Summary: | Abstract The burgeoning growth of structured light has opened up new possibilities for harnessing the spatiotemporal coupling effects in light. Optical spatiotemporal vortices, as a subset of spatiotemporal light, have emerged as a focal point of recent research, owing to their distinctive characteristics and vast range for application. This unique structured light will endow photons with a new degree of freedom, promising to revolutionize researchers’ understanding of photonics. Conducting thorough research on optical spatiotemporal vortices will establish a solid foundation for the development of innovative physical mechanisms and advanced applications in photonics. |
