Elliptic vortices of electromagnetic wave fields

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We demonstrate the existence of elliptic vortices of electromagnetic scalar wave fields. The corresponding intensity profiles are formed by propagation-invariant confocal elliptic rings. We have found that copropagation of this kind of vortex occurs without interaction. The results presented here also apply for physical systems described by the 2+1-dimensional Schrödinger equation.
