Structured light can significantly enhance information capacity, due to its coupling of spatial dimensions and multiple degrees of freedom. In recent years, the combination of structured light ...

Shaped quantum light is turning ordinary photons into powerful tools for the future of technology.

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

Scientists are learning to engineer light in rich, multidimensional ways that dramatically increase how much information a ...

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 ...

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 ...

NTT’s research division has developed what it claims to be the world’s first programmable nonlinear photonic waveguide capable of switching between multiple nonlinear-optical functions on a single ...
