摘要

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.
