Physicists unveil data-carrying 'light hurricanes'

Berlin, Germany (SPX) Nov 12, 2024

Modern data transmission relies heavily on encoding information into laser beams, sent through optical cables. As the global demand for greater data capacity rises, advancing how we encode this information is crucial. At Aalto University's Department of Applied Physics, researchers have pioneered a method to create light vortices - small "hurricanes" within laser beams - that can potential
