We report direct measurements of the Pancharatnam-Berry (PB) phase in mode transformations on a hybrid-order Poincaré sphere. This geometric phase arises when the vector vortex states undergo a cyclic transformation over a closed circuit on a hybrid-order Poincaré sphere. The measured PB phase is proportional to the solid angle of the closed circuit, as well as to the variation of the total angular momenta between north and south poles. More importantly, a zero PB phase has been demonstrated, despite the vector vortex states taken through a closed circuit on the hybrid-order Poincaré sphere. This interesting phenomenon can be explained as being due to the zero Berry curvature.

Article Synopsis
- The paper presents a new hybrid-order hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin finite element method (HDG-FEM) for calculating electric fields in transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), demonstrating its advantages over traditional continuous Galerkin finite element method (CG-FEM).
- The study shows that HDG-FEM produces lower calculation errors for electric fields in thin layers of head models while maintaining competitive computational costs, particularly when handling complex parameter changes.
- By transforming the three-dimensional TMS problem into a two-dimensional one, HDG-FEM significantly reduces computational complexity and increases accuracy, positioning it as a promising alternative for TMS computations.

Hybrid integration of solid-state quantum emitters (QEs) into nanophotonic structures opens enticing perspectives for exploiting multiple degrees of freedom of single-photon sources for on-chip quantum photonic applications. However, the state-of-the-art single-photon sources are mostly limited to two-level states or scalar vortex beams. Direct generation of high-dimensional structured single photons remains challenging, being still in its infancy.

We investigate a hybrid-order Weyl semimetal (HOWS) constructed by stacking the two-dimensional kagome lattice with staggered magnetic flux. By adjusting the magnitude of flux, higher-order topological phases are tunably intertwined with the first-order topological Chern insulators, which is governed by the evolution of Weyl points. Meanwhile the surface Fermi arcs undergo topological Lifshitz transition.

The scientific community studies tight focusing of radially and azimuthally-polarized vector beams as it is a versatile solution for many applications. We offer a new method to produce tight focusing that ensures a more uniform intensity profile in multiple dimensions, providing a more versatile and stable solution. We manipulate the polarization of the radially and azimuthally polarized vector beams to find an optimal operating point.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFVector vortex beams (VVBs) have attracted extensive attention due to their unique properties and their wide applications in fields such as optical manipulation and optical imaging. However, the wavefronts of the vector vortex beams are highly scrambled when they encounter highly scattering media (HSM), such as thick biological tissues, which greatly prevents the applications of VVBs behind HSM. To address this issue, we propose a scheme to construct VVBs of freewill position on the surface of hybrid-order Poincaré sphere (HyOPS) through HSM.
