Researchers demonstrate that by shaping the spatial and temporal structure of photons, they can engineer customized quantum states suited for next-generation communication, sensing, and imaging ...

After futzing around with a cheap pico projector, a webcam and a little bit of software, [Jas Strong] built herself a 3d scanner. In spite of the dozens of Kinect-based scanner projects, we’ve seen ...

Fig. 1 Contents of this review. When AI and structured light meet, the intersection facilitates the generation of new forms of light, the unravelling of structured light, and the application of ...

Researchers from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) and the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa, consolidate their longstanding ...

A recent review evaluates two decades of advancements in quantum structured light, revealing the impact on photon information capacity for secure communications and computing.

In a recent article, I looked at the demise of Lytro, maker of the first consumer “light field” camera, and what it meant for the future of this technology in mobile devices. As intriguing as some of ...

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 ...

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 ...

The speed of light in a vacuum is 299,792,458 m s –1, right? Not necessarily, according to a team of physicists in the UK, which has found that the speed of an individual photon decreases by a tiny ...

Structured Illumination Microscopy (SIM) is a tool which breaks the diffraction resolution barrier to provide resolutions of up to 20nm. The resolution of conventional microscopes is limited by the ...
