We demonstrate for the first time, a uniform low temperature (<250 °C) process for fabricating both high-confinement thick and low-confinement thin ultra-low loss Silicon nitride waveguides.
AI-empowered multiphoton microscopy enhances diagnostic accuracy and efficiency for various human diseases, evolving towards next-generation diagnostic pathology with an endogenous, multi-dimensional, and intelligent approach.
We report a deep-trap ultraviolet persistent phosphor with thermoluminescence glow peaks beyond 500 K that exhibits intense and long-lasting ultraviolet luminescence under indoor lighting conditions but emits negligible afterglow in darkness.
We explore and observe the spatio-temporal breather dynamics of optical soliton frequency comb crystals, examining spatial breathers, chaos transitions, and dynamical switching – in nonlinear measurements and theory.
A simple cavity-based technology capable of simultaneously measuring optical rotary dispersion and circular dichroism within milliseconds offers ultra-high sensitivity and unprecedented spectral resolution.
This study demonstrates the Coulomb focusing in nonadiabatic tunneling ionization inducing the convergence of electrons emitted at different initial ionization times to the same emission angle, thereby breaking the one‐to-one correspondence—one of the fundamental assumption in attosecond angular streaking.
High efficiency and dynamic modulation of third-harmonics generation (THG) is realized by integrating the giant nonlinear responses resulted from intersubband transitions of multiple quantum well (MQW) with plasmonic nano-resonator.
Recent advances in understanding the intricate hot-electron dynamics in plasmonic nanostructures enable efficient hot-carrier generation, transport, and manipulation, driving technological innovations in photodetection, solar cells, photocatalysis, and ultrafast nanophotonics.
This special issue covers the fundamentals and applications in THz optics and photonics, presents the basic research overview or cross-cutting interdisciplinary research contributed from the most active groups in eight countries, and serves as most updated references and detailed guidance for the active researchers in the THz photonics community.
