Laser & Photonics Reviews Cover’s story and picture!
On the cover – structured terahertz light in the form of an Airy beam – resembling the “THz sun” – illuminating Fresnel, Fibonacci and Bessel shaped THz beams illustrates the comprehensive study on THz light engineering in nonparaxial lensless imaging systems based on silicon diffractive optics (see article number 2301197 by Sergej Orlov, Rusnė Ivaškevičiūtė-Povilauskienė, and co-workers). The background depicts the numerically estimated modulation transfer map dependencies on the distance between imaged object and the optical element.
“..the presented findings open a ground-breaking pathway for the advancement of a new generation of compact non-paraxial THz imaging systems employing engineered and structured light in illumination or image retrieval schemes. In particular, they can play an essential role in the further development of miniature THz imaging systems that rely on the integration of optical components directly on a semiconductor chip. As a consequence, it will stimulate novel applications that enrich the scope of a rapidly evolving field of advanced THz technology.”
As a result, a distinct application of polarization singularities in laser micro processing was demonstrated…
