Fig. 1 Contents of this review. When AI and structured light meet, the intersection facilitates the generation of new forms of light, the unravelling of structured light, and the application of ...

A newly uncovered property of light suggests it may be far more self-sufficient than previously believed. Researchers at the ...

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 ...

Researchers from Wits University and Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona show how controlling the structure of photons in space and time enables tailored quantum states for next-generation communication ...

(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 ...

Researchers used structured light and switchable fluorescent molecules to reduce the background light from the out-of-plane regions of microscope samples. This method allowed for the acquisition of ...

Scientists at the University of East Anglia have uncovered a hidden property of light that allows it to twist, spin 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 ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The ability to precisely measure and manipulate matter at the nanoscale has emerged as a frontier of paramount importance. From unraveling the fundamental physics of quantum ...
