报告摘要：

Singularities can appear in the real-space distribution of light’s polarization, manifesting as ill-defined properties (orientation or major axis) of polarization ellipses or vanished norm of the fields. They carry intrinsic topological properties and have subtle relations with geometric phases and non-Hermitian exceptional points. In this talk, I will introduce our recent work about polarization singularities in the optical near fields of nano/micro structures. I will show that the integration of singularity, topology, and symmetry in such systems can give rise to interesting structures of light fields with potential applications in chiral sensing and chiral quantum optics.
