The proposed vortex beam can carry vast amounts of information, making them ideal for dense data communication systems. Scientists have developed a breakthrough optical technology that could ...

This calculated diffraction image shows how forked diffraction gratings shape the atoms' wave function into a vortex. (Courtesy: Science/AAAS) A wave-like property previously only seen in beams of ...

The Fourth Industrial Revolution is driving exponential growth in data transmission, and cost-effective, ultrafast, and compact optical communication technologies are urgently needed to manage the ...

A research team led by Associate Prof. Wang Anting from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) proposed a method for multidimensional ...

Propagate light through any kind of medium -- be it free space or biological tissue -- and light will scatter. Robustness to scattering is a common requirement for communications and for imaging ...

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.

There’s a new kind of twisted light. A rotating “vortex beam” whose twist changes across the length of the beam has been created in the lab for the first time. Researchers discovered in 1992 that a ...

American and Israeli researchers have used twisted vortex beams to transmit data at 2.5 terabits per second. As far as we can discern, this is the fastest wireless network ever created -- by some ...

Scientists have developed a novel method that dramatically enhances both the power and number of vortices, opening new avenues in advanced material ...

A project at Finland's Tampere University has secured €4.4 million in funding to further its research into optical vortices. The High-Power Optical Vortices (HiPOVor) project will train 15 doctoral ...
