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 science and technology, turning into an
important and dynamicall... 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 scattering followed by evident
signal cros... 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, constraining the
potential of mult... 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) could double its
localization precis... 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 tandems are realized by
replacing th... 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 scanning of a temperature
spot through... 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 both
polarisation and phase. This t... 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
Directly wireless communication of human minds via non-invasive brain-computer-metasurface platform - 2022
Qian Ma, Wei Gao, Qiang Xiao, Lingsong Ding, Tianyi Gao, Yajun Zhou, Xinxin Gao, Tao Yan, Che Liu, Ze Gu, Xianghong Kong, Qammer H. Abbasi, Lianlin Li, Cheng-Wei Qiu, Yuanqing Li, Tie Jun Cui
Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), invasive or non-invasive, have projected
unparalleled vision and promise for assisting patients in need to better their
interaction with the surroundings. Inspired by the BCI-based rehabilitation
technologies for nerve-system impairments and amputation, we propose an
electromagnetic brain-computer-metasurface (EBCM) paradigm, regulated by human’s
cognition by brai... hiện toàn bộ
