Topological Photonic Media and the Possibility of Toroidal Electromagnetic Wavepackets

This study aims to present a theoretical investigation of a feasible electromagnetic wavepacket with toroidal-type dual vortices. The paper begins with a discussion on geometric phases and angular momenta of electromagnetic vortices in free space and periodic structures, and introduces topological p...
