Twisted laser vortex breakthrough could lead to near-infinite bandwidth, new science

2013-09-24 17:16:33| Extremetech

Scientists at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) have devised a new way of creating twisted laser beams -- optical vortexes -- for carrying vast, near-infinite amounts of data down optical fiber, discovering exoplanets, and more. SLAC's optical vortex technology is much more advanced than previous attempts at creating and transmitting twisted light, allowing for shorter pulses, higher intensities, and much wider wavelengths -- including X-rays.
