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 ...

Inside most photonic chips, light races through tiny optical wires. It carries information far faster than electricity can in many conventional systems.

In the dynamic realm of optical physics, researchers are continually pushing the boundaries of how light can be manipulated and harnessed for practical applications. As reported in Advanced Photonics ...

A photonic chip sends thousands of light beams into space. This could support displays, LiDAR, 3D printers, and quantum computers.
