Sub‐Diffraction and Irreversibly Tunable Imaging With Potato Starch Lenses

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Native potato starch granules function as sustainable birefringent microlenses that enable polarization‐controlled conventional and vortex lensing via spin‐to‐orbital angular momentum conversion. They provide sub‐diffraction and spiral‐contrast imaging, support vortex‐array generation with controllable topological‐charge sign, exhibit irreversible ...
