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 ...

An exciting prospect in modern optics is to exploit patterns of light — how the light looks in its many degrees of freedom — often referred to as “structured light.” Each distinct pattern could form ...

Fig. 1 Contents of this review. When AI and structured light meet, the intersection facilitates the generation of new forms of light, the unravelling of structured light, and the application of ...

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 ...

Topological spin textures, spatially organized patterns linked to the intrinsic angular momentum of particles, have proved to be highly advantageous for the development of spintronics and quantum ...
