Scientists have managed for the first time to create a unidirectional device that significantly increases the quality of a special class of transmitted signals in optical communications: optical ...

By transmitting selective optical vortex modes exclusively unidirectionally, the developed device largely reduces detrimental backscattering to a minimum. The scientists emphasize the great practical ...

Optical vortex plays an important role in a variety of fields, such as particle tweezing, quantum communication, astrophysics, and microscopy. Especially, the application of optical vortex has been ...

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 ...

Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light have managed for the first time to create a unidirectional device that significantly increases the quality of a special class of ...
