Abstract
The observation of spiral spatial structures of light formed by an unmetallized nanoobject is reported. It is shown experimentally that a single polymer nanocylinder is capable of forming single and double spirals in two-dimensional cross sections of the spatial intensity distribution of cw laser radiation in the space above the nanocylinder top.
