The spin angular momentum (SAM) of an elliptically or circularly polarized light beam can be transferred to matter drive a spinning motion. It is counterintuitive find that without SAM also cause the microparticles. Here, we demonstrate controllable birefringent microparticles via tightly focused radially vortex has no prior focusing.

Multiplexing multiple orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes of light has proven to be an effective way increase data capacity in fiber-optic communications. However, existing techniques for distributing the OAM rely on specially designed fibers or couplers. Direct transmission multiplexed through a long standard multimode fiber remains challenging because strong mode coupling disables demultiplexing. Here, we propose deep-learning-based approach recover scattered from channels without...

Multimode fibers (MMFs) can support a large number of spatial modes, increasing the amount transmitted information, feature that benefits fields such as endoscopic imaging or optical communications. However, transport information encoded in phase through standard MMF has not been achieved due to strong mode coupling, hindering direct data transfer using light beams endowed with orbital angular momentum (OAM). Here, we present computational field technique achieve OAM-multiplexed transmission...

The spin angular momentum (SAM) plays a significant role in light-matter interactions. It is well known that light carrying SAM can exert optical torques on micro-objects and drive rotations, but 3D rotation around an arbitrary axis remains challenging.
