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 ...

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

(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 ...

Scientists are learning to engineer light in rich, multidimensional ways that dramatically increase how much information a single photon can carry. This leap could make quantum communication more ...

Scientists have long used Gaussian beams to study how light interacts with matter. These beams resemble plane waves and rely ...

Photonics researchers have demonstrated how self-imaging of light, a phenomenon known for nearly two centuries, can be applied to cylindrical systems, facilitating unprecedented control of light's ...

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 ...

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 ...
