摘要

Abstract

Optical vortices carrying angular momenta have promising applications from ultra-capacity communication to ultraprecise metrology

especially boosted by their recent on-chip developments. Now

the 6th-generation optical vortex technology has been unraveled by an all-on-chip integrated platform

with fully reconfigurable vector vortex control of arbitrary spin-to-orbital angular momentum coupling.
