Free-space local nonseparability dynamics of parabolic vector modes
LASER BEAM SHAPING XXI(2021)
摘要
It is well known that entanglement is invariant to local unitary transformations, this implies the degree of entanglement or non-separability remains constant during free-space propagation, which is true for both quantum and classically-entangled modes. Here we demonstrate an exception to this rule using a carefully engineered vectorial light field, and study its non-separability dynamics upon free-space propagation. We show that the local non-separability between the spatial and polarisation degrees of freedom dramatically decays to zero, while preserving the purity of the state and hence the global non-separability. We show this by numerical simulations and corroborate it experimentally. Our results evince novel properties of classically-entangled modes, point to the need for new measures of non-separability for such vectorial fields, while paving the way to novel applications for customised structured light.
