Polychromatic electric field knots

The polarization of a monochromatic optical beam lies in a plane and, in general, is described by an ellipse, known as the polarization ellipse. The polarization ellipse in the tight-focusing (nonparaxial) regime forms nontrivial three-dimensional topologies, such as Möbius and ribbon strips as well...
