We present a photonic mode converter based on a grating structure, modeled and inversely designed by deep neural networks. The neural network maps the physical parameters of the grating to the grating responses, i.e., co...

Metasurfaces composed by arrays of coupled plasmonic resonators have attracted tremendous attention due to their extraordinary abilities to manipulate electromagnetic (EM) waves. However, existing theories for such syste...

Permutation matrices form an important computational building block frequently used in various fields including, e.g., communications, information security, and data processing. Optical implementation of permutation oper...

Surging interests in point-of-device miniaturization have led to the development of metasurface-based optical components. Here, we demonstrate an electrically-driven ultracompact beam controller in the infrared spectral ...

Background Growing evidence attests to the efficacy of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs), but their effectiveness for healthcare workers remains uncertain.Aims To evaluate the evidence for MBIs in improving healthca...

The concept of orbital angular momentum (OAM) of light has not only advanced fundamental physics research but also yielded a plethora of practical applications, benefitting from the abundant methods for OAM generation ba...

Silicon photonics has been established as a mature and promising technology for optoelectronic integrated circuits, mostly based on the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) waveguide platform. However, not all optical fu...

Infrared photodetectors (IRPDs) have become important devices in various applications such as night vision, military missile tracking, medical imaging, industry defect imaging, environmental sensing, and exoplanet explor...

We study theoretically the emission and lasing properties of a single nanoshell spaser nanoparticle with an active core and a plasmonic metal shell. Using time-dependent equations for the gain medium and metal, we calcul...

A facile and expedient iodocyclization of 4-(2-prop-1-ynylphenyl)-1H-pyrroles towards the synthesis of polysubstituted 3H-benzo[e]indoles is reported. The transformation was optimized and the best results were obtained b...

Diamond color centers have been widely studied in the field of quantum optics. The negatively charged silicon vacancy (SiV−) center exhibits a narrow emission linewidth at the wavelength of 738 nm, a high Debye–Wall...

The intensity distributions and statistics of partially coherent light fields with random fluctuations have proven to be more robust than for coherent light. However, its full potential in practical applications has not ...

Metasurface-assisted waveguide couplers, or meta-couplers, innovatively link free-space optics with on-chip devices, offering flexibility for polarization and wavelength (de)multiplexing, mode-selective coupling, and gui...

We review the fundamental concepts of direct laser writing (DLW) of 3D metallic structures via photoreduction and give an overview over the state-of-the-art. On the one hand, metallic microstructures and nanostructures p...

Plasmonic nanoantennas have revolutionized the way we study and modulate light–matter interaction. Due to nanofabrication limitations, dimer-type nanoantennas always exhibit some degree of asymmetry, which is desirable...

Polarization measurement has been widely used in material characterization, medical diagnosis and remote sensing. However, existing commercial polarization analyzers are either bulky schemes or operate in non-real time. ...

Several global chain properties of relatively long peptides composed of 20 amino acid residues are estimated through the modeling of their experimental effective electrophoretic mobilities determined by CZE for 2 < pH < ...

Optical frequency comb synthesizers, operating in the harmonic regime, are metrological sources in which the emitted optical power is concentrated in a few modes, spaced by several multiples of the cavity free spectral r...
