We report a light-controlled soft bio-microrobots (called “Ebot”) based on Euglena gracilis that are capable of performing multiple tasks in narrow and changeable microenvironments with high controllability, deformability and adaptability.
We cascade VO2-based tunable optical cavities with selective-transparent layers to overcome the wavelength dependence, realizing the multispectral manipulation with reversible tunability covering wavelengths ranging from the VIS to MW regions.
The centrally located reciprocal point can achieve single-mode transmission and switch off the photonic molecule. The deviated reciprocal point can switch on the photonic molecule and dynamically control the splitting.
A novel generic high-fidelity Raman spectral denoising and baseline correction strategy to enhance diverse cross-device/specimen biomedical applications and hyperspectral image chemical resolution visualization to reveal spatial features of cancer tissue.
We develop a wearable and interactive multicolored photochromic fiber using the thermal drawing technique, which overcomes the dependence on external light sources and the non-uniform light emission observed in polymer optical and photochromic fibers.
The theoretical unlimited orbital angular momentum states have been utilized as node signals in an optical neural network to implement machine learning tasks.
Strong effective photon–photon interactions (Kerr-like optical nonlinearity) via the Rydberg blockade phenomenon in Cu2O-microcavity achieved under pulsed resonant excitation enabling fundamental studies of strongly correlated polaritonic states and quantum optical applications.
We propose a new type of classical optical convolutional neural network by introducing the optical correlation. Such a network can exhibit “quantum speedup”like the quantum neural networks.
We demonstrate a high-performance single-photon source based on a monolithic FP microcavity, and the thin-film microcavity structure facilitates effective strain transduction.
We not only confirmed the superfluorescence effect, but also demonstrated the phase transition to cooperative exciton-polariton condensation. This was achieved by applying a regulatory dimension of light field.
Through the fine regulation of Förster and Dexter energy transfer, we managed triplet excitons, and the intensity ratio between thermally activated delayed fluorescence and room-temperature phosphorescence exhibited a great change.
Free-electron decoherence produced by electron coupling to radiation constitutes a quantum-physics macroscopic phenomenon that enables nondestructive sensing of distant objects
Nonlocal metasurfaces with spatially varying geometries are modeled using a generalized coupled mode theory that operates in real space, enabling rapid numerical prototyping and insightful modeling of their spectro-spatial features.
