Self-assembled architectures of soft matter have fascinated scientists for centuries due to
their unique physical properties originated from controllable orientational and/or positional …

Controlling the various degrees‐of‐freedom (DoFs) of structured light at both quantum and
classical levels is of paramount importance in optics. It is a conventional paradigm to treat …

Polarization plays a key role in science; hence its versatile manipulation is crucial. Existing
polarization optics, however, can only manipulate polarization in a single transverse plane …

Herein, an attention-grabbing and up-to-date review related to major multiplexing
techniques is presented which includes wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) …

Modal decomposition of light has been known for a long time, applied mostly to pattern
recognition. With the commercialization of liquid-crystal devices, digital holography as an …

Abstract Information encryption with optical technologies has become increasingly important
due to remarkable multidimensional capabilities of light fields. However, the optical …

Vector beams, and in particular vector vortex beams, have found many applications in recent
times, both as classical fields and as quantum states. While much attention has focused on …

Vector vortex beams are structured states of light that are nonseparable in their polarisation
and spatial mode, they are eigenmodes of free-space and many fiber systems, and have the …

Optical communication is an integral part of the modern economy, having all but replaced
electronic communication systems. Future growth in bandwidth appears to be on the horizon …

Polarization holography is a newly researched field, that has gained traction with the
development of tensor theory. It primarily focuses on the interaction between polarization …
