Conceptual notion of twisted light probing a complex medium. An artistic illustration of twisted OAM light passing through a medium, where the OAM spectrum acts as a sensor to monitor its effects. The signature can be read out and analyzed using machine learning and AI algorithms to recognize or sense key features of the medium, as exemplified in the context of a turbulent atmosphere.
