"The Orbital Carrier is a game-changer, acting as a pre-positioned launch pad in space." The U.S. Space Force is funding the development of a new "Orbital Carrier" spacecraft that can deploy ...

This means that the optical attenuation depends on the orbital angular momentum of the guided light. Thus, the waveguide transmits optical vortices with a specific helicity and largely attenuates ...

Over the years, several waveguides and structured materials have been developed to preserve linear and circular polarization over long distances and analyze these states with a sufficient degree of ...
