Everyday experience tells us that light reflected from a perfectly flat mirror will give us the correct image without any deformation. Interestingly, this is not the case when the light field itself ...

In free-space optical communication scenarios, atmospheric turbulence distorts the complex wavefront of signal-carrying light beams, leading to bit errors and even communication interruptions. Note ...

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 ...

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 ...

Light doesn’t just travel in straight lines—it can also twist. And when it does, it opens new frontiers in science and medicine. A recent breakthrough led by Professor Igor Meglinski at Aston ...
