Sculpting shadows : on the spatial structuring of fields & atoms : a tale of light and darkness

Whether in art or physics, two dimensions are better than one. And in this context, we consider the spatial shaping of optical fields and atomic polarisations. This work begins with a comprehensive review of how to accurately and arbitrarily modulate transverse beam profiles using six different meth...
