An entirely new structure of light is helping to measure chirality in molecules more accurately and robustly than ever before, in a major potential step for the pharmaceutical industry. Published in ...

A new laser based on a swirling vortex of light has been created by physicists in the US. The “topological-defect laser” could be a useful addition to lab-on-a-chip devices, where it could manipulate ...

Recently, the Laboratory of Micro and Nano Engineering, School of Engineering Science, University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) has made important progress in the field of structural ...

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 ...

Short pulses from a laser can be twisted into a series of doughnut-like vortices, offering a way to transmit more information using light. We usually encounter vortices in water and air, but similar ...
