Knotted polarizations and spin in three-dimensional polychromatic waves
We consider complex three-dimensional polarizations in the interference of several vector wave fields with different commensurable frequencies and polarizations. We show that the resulting polarizations can form knots, and interfering three waves is sufficient to generate a variety of Lissajous, tor...
