Skyrmions are topologically protected structures that have been an active are of research in magnetic systems but their origins lie in high-energy physics and are relevant to other types of systems too. Here, the authors theoretically and experimentally investigate optical skyrmions namely the creation and decomposition of triangular, square, and hexagonal skyrmion lattices in optical fields.
