Research offers a new approach to studying complex light in complex systems, such as transporting classical and quantum light through optical fiber, underwater channels, living tissue and other highly ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2022.210174 discusses nonlinear optics with structured light. Light can be tailored, much like cloth, weaving and stitching a pattern ...

Scientists used a new invariant property of vectorial light to encode information. This quantity, which the team call 'vectorness', scales from 0 to 1 and remains unchanged when passing through a ...

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

Structured light waves with spiral phase fronts carry orbital angular momentum (OAM), attributed to the rotational motion of photons. Recently, scientists have been using light waves with OAM, and ...

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 ...

The power of light microscopes to resolve fine details has just doubled. A new technique can distinguish tiny structures inside cells, in colour and 3D, even if they are only 100 nanometres apart. “We ...

*Think Apple would TELL any Apple users that iPhones can have invisible built-in 3D-mapping registration systems? Yeah, me neither. On Tuesday Patently Apple posted a granted patent report titled ...

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

Looking to scan a specific part, an entire machine, a piece of furniture or even the human body? At Sears think[box], our wireless handheld structured light scanner can scan a wide range of objects ...
