New microscopy technique based on position localization of scattering particles.

We introduce the Holographic - Single Scatterer Localization Microscopy in which we combine dynamical laser speckle illumination with centroid localization of backscattered light spots in order to localize isolated scattering particles. The reconstructed centroid images show very accurate particle localization, with precision much better than the width of diffraction-limited image of the particles recorded by the CCD. Furthermore, the method provides an improved resolution in distinguishing two very close scattering objects compared to the standard laser scanning techniques and can be assimilated to a confocal technique in the ability of light background rejection in three-dimensional disposition of scattering objects.

Spin-to-orbital angular momentum conversion in dielectric metasurfaces: erratum.

We would like to clarify our paper [Opt. Express25, 377 (2017)] abstract sentence "These beams carry orbital angular momentum proportional to the number of intertwined helices constituting the wavefront."

Spin-to-orbital angular momentum conversion in dielectric metasurfaces.

Vortex beams are characterized by a helical wavefront and a phase singularity point on the propagation axis that results in a doughnut-like intensity profile. These beams carry orbital angular momentum proportional to the number of intertwined helices constituting the wavefront. Vortex beams have many applications in optics, such as optical trapping, quantum optics and microscopy.
