Light fields, as a form of electromagnetic waves, are characterized by fundamental parameters including intensity, phase, and polarization. Precise imaging of these three parameters is crucial for ...

"Diffraction effects and polarization-related reflections make it difficult to control how energy is distributed during ablation," says Prof. Shaolin Xu, a laser manufacturing expert at SUSTech and ...

The ability to dynamically control the nonlinear phase in optical systems is crucial. It improves flexibility, adaptability, and functionality across ...

Researchers in China have created a transparent, colorless, and unidirectional solar concentrator that can be directly coated onto standard window glass and used to harvest sunlight without changing ...

A new approach to manufacturing multicolor lenses could inspire a new generation of tiny, cheap, and powerful optics for ...

An international research team has established a blueprint to arrange complex, knot-like patterns of light, called hopfions, into crystals that repeat across both space and time. The technique uses ...

In International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing, a new laser machining method that dynamically adapts its beam shape is proposed to fabricate microgrooves with ...
