Article Abstract
Light carrying orbital angular momentum L⃗, scattered by a rotating object at angular velocity Ω⃗, experiences a rotational Doppler shift Ω⃗·L⃗. We show that this fundamental light-matter interaction can be detected exploiting self-mixing in a vortex laser under Doppler-shifted optical feedback, with quantum noise-limited light detection. We used a low-noise relaxation oscillation-free (class-A) vortex laser, based on III-V semiconductor vertical-external-cavity-surface-emitting laser technology to generate coherent Laguerre-Gauss beams carrying L=ℏl (l=±1,…±4). Linear and rotational Doppler effects were studied experimentally and theoretically. This will allow us to combine a velocity sensor with optical tweezers for micro-manipulation applications, with high performances: compact, powerful ≫10 mW, high-quality beam, auto-aligned, linear response up to >10⁸ rad/s or >300 km/h, low back-scattered light detection limit <10⁻¹⁶/Hz.

Phased arrays are crucial in various technologies, such as radar and wireless communications, due to their ability to precisely control and steer electromagnetic waves. This precise control improves signal processing and enhances imaging performance. However, extending phased arrays to the terahertz (THz) frequency range has proven challenging, especially for high-frequency operation, broadband performance, two-dimensional (2D) phase control with large antenna arrays, and flexible phase modulation.

The transport properties of biased type II superconductors are strongly influenced by external magnetic fields, which play a crucial role in optimizing the stability and performance of low-noise superconducting electronic devices. A major challenge is the stochastic behavior of Abrikosov vortices, which emerge in the mixed state and lead to energy dissipation through their nucleation, motion, and annihilation. Uncontrolled vortex dynamics can introduce electronic noise in low-power systems and trigger thermal breakdown in high-power applications.

We present a comprehensive study on the femtosecond laser direct welding of glass and metal, focusing on optimizing processing parameters and understanding the influence of material properties and beam shaping on welding quality. Using microscopy, we identified optimal pulse energy, focal position, and line-spacing for achieving high-quality welds. We further investigated the effects of laser beam shaping and material property differences in various glass-to-metal pairs, including borosilicate, fused silica, and Zerodur glasses welded with mirror-polished metals such as Cu, Mo, Al, Ti, and AISI316 steel.

The optical vortex laser-induced forward transfer (OV-LIFT) technique enables the direct print of well-aligned dots with high spatial resolution and high positional accuracy. In this work, we demonstrate the direct printing of a 2-dimensional biomaterial (cyanobacteria cells) dot array using the OV-LIFT technique. The number of bacteria and size of the printed dots were controlled by simply adjusting the thickness of the donor film and the numerical aperture (NA) of focusing optics.

The recently discovered heavy-fermion superconductor, UTe, is an excellent candidate for spin-triplet superconductors in which electrons form spin-triplet Cooper pairs with spin = 1 and odd parity. Unconventional superconductivity often hosts unconventional vortices. Yet, the vortex core and lattice in UTe have not been directly visualized and characterized.
