Spin angular momentum associated with circular polarization is a fundamental and
important aspect of photons both in classical and quantum optics. The interaction of this …

Light can be tailored to carry angular momentum well beyond the restriction of its two spin
states, left-and right-circularly polarized light, by imbuing it with orbital angular momentum …

Quantum networks provide the framework for quantum communication, clock
synchronization, distributed quantum computing, and sensing. Implementing large-scale …

We study the effective amplification of optical solitons in high power transmission systems
based on a nonlinear Schrödinger equation with variable coefficients. Three soliton …

Background Long-term oral corticosteroid (OCS) treatment for severe asthma is known to
cause significant adverse effects, but knowledge on effects of lower exposures in general …

The vectorial optical field (VOF) assumes a pivotal role in light-matter interactions. Beyond
its inherent polarization topology, the VOF also encompasses an intrinsic degree of freedom …

Metafibers, by integrating metasurface at the optical fiber tip, are emerging as the significant
optical coupling platforms for nanophotonics and fiber-optic communities. Here, we propose …

Multiplexing and demultiplexing of optical orbital angular momentum (OAM) are critical
operations in mode-division multiplexing communications. Traditional Dammann gratings …

In optics, to generate vortex beams, we normally need specific man-made structures such as
spiral phase plates and computer-generated holograms. On the other hand, wave diffraction …

A ternary transition metal dichalcogenide based saturable absorber was proposed and
employed to generate the Q-switching pulses in a fiber laser. The fabricated Mo x Ta 1− x Se …
