Paraxial and non-paraxial optical skyrmions
Vector light beams feature a spatially varying optical polarisation and can exhibit localised structures reminiscent of the skyrmions familiar from the study of magnetic media. We present a theory and experimental measurements of such skyrmions in both paraxial and non-paraxial optics. A key feature...
