This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 9 - Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure. The ability to control the phase, polarization, and intensity of light is extensively ...
Optical vortices—light beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM)—are characterized by helical wavefronts and phase singularities. While they have been widely studied in recent decades, two ...
Scientists at the University of East Anglia have uncovered a hidden property of light that allows it to twist, spin and behave differently—without mirrors, materials or special lenses. In a ...
Knots and links, with their unique and robust topological structures, play a vital role across various disciplines, including physics, life sciences, and light–matter interactions. As a representative ...
An international team of scientists, including researchers from the UAB, has published in Nature Photonics a review on an emerging field that is transforming the way we communicate, measure and ...
Pushing the limits of structured light, applied physicists report a new type of optical vortex beam that not only twists as it travels but also changes in different parts at different rates to create ...
