Nanoscale orbital angular momentum beam instabilities in engineered nonlinear colloidal media.
Optics Express 2018 March 6
Colloidal media with well-defined optical properties have been widely used as model systems in many fundamental and applied studies of light-matter interactions in complex media. Recent progress in the field of engineered nanoscale optical materials with fundamentally new physical properties opens new opportunities for tailoring the properties of colloids. In this work, we experimentally demonstrate the evolution of the optical vortex beams of different topological charges propagating in engineered nano-colloidal suspension of negative polarizability with saturable nonlinearities. Due to the high power of the incident beam, the modulation instability leads to an exponential growth of weak perturbations and thus splits the original vortex beam into a necklace beam consisting of several bright spots. At a fixed power, the number of observed bright spots is intrinsically determined by the topological charge of the incident beam and agrees well with the predictions of our linear stability analysis and numerical simulations. Besides contributing to the fundamental science of light-matter interactions in engineered soft-matter media, this work opens new opportunities for dynamic optical manipulation and transmission of light through scattering media as well as formation of complex optical patterns and light filamentation in naturally existing colloids such as fog and clouds.
