In this paper, an experimental study of turbulent flow in a rectangular channel with walls formed by alternating smooth sections and strips of discrete roughness is performed. The fields of mean velocities and turbulence characteristics are obtained using the SIV method, and the structure of secondary flows is reconstructed. Measurements of hydraulic resistance are carried out for various surface configurations and Reynolds numbers. It is shown that heterogeneous roughness leads to the formation of large-scale secondary flows in the form of counter-rotating vortices with a transverse velocity of up to 5% of the main flow velocity. A correlation between the intensity of secondary flows and the hydraulic resistance coefficient is revealed, indicating a significant role of secondary circulation in momentum transfer mechanisms in the channel.</p>","PeriodicalId":784,"journal":{"name":"Technical Physics Letters","volume":"52 9","pages":"476 - 483"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2026-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149222773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, its optical constants remain uncertain largely due to the ubiquitous ferroelectric–ferroelastic multidomain microstructure, which depolarizes and averages out the anisotropic optical response, thereby complicating conventional ellipsometric approaches. Here, we report a Kramers–Kronig-consistent complex refractive-index tensor of tetragonal BTO from the ultraviolet (190 nm) to the far-infrared (40 μm) derived from multimodal Mueller-matrix spectroscopic ellipsometry. We further quantify optical loss by incorporating transmission intensity measured over the 2–10 μm transparency window, resolving the extinction coefficient down to ∼10–5. To verify the underlying domain configuration, we performed independent structural analyses, including electron backscatter diffraction, confocal Raman microscopy, and Kelvin probe force microscopy. We then reconstruct an effective optical model for our multidomain BTO sample, formulated as a mixture of three tetragonal variants with the determined intrinsic refractive indices, to link microscopic domains to the macroscopic optical response. Our work presents a unified, experimentally cross-validated data set, enabling accurate modeling for electro-optic modulators and high-Q nanophotonic resonators without ad hoc approximations, and provides a general strategy for optical metrology of complex ferroic crystals.","PeriodicalId":23,"journal":{"name":"ACS Photonics","volume":"56 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2026-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149218823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this setting, existing code families, which correct only sublinearly many photon losses, do not protect against amplitude-damping (AD) noise with a constant loss parameter. As our main result, we address this gap by constructing asymptotically good Fock-state codes relying on random classical codes in the discrete simplex. Unlike many standard constructions of random quantum codes, our construction introduces randomness through the underlying classical indexing structure. Randomization also enables another desirable feature: bounded per-mode occupancy, which limits the number of photons in any individual mode and thereby increases the coherence lifetime of the code states. Finally, via a relation between Fock-state codes and permutation-invariant codes, our results also yield asymptotically good families of qudit permutation-invariant codes as well as codes in monolithic nuclear state spaces.","PeriodicalId":20807,"journal":{"name":"Quantum","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149221410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, achieving precise and deterministic manipulation of light polarization in shorter wavelength, e.g., deep ultraviolet (DUV) band (λ < 280 nm) remains challenging. Herein, we demonstrate, for the first time, electrode‐engineered polarization control of DUV emission directly from a light emitter, without involving bulky external optics or complex metasurface or plasmonic architectures. Simply by strategically engineering the p‐type electrode geometry from circular, micro‐ring to narrow‐ring configurations, the relative contributions of transverse‐magnetic (TM) and transverse‐electric (TE) emission can be systematically controlled, yielding well‐separated TM to TE intensity ratios of 0.36, 0.54, and 0.77, respectively. Strikingly, their −3 dB bandwidths are 261, 298, and 300 MHz, respectively, with corresponding high‐speed data rates of 2.49, 2.63, and 2.87 Gbps can be achieved. Building upon this controllable polarization and modulation landscape, we further demonstrate polarization‐assisted multiplexing and physical‐layer secure optical communication by leveraging device‐specific polarization states as intrinsic optical fingerprints. These results establish a feasible and scalable approach toward the direct control over the DUV‐light polarization for high‐speed and secure ultraviolet photonic systems.","PeriodicalId":204,"journal":{"name":"Laser & Photonics Reviews","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.0,"publicationDate":"2026-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149221412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While lattice symmetry protects the existence of robust BICs at the Γ‐point (SP‐BICs), it also restricts their TCs to low‐order values. Achieving high‐order TCs in common crystal lattices, such as ‐symmetric systems, has therefore remained an open question. Here, we systematically demonstrate that high‐order TCs that surpass fundamental symmetry bounds can be created through the rich dynamics of a parameter‐driven merging process of off‐Γ BICs. We introduce a unified geometric framework based on the interplay between Fabry–Pérot interference and guided resonances, which uncovers different types of merging BICs dynamics, including near‐isotropic, anisotropic, and cross‐merging. Leveraging this mechanism, we realize unconventional TCs of up to at either a symmetry‐protected BIC or a degeneracy point in a simple ‐symmetric photonic crystal slab. We further show that this high‐order topology enables the generation of high‐quality Bessel OAM beams, providing a physically transparent route toward engineering high‐order topological photonics.","PeriodicalId":204,"journal":{"name":"Laser & Photonics Reviews","volume":"497 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.0,"publicationDate":"2026-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149221413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is shown that chirality changes the electronic structure of the nanotube, the spin–orbit interaction and the effective chemical potential, which determine the conditions of the topological phase transition. To describe the system, an effective model based on the Bogolyubov–de Gennes Hamiltonian is constructed, which allows one to obtain a criterion for the occurrence of Majorana null modes.
