A team of NASA researchers is developing new types of optical masks that could help enable the many orders of magnitude of ...

A new optical device might allow astronomers to view extrasolar planets directly without the annoying glare of the parent star. It would do this by “nulling” out the light of the parent star by ...

Physicists at the University of Warsaw have generated a miniature “laser tornado” inside nanoscale structures by engineering ...

Researchers succeed in building an optical vortex insulator Now, a team at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light led by Xinglin Zeng, Philip Russell and Birgit Stiller, achieved a ...

Optical vortex plays an important role in a variety of fields, such as particle tweezing, quantum communication, astrophysics, and microscopy. Especially, the application of optical vortex has been ...

(Nanowerk News) An optical vortex is identified as a phase singularity encircled with helical wavefront, and thanks to its unique properties including its carried orbital angular momentum (OAM) ...

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 ...

Scientists have managed for the first time to create a unidirectional device that significantly increases the quality of a special class of transmitted signals in optical communications: optical ...
