level atoms driving by strong counter propagating combs have been done. The used theoretical method base
d on the Fourier expansion of the components of density matrix on two rows on kv (v-velocity of group of atoms, k-projection of wave vector) and {Omega} (frequency between comb components). For testing of validity of this method the direct numerical integration was done. The narrow peaks with homogeneous width arise on the background of Doppler counter. The contrast of these peaks is large for largest amplitudes of comb-components. Power broadening is increasing with increase of field amplitudes. The spectral range of absorption spectrum is determined by the spectral range of comb generator and all homogeneous lines arise simultaneously. The spectral resolution is determined by the width of homogeneously-broadening lines. The physical nature of narrow peaks is in the existence of multi-photon transitions between manifolds of quasi-energy levels arising for different groups of atoms moving with velocities that satisfy to the resonant conditions 2kv= (n+l){Omega}, where n, l - are integers and {Omega} - frequency difference between comb teeth.
We investigate propagation of light pulses in photonic crystals in the vicinity of the zero-diffraction point. We show that Gaussian pulses due to nonzero width of their spectrum spread weakly in space and time during the propagation. We also find th
e family of nonspreading pulses, propagating invariantly in the vicinity of the zero diffraction point of photonic crystals.
A two-level medium, described by the Maxwell-Bloch (MB) system, is engraved by establishing a standing cavity wave with a linearly polarized electromagnetic field that drives the medium on both ends. A light pulse, polarized along the other direction
, then scatters the medium and couples to the cavity standing wave by means of the population inversion density variations. We demonstrate that control of the applied amplitudes of the grating field allows to stop the light pulse and to make it move backward (eventually to drive it freely). A simplified limit model of the MB system with variable boundary driving is obtained as a discrete nonlinear Schroedinger equation with tunable external potential. It reproduces qualitatively the dynamics of the driven light pulse.
We give an exact self-consistent operator description of the spin and orbital angular momenta, position, and spin-orbit interactions of nonparaxial light in free space. Both quantum-operator formalism and classical energy-flow approach are presented.
We apply the general theory to symmetric and asymmetric Bessel beams exhibiting spin- and orbital-dependent intensity profiles. The exact wave solutions are clearly interpreted in terms of the Berry phases, quantization of caustics, and Hall effects of light, which can be readily observed experimentally.
