Microcavity-based generation of full Poincaré beams with arbitrary skyrmion numbers

A full Poincaré (FP) beam possesses all possible optical spin states in its cross section, which constitutes an optical analog of a skyrmion. Until now FP beams have been exclusively generated using bulk optics. Here we propose a generation scheme of an FP beam based on an optical microring cavity....
