We report on theoretical and experimental investigation of azimuthal and longitudinal modes in rolled-up microtubes at telecom wavelengths. These microtubes are fabricated by selectively releasing a coherently strained InGaAs/GaAs bilayer. We apply planar waveguide method and a quasi-potential model to analyze the azimuthal and longitudinal modes in the microtubes near 1550 nm. Then we demonstrate these modes in transmission spectrum by evanescent light coupling. The experimental observations agree well with the calculated results. Surface-scattering-induced mode splitting is also observed in both transmission and reflection spectra at ~1600 nm. The mode splitting is in essence the non-degeneracy of clockwise and counter-clockwise whispering-gallery modes of the microtubes. This study is significant for understanding the physics of modes in microtubes and other microcavities with three-dimensional optical confinement, as well as for potential applications such as microtube-based photonic integrated devices and sensing purposes.

Taking into account phase-polarization interactions is crucial for the formation of spatially structured laser beams. The effects that arise in this context can lead to the modulation of individual field components and the transformation of the overall light field. In this study, we investigate the impact of phase and polarization distributions with radial dependencies in polar coordinates on the longitudinal component of laser beams passing through a transmissive spatial light modulator (SLM) based on twisted nematic liquid crystals.

In this work, we propose and demonstrate an all-polarization-maintaining (PM) random fiber laser (RFL) based on a half-open cavity that can simultaneously generate linearly polarized fundamental modes and higher-order modes. Then a cylindrical vector beam (CVB) of azimuthal polarization is generated by the mode superposition method with mode purity exceeding 93.

Most teleost fish propel themselves with lateral body waves powered by their axial muscles. These muscles also power suction feeding through rapid expansion of the mouth cavity. They consist of muscle segments (myomeres), separated by connective tissue sheets (myosepts).

We present an experiment investigating the rotational Doppler effect using a single trapped ion excited by two copropagating vortex laser beams. The setup isolates the azimuthal gradients of the fields, eliminating longitudinal and curvature effects. We provide a detailed characterization of the phenomenon by deterministically positioning a single ion across the beams and measuring fluorescence spectra with sharp "dark resonances" whose features depend on the angular velocity of the ion and the difference of optical orbital angular momentum between the two beams.

However, traditional polarization optics often only focus on the polarization characteristics in the transverse plane. Here, we demonstrate a new scheme for the generation of longitudinally varied polarization state in terahertz beam using all-silicon metasurface.
