In 1832 Hamilton predicted that a collimated light beam propagating through a biaxial crystal
parallel to one of its optical axes refracts as a slanted cone within the crystal and emerges as …

We present a novel approach for the optical manipulation of neutral atoms in annular light
structures produced by the phenomenon of conical refraction occurring in biaxial optical …

We employ conical refraction of light in a biaxial crystal to create an optical bottle for
photophoretic trapping and manipulation of particles in gaseous media. We show that by …

Coherent vector beams with involved states of polarization (SOP) are widespread in the
literature, having applications in laser processing, super-resolution imaging and particle …

We demonstrate the transformation of Gaussian input beams into super-Gaussian beams
with a quasi flat-top transverse profile by means of the conical refraction phenomenon by …

Recently, we introduced the basic concepts behind a new polarimeter device based on
conical refraction (CR), which presents several appealing features compared to standard …

When a light beam passes through a cascade of biaxial crystals (BCs) with aligned optic
axes, the resulting transverse intensity pattern consists of multiple concentric rings. We …

We present a formalism able to predict the transformation of light beams passing through
biaxial crystals. We use this formalism to show both theoretically and experimentally the …

In this paper, we extend the paraxial conical refraction model to the case of the partially
coherent light using the unified optical coherence theory. We demonstrate the …

The cascade conical refraction occurs when a collimated light beam is passed consequently
along the optic axes of several biaxial crystals arranged in a series. For commonly used …
