    Vortex dipoles in light beams can create periodic annihilations and revivals, mediated by unique point bundles. This phenomenon involves vortex spiraling and the spontaneous generation of dislocations in optical media.

    Area of Science:

    • Physics
    • Optics
    • Nonlinear Optics

    Background:

    • Vortex structures in light beams are crucial for understanding optical phenomena.
    • Light propagation in graded-index media presents complex behavior.
    • Previous studies have explored vortex dynamics but not the specific trajectory predicted here.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To predict and analyze the behavior of vortex dipoles in light beams within graded-index media.
    • To investigate the possibility of closed Berry trajectories for these vortex dipoles.
    • To elucidate the mechanisms behind vortex annihilation and revival.

    Main Methods:

    • Theoretical prediction of vortex dipole behavior.
    • Analysis of light propagation in graded-index optical media.

  • Investigation of Berry trajectories and associated topological indices.

    • Main Results:

    • Vortex dipoles can follow closed Berry trajectories, leading to periodic annihilation and revival.
    • Vortex revival is facilitated by Freund stationary point bundles with specific Poincaré-Hopf indices.
    • Observed phenomena include vortex spiraling and spontaneous generation of circular-edge dislocations.

    Conclusions:

    • The study predicts a novel dynamic behavior for vortex dipoles in optical systems.
    • The findings offer insights into topological aspects of light propagation and vortex dynamics.
    • This research opens avenues for controlling light-matter interactions through structured light.
