Detecting trace amounts of molecules–-from explosives to biomarkers–-requires sensitive sensors. The characteristic vibrational and rotational modes of many such molecules lie in the THz range and act as molecular fingerprints, enabling label-free...

Achieving precise control of light intensity in 3D volumes is highly in demand in many applications in optics. Various wavefront shaping techniques have been utilized to reconstruct a target amplitude profile within a 3D space. However, these techniques...

Tunable semiconductor lasers are indispensable for applications ranging from spectroscopy to telecommunications, yet achieving continuous, mode-hop-free tuning across broad frequency ranges in a compact, robust device remains challenging. Here, we present...

Multiphoton interference and entanglement are fundamental to quantum information science, yet extending these effects to higher-dimensional systems remains challenging given the imperfections and complexity of scaling conventional linear-optical setups...

Solitons, as coherent structures that maintain their shape while traveling at constant velocity, are ubiquitous across various branches of physics, from fluid dynamics to quantum fields. However, it is within the realm of optics where solitons have not...

Vortices are ubiquitous in nature and can be observed in fluids, condensed matter, and even in the formation of galaxies. Light, too, can evolve like a vortex. Optical vortex beams are exploited in light-matter interaction, free space communications, and...
