3D printing is an incredible tool for prototyping and development, but the properties of the materials can be a limiting factor for functional parts. [Sam Rogers] and colleagues at [AX Technologies] ...

Researchers have developed a 3D-printed device that generates twisting light beams with orbital angular momentum (OAM), a form of rotational energy that can carry more data than regular beams.

Researchers 3D-printed a low-cost and efficient device that generates twisting light beams with orbital angular momentum and features integrated gain-filtering. WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed ...
