Fig. 2. Intensity and phase information of a simulated photonic toroidal vortex. a, Side view of three-dimensional iso-intensity profile of a photonic toroidal vortex. The colorful painting denotes the rotating spatiotemporal spiral phase ( ?r ,t ? ). The topological charge of the spiral phase is 1. The direction of local OAM density (jOAM) is marked with arrows. b, Front view of the iso-intensity profile of a photonic toroidal vortex
