This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 9 - Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure. The ability to control the phase, polarization, and intensity of light is extensively ...

In February 2023, Wits researchers announced a new approach to studying complex light in complex systems, such as transporting classical and quantum light through optical fibre, underwater channels, ...

In free-space optical communication scenarios, atmospheric turbulence distorts the complex wavefront of signal-carrying light beams, leading to bit errors and even communication interruptions. Note ...

Researchers used structured light and switchable fluorescent molecules to reduce the background light from the out-of-plane regions of microscope samples. This method allowed for the acquisition of ...

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 ...

Light doesn’t just travel in straight lines—it can also twist. And when it does, it opens new frontiers in science and medicine. A recent breakthrough led by Professor Igor Meglinski at Aston ...

Looking to scan a specific part, an entire machine, a piece of furniture or even the human body? At Sears think[box], our wireless handheld structured light scanner can scan a wide range of objects ...
