Optical vortex beams, characterized by their helical phase fronts and orbital angular momentum (OAM), are pivotal in applications such as high-capacity communication, optical manipulation, and quantum ...
EurekAlert! - Metasurfaces, ultra-compact optical devices capable of "precisely manipulating light," have shown great potential in augmented reality (AR) glasses, holographic projection, biosensing, ...
The metasurface achieves two-dimensional beam scanning of ±45° at 5.2 GHz with a peak gain of 17.23 dBi while reducing radar visibility across five frequency bands. At 0.065 wavelengths thick, the ...
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.
