In particular, the magnetic Lorentz contribution to SHG is often neglected due to the ineffective magnetic field enhancement in electrically resonant structures. Here, we demonstrate a strong Lorentz-driven SHG output at the plasmon-induced magnetic dipolar resonance in inversion-symmetry-broken plasmonic nanocavities. We observe experimentally tenfold enhancement in the SHG intensity when the magnetic dipole mode is excited, with polarization-resolved measurements confirming the significant role of the hydrodynamic Lorentz-driven second-order nonlinear response. The enhancement originates from a significant spatial overlap between the electric and magnetic fields within the nanometer-scale cavity gaps. Our findings outline the critical role played by the resonant Lorentz-driven optically induced magnetic nonlinearities in metallic nanocavities, and it paves the way towards developing highly efficient nanoscale nonlinear photonic devices.","PeriodicalId":18069,"journal":{"name":"Light-Science & Applications","volume":"71 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144995703","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many quantum systems suffer from spatial decoherence in distances over a wavelength and cannot be sustained over short time periods due to dissipation. However, long range solutions are required for the development of quantum information processing on chip. Photonic reservoirs mediating the interactions between qubits and their environment are suggested. Recent research takes advantage of extended wavelength inside near-zero refractive index media to solve the long-range problem along with less sensitivity on the position of quantum emitters. However, those recent proposals use plasmonic epsilon near-zero waveguides that are intrinsically lossy. Here, we propose a fully dielectric platform, compatible with the Nitrogen Vacancy (NV) diamond centers on-chip technology, to drastically improve the range of entanglement over 17 free-space wavelengths, or approximatively 12.5 µm, using mu near-zero metamaterials. We evaluate transient and steady state concurrence demonstrating an order of magnitude enhancement compared to previous works. This is, to the best of our knowledge, the first time that such a long distance is reported using this strategy. Moreover, value of the zero time delay second order correlation function ({g}_{12}^{(2)}(0)) are provided, showing antibunching signature correlated with a high degree of concurrence.<figure></figure>","PeriodicalId":18069,"journal":{"name":"Light-Science & Applications","volume":"71 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144930371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we present a robust mode-locking SA by integrating a nanocavity composed of a two-dimensional graphene heterostructure on the fiber end facet. We demonstrate a significant reduction in the saturation intensity (~65%) and improved soliton dynamic processes through precise modulation of the optical field within the heterostructure. The designed heterostructure facilitates the formation of a stable single-soliton state for robust mode-locking. A high tolerance to intracavity polarization variations is achieved in the heterostructure-SA (~85% compared to 20% for bare graphene).

However, high-quality 3DSIM reconstruction is often hindered by uncertainties in experimental parameters, such as optical aberrations and fluorescence density heterogeneity. Here, we present PCA-3DSIM, a novel 3DSIM reconstruction framework that extends principal component analysis (PCA) from two-dimensional (2D) to three-dimensional (3D) super-resolution microscopy. To further compensate spatial nonuniformities of illumination parameters, PCA-3DSIM can be implemented in an adaptive tiled-block manner. By segmenting raw volumetric data into localized subsets, PCA-3DSIM enables accurate parameter estimation and effective interference rejection for high-fidelity, artifact-free 3D super-resolution reconstruction, with the inherent efficiency of PCA supporting the tiled reconstruction with limited computational burden. Experimental results demonstrate that PCA-3DSIM provides reliable reconstruction performance and improved robustness across diverse imaging scenarios, from custom-built platforms to commercial systems. These results establish PCA-3DSIM as a flexible and practical tool for super-resolved volumetric imaging of subcellular structures, with broad potential applications in biomedical research.<figure>This article developed PCA-3DSIM, a mathematically grounded enhancement to 3D structured illumination microscopy that improves robustness by integrating physical modeling with statistical analysis.</figure>","PeriodicalId":18069,"journal":{"name":"Light-Science & Applications","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144924107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Notably, these ILs could be successfully synthesized by activating 1-methylimidazole with carbonate, carboxylic, and oxalate esters. The structures and properties of the synthesized ILs were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, 1H/13C, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, thermogravimetry–mass spectrometry, and Hammett indicator. A mechanism was proposed for activating 1-methylimidazole, and the negative charge densities of the ILs were calculated. Considering MI-EC as an example, the best conditions for the synthesis of ILs were optimized reaction at 85 °C for 18 h, and the synthesis pathway was determined through density functional theory calculations. Herein, MI-EC exhibited excellent catalytic activity for transesterification reactions, and the corresponding ethylene carbonate (EC) conversion, dimethyl carbonate (DMC) yield, and turnover frequency (TOF) reached 50.4 %, 30.5 %, and 127.8 h−1, respectively, with a catalytic reaction of only 30 min. Furthermore, the mechanism underlying the transesterification reaction catalyzed by MI-EC was investigated. The catalytic activity and structure of MI-EC remained unchanged after six reuses, demonstrating its better stability. In addition, MI-EC displayed a wide range of substrate universality, such as carbonates, oxalates, and acetic esters. Thus, this study not only provides a theoretical and practical support foundation for designing and synthesizing ILs, but also provides a new perspective for preparing alkaline catalysts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":52958,"journal":{"name":"Carbon Resources Conversion","volume":"8 3","pages":"Article 100264"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145010418","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
