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

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

Scientists are learning to engineer light in rich, multidimensional ways that dramatically increase how much information a ...

In a recent article, I looked at the demise of Lytro, maker of the first consumer “light field” camera, and what it meant for the future of this technology in mobile devices. As intriguing as some of ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
