Phase and Polarization Singularities in Extreme Ultraviolet Vector-Vortex Beams

"It was fascinating to observe the evolution of the vector-vortex beam during propagation"

This talk addresses the up-conversion of vortex and vector-vortex beams from the infrared into the extreme ultraviolet. The control over spin and orbital angular momentum in high harmonic generation (HHG) enables structuring short-wavelength beams in their polarization and phase [1]. We can imprint high topological charges in twisted wavefronts through HHG, reaching values as high as 100 in a recent Hartmann wavefront characterization [2]. By integrating both a spatially-varying phase and polarization in vector-vortex beams, we reveal novel propagation dynamics in HHG and we build-up attosecond light springs with multiple polarization states that can be oriented in radial or azimuthal configurations.
