NTNU Physicists Achieve Multilevel Photomemory via Vortex Light

A research group led by Professors Yen-Wen Lan and Ting-Hua Lu of the Department of Physics, in collaboration with PhD student Yeh-Ru Chen, master’s student Po-Wen Wang, and postdoctoral researcher Wen-Hao Chang, has published new findings in the October 2025 issue of Science Advances. The article, titled “Orbital angular momentum–driven multistate photomemory,” presents a method for achieving multilevel photomemory utilizing the orbital angular momentum (OAM) of light. This work marks a departure from the binary constraints of conventional optical memory and establishes the angular momentum of light as a viable and independent parameter for information storage and control.
