DORILIAN LOPEZ-MAGO

In this project, we work in the design, fabrication and characterization of q-plates for the generation of structured terahertz beams... Quantum-optical coherence tomography is a novel imaging technique capable of measuring the internal structure of a sample by employing nonclassical states of light, such as entangled photon pairs. Our goal is to improve this technique to the level of real medical applications... We characterize the spin and orbital momentum densities in the superposition of two paraxial vortex beams with orthogonal polarizations. Our goal is to understand the interplay between the two types of momentum densities. In addition, it provides a practical model that can be implemented experimentally to demonstrate the spin part of the optical energy flows.
