- Description
- Advances in photonics are bringing the fundamental nature and properties of the photon under fresh scrutiny. Numerous developments in the field of optical vortices, plasmonics and nonlinear optics hinge on exotic properties of the wave-front and phase structures of light, down to the level of the photon itself. As a result we are discovering new fundamental principles, and finding new applications ranging including nanomanipulation, quantum information and all-optical switching. This colloquium highlights some of the recent discoveries, and puzzles that now need to be solved.
