By their powerful talent in manipulating optical parameters, metasurfaces demonstrate great ability in the generation of the vortex beams. Until now, vortex beam generators constructed by metasurfaces mostly lack tunability, which reduces the scope of their applications. Here, spin-decoupled moiré metalenses composed of two cascaded all-dielectric metasurfaces are designed. Utilizing mathematical derivation and numerical simulation, dual vortices with variable topological charge can be generated under the incidence of orthogonal circularly polarized light by tuning the mutual rotation between the two cascaded metasurfaces. Meanwhile, vector vortex beams can be produced by superposition of dual focused vortices under the linearly polarized light illumination and whose vector polarized states can also be manipulated by mutual rotation. This work provides a flexible design strategy for continuous manipulation of singular beams, which have potential applications in optical communication, microparticle manipulation, and super-resolution imaging.

Creation of a stable vector vortex beam with dual fractional orbital angular momentum.

Recently, vortex beams have been widely studied and applied because they carry orbital angular momentum (OAM). It is widely acknowledged in the scientific community that fractional OAM does not typically exhibit stable propagation; notably, the notion of achieving stable propagation with dual-fractional OAM within a single optical vortex has been deemed impracticable. Here, we address the scientific problem through the combined modulation of phase and polarization, resulting in the generation of a dual-fractional OAM vector vortex beam that can stably exist in free space.

Article Synopsis
- - The study explores how vertical mass exchange and turbulent vortex interactions affect solute distribution and the purification efficiency of wetlands dealing with nutrient-rich (eutrophic) waters.
- - Key findings indicate that vegetation density and height slow down solute diffusion, while there's a critical threshold for bed absorption that influences near-bed concentration.
- - It is essential to understand the dual effects of submerged vegetation, as they enhance vertical mass exchange but hinder solute absorption, which informs better management practices for wetland ecosystems.

This paper presents a two-stenosis aorta model mimicking vortical flow in vascular aneurysms. More specifically, we propose to virtually induce two adjacent stenoses in the abdominal aorta to develop various vortical flow zones post stenoses. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were conducted for the virtual two-stenosis model based on physiological and anatomical data (i.

Unfortunately, there is still a lack of manipulation with simple preparation, easy operation, and multifunctional integration. In this Letter, we present an optofluidic device based on a graphite oxide (GO)-coated dual-fiber structure for multifunctional particle manipulation.
