Optical technology using orbital angular momentum has the potential to transform medical diagnosis
Experimental setup. Credit: Light: Science & Applications (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41377-024-01562-7 Researchers at Aston University have developed a new technology using light that could revolutionize non-invasive medical diagnostics and optical communications. In this study, we demonstrate how a type of light called orbital angular momentum (OAM) can be used to improve imaging and data transmission through skin and other biological tissues.…
