Moiré Magic: Unlocking On-Axis Structured Light Beams

Hey there, fellow light enthusiasts! Ever heard of structured beams? Imagine light that doesn’t just shine straight ahead but has cool, complex patterns – like tiny light tornadoes or beams with multiple twists. These aren’t just pretty; they’re super useful for things like grabbing onto microscopic particles, boosting communication speed,…
