Structured light can significantly enhance information capacity, due to its coupling of spatial dimensions and multiple degrees of freedom. In recent years, the combination of structured light ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

What are Blue Light 3D Scanners? Structured light 3D scanners, typically mounted on a camera stand, robot, or tripod, function as point-and-shoot cameras and need little or no programming with minimal ...

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 ...
