Advanced photonic nanostructures are currently revolutionizing the optics and photonics
that underpin applications ranging from light technology to quantum-information processing …

Chiral nanophotonic materials are promising candidates for biosensing applications
because they focus light into nanometer dimensions, increasing their sensitivity to the …

<? pag\vskip-16pt?> Harnessing linear and angular momenta of light is one of the
cornerstones in modern optics and has found tremendous applications in optical circuits …

Light carries both spin and orbital angular momentum. These dynamical properties are
determined by the polarization and spatial degrees of freedom of light. Nano-optics …

We review basic physics and novel types of optical angular momentum. We start with a
theoretical overview of momentum and angular momentum properties of generic optical …

The scientific effort to control the interaction between light and matter has grown
exponentially in the last 2 decades. This growth has been aided by the development of …

Maxwell's equations, formulated 150 years ago, ultimately describe properties of light, from
classical electromagnetism to quantum and relativistic aspects. The latter ones result in …

Structured light with inhomogeneous phase, amplitude, and polarization spatial distributions
that represent an infinite-dimensional space of eigenstates for light as the ideal carrier can …

Scientists have known for more than a century that light possesses both linear and angular
momenta along the direction of propagation. However, only recent advances in optics have …
