Extended Data Fig. 8: Measured polarization-resolved images.
From: Vortex nanolaser based on a photonic disclination cavity

Complete sets of measured polarization-resolved mode images from the vortex (a) and anti-vortex lasers (b and c), including 0°, ±45°, 90° linearly polarized images (middle column) and right/left circularly polarized images (right column). The images captured without a linear polarizer are shown in the top left panels. The schematics of polarization directions are shown in the bottom left panels.
