In a groundbreaking leap for photonics, scientists have created the world’s first programmable nonlinear photonic waveguide, ...

Partnership with Cornell and Stanford pushes beyond paradigm where photonic devices perform only single, fixed tasks ...

Ryotatsu Yanagimoto, a scientist at NTT Research, led the research under the supervision of Peter L. McMahon, an associate ...

Structured light can significantly enhance information capacity, due to its coupling of spatial dimensions and multiple degrees of freedom. In recent years, the combination of structured light ...

Scientists used a new invariant property of vectorial light to encode information. This quantity, which the team call 'vectorness', scales from 0 to 1 and remains unchanged when passing through a ...

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, ...

Photonics researchers have demonstrated how self-imaging of light, a phenomenon known for nearly two centuries, can be applied to cylindrical systems, facilitating unprecedented control of light's ...
