Optical vortices—light beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM)—are characterized by helical wavefronts and phase ...
A new publication from Opto-Electronic Science; DOI 10.29026/oes.2024.230052 discusses structured light beams with controllable polarization along arbitrary trajectories. A structured light refers to ...
Researchers from Wits University and Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona show how controlling the structure of photons in space and time enables tailored quantum states for next-generation communication ...
Light can carry angular momentum in two distinct ways. One comes from polarization, which describes how the electric field ...

Twisting light in liquid crystals could shrink future quantum hardware
Light is not supposed to behave like a trapped whirlpool, yet researchers have now shown that it can do exactly that inside a ...
Everyday experience tells us that light reflected from a perfectly flat mirror will give us the correct image without any deformation. Interestingly, this is not the case when the light field itself ...
Photonics researchers have demonstrated how self-imaging of light, a phenomenon known for nearly two centuries, can be applied to cylindrical systems, facilitating unprecedented control of light's ...
