Optical vortices—light beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM)—are characterized by helical wavefronts and phase ...

He probably knows more about the properties of light than any other human being, and Andrew Forbes now getting wider recognition for his work, writes ARTHUR GOLDSTUCK. The post Wits U prof shines on ...

Researchers from the School of Physics at Wits University, working with collaborators from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, have demonstrated how quantum light can be engineered in space and ...

Light doesn’t just travel in straight lines—it can also twist. And when it does, it opens new frontiers in science and medicine. A recent breakthrough led by Professor Igor Meglinski at Aston ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers have developed a tiny, room-temperature device that creates a special type of structured light called radially polarized photons, which are highly useful for secure ...

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 ...
