LASER COMPONENTS are the UK distributor for Holo-Or, who manufacture vortex lens diffractive optics. The vortex lens is a unique optic that converts a Gaussian beam into a doughnut shaped energy ring, ...

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

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 ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2025.240250, discusses on-chip multi-channel near-far field terahertz vortices with parity breaking and active modulation. Vortex ...

Beams of light that can be guided into corkscrew-like shapes called optical vortices are used today in a range of applications. Pushing the limits of structured light, Harvard applied physicists in ...

An artistic pressions of a vortex-ring street analog to the structure of magnetic field of a NDSTP, where the right- and left- handed vortex rings were highlighted by blue and red, respectively.

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 ...
