Topology and Polarization of Optical Vortex Fields from Atomic Phased Arrays

We developed a theoretical formalism for the generation of optical vortices by phased arrays of atoms. Using the Jacobi–Anger expansion, we demonstrated the resulting field topology and determined the least number of individual atoms necessary for the generation of vortices with a given topological...
