Highlighting photonics: looking into the next decade
Zhigang Chen, Mordechai Segev
AbstractLet there be light–to change the world we want to be! Over the past several decades, and ever since the birth of the first laser, mankind has witnessed the development of the science of light, as light-based technologies have revolutionarily changed our lives. Needless to say, photonics has now penetrated into many aspects of scie...... hiện toàn bộ
Next generation lanthanide doped nanoscintillators and photon converters Tập 2 Số 1
Lei Lei, Yubin Wang, A. Kuzmin, Hua Yang, Jun Zhao, Shiqing Xu, Paras N. Prasad
AbstractScintillators are of significance for the realization of indirect X-ray detection and X-ray excited optical luminescence (XEOL) imaging. However, commercial bulk scintillators not only require complex fabrication procedures, but also exhibit non-tunable XEOL wavelength and poor device processability. Moreover, thick crystals usually generate light scatterin...... hiện toàn bộ
Highly efficient flexible structured metasurface by roll-to-roll printing for diurnal radiative cooling Tập 3 - Trang 1-12 - 2023
Keng-Te Lin, Xianbo Nian, Ke Li, Jihong Han, Nan Zheng, Xiaokang Lu, Chunsheng Guo, Han Lin, Baohua Jia
An ideal radiative cooler requires accurate spectral control capability to achieve efficient thermal emission in the atmospheric transparency window (8–13 μm), low solar absorption, good stability, scalability, and a simple structure for effective diurnal radiative cooling. Flexible cooling films made from polymer relying on polymer intrinsic absorbance represent a cost-effective solution but lack...... hiện toàn bộ
Arbitrarily structured quantum emission with a multifunctional metalens
Chi Li, Jaehyuck Jang, Trevon Badloe, Tieshan Yang, Joohoon Kim, Jae‐Kyung Kim, Minh Tho Nguyen, S. Maier, Junsuk Rho, Haoran Ren, Igor Aharonovich
AbstractStructuring light emission from single-photon emitters (SPEs) in multiple degrees of freedom is of great importance for quantum information processing towards higher dimensions. However, traditional control of emission from quantum light sources relies on the use of multiple bulky optical elements or nanostructured resonators with limited functionalities, c...... hiện toàn bộ
Two-photon MINFLUX with doubled localization precision - 2022
Kaixuan Zhao, Xinzhu Xu, Weili Ren, Dayong Jin, Peng Xi
AbstractAchieving localization with molecular precision has been of great interest for extending fluorescence microscopy to nanoscopy. MINFLUX pioneers this transition through point spread function (PSF) engineering, yet its performance is primarily limited by the signal-to-background ratio. Here we demonstrate theoretically that two-photon MINFLUX (2p-MINFLUX) cou...... hiện toàn bộ
Revealing the output power potential of bifacial monolithic all-perovskite tandem solar cells
Hongjiang Li, Yurui Wang, Han Gao, Mei Zhang, Renxing Lin, Pu Wu, Ke Xiao, Hairen Tan
AbstractBifacial monolithic all-perovskite tandem solar cells have the promise of delivering higher output power density by inheriting the advantages of both tandem and bifacial architectures simultaneously. Herein, we demonstrate, for the first time, the bifacial monolithic all-perovskite tandem solar cells and reveal their output power potential. The bifacial tan...... hiện toàn bộ
ISO-FLUCS: symmetrization of optofluidic manipulations in quasi-isothermal micro-environments Tập 3 Số 1
Antonio Minopoli, Susan Wagner, Elena Erben, Weida Liao, Iliya D. Stoev, Eric Lauga, Moritz Kreysing
AbstractRecently, it has been demonstrated that thermoviscous flows can be used for a range of fine micromanipulations, such as moving the cytoplasm of cells and developing embryos, intracellular rheology, and femtonewton-range force measurements. These flows, also known as focused-light-induced cytoplasmic streaming (FLUCS), are induced by mid-infrared laser scann...... hiện toàn bộ
Vectorial adaptive optics
Chao He, Jacopo Antonello, Martin J. Booth
AbstractAdaptive optics normally concerns the feedback correction of phase aberrations. Such correction has been of benefit in various optical systems, with applications ranging in scale from astronomical telescopes to super-resolution microscopes. Here we extend this powerful tool into the vectorial domain, encompassing higher-dimensional feedback correction of bo...... hiện toàn bộ
Phyllotaxis-inspired nanosieves with multiplexed orbital angular momentum Tập 1 - Trang 1-11 - 2021
Zhongwei Jin, David Janoschka, Junhong Deng, Lin Ge, Pascal Dreher, Bettina Frank, Guangwei Hu, Jincheng Ni, Yuanjie Yang, Jing Li, Changyuan Yu, Dangyuan Lei, Guixin Li, Shumin Xiao, Shengtao Mei, Harald Giessen, Frank Meyer zu Heringdorf, Cheng-Wei Qiu
Nanophotonic platforms such as metasurfaces, achieving arbitrary phase profiles within ultrathin thickness, emerge as miniaturized, ultracompact and kaleidoscopic optical vortex generators. However, it is often required to segment or interleave independent sub-array metasurfaces to multiplex optical vortices in a single nano-device, which in turn affects the device’s compactness and channel capaci...... hiện toàn bộ
