Article Abstract
We predict the existence of spatial-spectral vortex solitons in one-dimensional periodic waveguide arrays with quadratic nonlinear response. In such vortices the energy flow forms a closed loop through the simultaneous effects of phase gradients at the fundamental frequency and second-harmonic fields and the parametric frequency conversion between the spectral components. The linear stability analysis shows that such modes are stable in a broad parameter region.

Effect of optical spatial coherence on localized spin angular momentum density in tightly focused light [Invited].
J Opt Soc Am A Opt Image Sci Vis

Optical coherence is one of the most fundamental characteristics of light and has been viewed as a powerful tool for governing the spatial, spectral, and temporal statistical properties of optical fields during light-matter interactions. In this work, we use the optical coherence theory developed by Emil Wolf as well as the Richards-Wolf's vectorial diffraction method to numerically study the effect of optical coherence on the localized spin density of a tightly focused partially coherent vector beam. We find that both the transverse spin and longitudinal spin, with the former induced by the out-of-phase longitudinal field generated during strong light focusing and the latter induced by the vortex phase in the incident beam, are closely related to the optical coherence of the incident beam, i.

A comprehensive theoretical study on the generation of a 2D orthogonal lattice of optical beams based on the near-field diffraction and Talbot effect is presented. First we investigate the near-field diffraction of an optical beam with a finite lateral extension from an infinite 2D orthogonal grating. It is shown that the resulting diffraction patterns over the Talbot planes depend on the following parameters: the period and opening ratio (OR) of the grating, wavelength and spatial spectral bandwidth of the incident beam, and the propagation distance.
