Research offers a new approach to studying complex light in complex systems, such as transporting classical and quantum light through optical fiber, underwater channels, living tissue and other highly ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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

Scientists have built a soft, wireless Implant that lets the brain interpret patterned light as if it were a new kind of touch, turning beams into information the cortex can actually use. Instead of ...
