| الوصف: | The skyrmion, which is characterised by a topological integer, is a structure that is topologically stable against local disturbances. The huge potential of skyrmions for use in magnetic storage systems has drawn considerable research interest among physicists. Recently, the optical skyrmion was discovered and has some excellent properties. However, these optical skyrmions have been observed, for example, in surface plasmons that consist of evanescent waves. This type of optical skyrmion is difficult to manipulate and also difficult to apply in practice. In this work, we realise several skyrmionic optical structures with different skyrmion numbers in a free-space linear optical system. Because of the convenience of operation using free-space optics, with the exception of the original applications of skyrmions, skyrmionic optical structures can also be applied widely, e.g. to enable manipulation of tiny objects or propagation over long distances.
