The rotational Doppler effect has attracted extensive attention, caused by the angular momentum and energy exchange between rotating objects and waves. However, most previous works used a simple rotation frame, which made use of only a single-round angular momentum and energy exchange. We propose and demonstrate a frame containing a spiral phase plate cascaded with rotating targets to make an amplification of the traditional Doppler shift, and reduce the diffusion of orbital angular momentum modes by half, which means the distance of practical application is doubled theoretically. To this end, an experiment is carried out to verify the frame. It shows a more practical, convenient, and non-destructive method to measure the rotational speed of a remote target.

Plantar sensation associates with gait instability in older adults.

J Neuroeng Rehabil

Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA.

Background: Advanced age brings a loss of plantar sensation, represented, for example, as higher sensation thresholds in standardized testing. This is thought to contribute to an increased risk of falls among older adults - an intuitive premise that has yet to be fully investigated, especially in the context of walking balance. The purpose of this study was to quantify the association between plantar sensation and the instability elicited by a suite of walking balance perturbations that differ in direction and context in a cohort of n = 28 older adults (73.

We analyze the angular momentum balance for a particle undergoing Thomas precession. The relationships among relativistic torque, the center of mass, and the center of inertia for a spinning particle are clarified. We show that spin precession is accompanied by orbital angular momentum precession, and present examples of the resulting out-of-plane motion.

Optical vortex beams carrying orbit angular momentum have attracted significant attention recently. Perfect vortex beams, characterized by their topological charge-independent intensity profile, have important applications in enhancing communication capacity and optimizing particle manipulation. In this paper, metal-insulator-metal copper-coin type reflective metasurfaces are proposed to generate perfect composite vortex beams in X-band.

Hybrid continuous-variable (CV) and discrete-variable (DV) entanglement is an essential quantum resource of hybrid quantum information processing, which enables one to overcome the intrinsic limitations of CV and DV quantum protocols. Besides CV and DV quantum variables, introducing more degrees of freedom provides a feasible approach to increase the information carried by the entangled state. Among all the degrees of freedom of photons, orbital angular momentum (OAM) has potential applications in enhancing the communication capacity of quantum communication and precision of quantum measurement.
