Scientists have achieved a major breakthrough in the measurement of structured light waves with orbital angular momentum (OAM), according to a recent study. OAM is a crucial factor in advanced technologies such as communication, imaging, and quantum information processing. The researchers, from Sun Yat-sen University and École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), employed interferometry to extract information about the OAM spectrum. Interferometry involves combining a light field with a known reference field to obtain data. However, this technique faces challenges due to crosstalk known as “signal-signal beat interference” (SSBI). To overcome these obstacles, the scientists utilized the Kramers-Kronig (KK) relation.…
