Vector and scalar vortex beams that exist on the higher-order Poincaré sphere have many applications, such as microscopy, imaging, laser machining, and communication in free space and in fibres.

Figure 1: HOP sphere representation of vector vortex beams. In contrast to the complexity and challenges of producing OAM beams and vector vortex beams from lasers, the control of polarization or ...

With our downloadable SVG laser file and easy-to-follow instructions, crafting your own Candy Cane Christmas Countdown has never been simpler.

They managed to generate and control high-order vector vortex beams (VVBs). The study is published in Laser & Photonics Reviews.

Scientists bent frickin’ laser beams to create this detailed image of a cat "We can use this system to do quantum simulations of electrons and superconductivity." ...

The UK has for the first time test-fired a laser beam from an army vehicle, destroying targets at the speed of light from more than a kilometre away, the defence secretary has revealed. A single ...

Using the laser as a replacement for the CRT’s electron beam, [Seb] was able to code a reasonably playable vector-graphic version of Asteroids on a large projections screen.

Device Overview At the heart of the Fungabeam package is the advanced laser device itself, engineered with precision to deliver Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) directly to the nail bed.

Although the laser beam makes its way to the target at the speed of light, it takes several seconds to destroy short-range missiles. The Iron Dome, however, destroys the target within a millisecond.

Traditional lightning rods will still do the trick for most instances, but laser alternatives could be used at spaceports and military bases.

A massive laser was spotted by Coit Tower in San Francisco this week, with people supposedly able to see it from at least 12 miles away.
