Generating Mobius strips of light

29 Jan 2015

A collaboration of researchers from Canada, Europe and the USA have experimentally produced Möbius strips from the polarization of light, confirming a theoretical prediction that it is possible for light’s electromagnetic field to assume this peculiar shape. ([Link])

Möbius strips of light made for the first time

29 Jan 2015

Banzer’s team scattered two polarised green laser beams off a gold bead that was smaller than the wavelength of the light. The resulting inference introduced a polarisation pattern with either three or five twists, giving it a Möbius-like structure. ([Link])

How to twist light into a Möbius strip

29 Jan 2015
