Generation of Complex Vector & Vortex EUV Beams

Unlock precise control over light at the nanoscale with advanced generation of complex vector and vortex beams in the Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) regime. Our approach enables the synthesis of structured EUV light with tailored polarization, phase, and orbital angular momentum—pushing the boundaries of ultrafast and high-resolution photonics.

By engineering spatially varying polarization states and helical wavefronts, we make it possible to create EUV beams that interact with matter in fundamentally new ways. These beams carry orbital angular momentum (OAM) and exhibit rich topological properties, opening new paths for probing chiral, magnetic, and quantum materials.

Why it matters

  • Nanoscale resolution beyond conventional optical limits
  • Enhanced light–matter interaction through structured phase and polarization
  • Access to ultrafast dynamics in atoms, molecules, and solids

Key applications

  • Advanced EUV lithography and nanofabrication
  • Magnetic and chiral imaging with element specificity
  • Ultrafast spectroscopy and quantum material studies
  • Fundamental research in topological photonics

By combining vectorial control with vortex beam engineering, this technology delivers unprecedented flexibility in shaping EUV light—enabling experiments and applications that were previously out of reach.
