All light has structure, but only recently has it been possible to control it in all its degrees of
freedom and dimensions, fuelling fundamental advances and applications alike. Here we …

Orbital angular momentum (OAM), which describes tailoring the spatial physical dimension
of light waves into a helical phase structure, has given rise to many applications in optical …

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 …

The pace of innovations in the field of optical trap** has ramped up in the past couple of
years. The implementation of structured light, leading to groundbreaking inventions such as …

Structured light is derived from the ability to tailor light, usually referring to the spatial control
of its amplitude, phase, and polarization. Although a venerable topic that dates back to the …

Laser Beam Sha**: Theory and Techniques addresses the theory and practice of every
important technique for lossless beam sha**. Complete with experimental results as well …

Random Light Beams: Theory and Applications contemplates the potential in harnessing
random light. This book discusses light matter interactions, and concentrates on the various …

This book deals with theoretical bases of the modern optics division concerned with
coherent light fields with singularities characterized by phase uncertainty. Singular light …

Diffraction places a fundamental limitation on the distance an optical beam propagates
before its size increases and spatial details blur. We show here that imposing a judicious …

A new family of paraxial laser beams that form an orthogonal basis is discussed. When
propagated in uniform space, these beams preserve their structure to scale. The intensity …
