Knotting of optical vortices
Optical vortices form three-dimensional lines of darkness in scalar light. They are places where the phase becomes undefined and hence singular in value. We study the ability of optical vortices to form knots and links of darkness in scalar optical fields. We describe a construction to create comple...
