Light revealed to carry orbital angular momentum on its side

Light can carry its OAM in a vortex turned to the side, similar to how a wheel on a car spins (Image: The University of Warsaw)

The OAM movement draws comparisons to the force applied to a merry-go-round to initiate momentum.

A microlens array with commercial-level optical quality, 3D-printed using the blurred tomography method

Researchers use blurred light to 3D print optical components

Researchers from the National Research Council of Canada have developed a 3D printing method that can rapidly produce commercial-level optical quality microlenses, making it faster and simpler to design and fabricate a range of optical devices.
