“Optical Rotatum” – Harvard Scientists Discover New Structure of Light

“Optical rotatum” is the term researchers coined to describe a newly discovered structure of light. Beams of light that can be shaped into corkscrew-like forms, known as optical vortices, are used today in a variety of applications. Pushing the boundaries of structured light, applied physicists at Harvard’s John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied [...]
