This review examines the role of twisted light in chiral systems, highlighting its applications in spectroscopy and materials ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances, 10.29026/oes.2024.240001 discusses robust detection technology of orbital angular momentum of partially coherent vortex light fields in complex ...

Beams of light that can be guided into corkscrew-like shapes called optical vortices are used today in a range of applications. Pushing the limits of structured light, Harvard applied physicists in ...

Imagine a whirlpool spinning in a river, or a tornado swirling through the sky. They don't just spin on the spot: they travel forward while maintaining that spiraling motion inside them. These ...

In recent years, optical vortices have attracted extensive attention in laser advanced manufacturing because of their annual intensity distribution and orbital angular momentum. Compared with the ...

Pushing the limits of structured light, 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 unique ...
