| contents | We report universal skyrmionic spin textures in the cores of optical and acoustic vortex beams, described within the framework of Laguerre-Gaussian modes. We analytically demonstrate nondiffractive propagating spin merons, independent of whether the field is transverse or longitudinal, with their sign controlled by the wavefront helicity. Experimental confirmation is provided in acoustics through full three-dimensional measurements of the velocity vector field. Although these phenomena are intrinsic to vortex cores, we also show that the claimed universality breaks down for higher-order topological charges, depending on the carrier mode, here exemplified using the Bessel framework. |
