Imagine a whirlpool spinning in a river, or a tornado swirling through the sky. They don't just spin on the spot: they travel forward while maintaining that spiraling motion inside them. These ...
A team has been developing a new type of laser-induced forward transfer (LIFT) for laser printing using an optical vortex, which has been dubbed OV-LIFT. The team succeeded in printing crystals with ...
A new optical device might allow astronomers to view extrasolar planets directly without the annoying glare of the parent star. It would do this by “nulling” out the light of the parent star by ...
Optical vortex beams, characterized by their helical phase fronts and orbital angular momentum (OAM), are pivotal in applications such as high-capacity communication, optical manipulation, and quantum ...
Pushing the limits of structured light, 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 unique ...
An artistic pressions of a vortex-ring street analog to the structure of magnetic field of a NDSTP, where the right- and left- handed vortex rings were highlighted by blue and red, respectively.
A project at Finland's Tampere University has secured €4.4 million in funding to further its research into optical vortices. The High-Power Optical Vortices (HiPOVor) project will train 15 doctoral ...
