Undergraduate research (IC): measuring the orbital angular momentum of light
structured light
instrumentation
Build an optical setup to generate and characterize vortex beams, and quantify their OAM content. Level: undergraduate (IC). Prerequisites: basic optics and Python. Status: open.
Sample opening (placeholder).
Level: Undergraduate research (Iniciação Científica) · Status: Open
Prerequisites: introductory optics; basic Python for data analysis (see the Python for experimental sciences posts).
What you’ll do
Assemble a spatial-light-modulator setup to create optical vortices, image the resulting beams, and implement a simple numerical pipeline to estimate their orbital angular momentum. A good first project for getting hands-on with experimental optics and scientific programming.
