Researchers have developed a 3D-printed device that generates twisting light beams with orbital angular momentum (OAM), a form of rotational energy that can carry more data than regular beams.

Vortex phenomena are widespread in nature, from typhoons to ocean currents. In the field of optics, vortex beams, which carry orbital angular momentum, have spiral wavefronts and ring-shaped intensity ...

A new research study from Opto-Electronic Advances discusses tailoring electron vortex beams with customizable intensity patterns by electron diffraction holography. In recent years, the scientific ...

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 ...

LASER COMPONENTS would like to introduce HOLO/OR’s donut-shaped diffractive optical vortex element. The outside profile is square, while the inside is round, making it possible to achieve homogeneous ...

Researchers 3D-printed a low-cost and efficient device that generates twisting light beams with orbital angular momentum and features integrated gain-filtering. WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed ...
