(TU Delft QN/Kuipers Lab) Alpeggiani, F. (TU Delft QN/Kuipers Lab) Di Falco, Andrea (University of St Andrews) Kuipers, L. (TU Delft QN/Quantum Nanoscience) Department QN/Quantum Nanoscience Date 2017 Abstract Phase singularities can be created and annihilated, but always in pairs. With optical near-field measurements, we track singularities in random waves as a function of wavelength, and discover correlations between creation and annihilation events.
