12.19 2024NKU Scholar Makes Breakthrough in Topological Photonics
Nankai University NewsNetwork (Correspondent Cheng Dan). The phenomenon of vortices is pervasive in nature, manifesting across a broad range of scales, from the motion of particles at the quantum level to the distribution of stars in galaxies. In the field of optics, Allen and colleagues first demonstrated in 1992 that vortex beams carry orbital angular momentum (OAM), thereby ushering in a new era in vortex beam research, bridging classical and quantum perspectives. This seminal discovery not o
