In the last three years, much effort has been devoted to achieving efficient ultralong afterglow from organic small molecules, which possess controllable intermolecular interactions and defined energy levels, making them a good platform to suppress the non-radiative decays, hence stabilizing the excitons for efficient afterglow emissions at room temperature. Nevertheless, there has been a lack of reviews on how efficient ultralong organic afterglow can be systematically achieved from small molecular host-guest materials, which is not conducive to the development of the field. In this review, we have outlined and summarized small-molecule ultralong organic afterglow materials based on different emission mechanisms. We have included emission mechanisms involving ultralong room-temperature phosphorescence (URTP), ultralong thermally activated delayed fluorescence (UTADF) and organic long persistent luminescence (OLPL), where the latter two mechanisms have rarely been reported. In addition, challenges and future perspectives are discussed to emphasize the future directions.</p><figure></figure>","PeriodicalId":18069,"journal":{"name":"Light-Science & Applications","volume":"119 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144905996","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}

In most studies, such devices require gate arrays composed of a large number of independently-controllable local gate electrodes that address the local scattering response of individual metaatoms. Although this approach in principle enables arbitrary wavefront control, the complicated driving mechanism and low optical efficiency have been hindering its practical applications. In this work, we demonstrate an active beam switching device that provides highly directional beam profiles and significant and uniform optical efficiencies across diffraction orders separated by a large deflection angle. The device operates with only a single-gate bias applied to monolayer graphene, modulating its optical conductivity to control the optical efficiency of the device. The key performance metrics, the absolute and the relative efficiency, which are defined as the scattered power toward a certain angle <i>θ</i> normalized by the incident power and the net scattered power from the metasurface, respectively, are maximized by a genetic algorithm. Experimentally, the metasurface achieves 57° of active beam switching from the 0th to the −1st order diffraction, with absolute efficiencies of 0.084 and 0.078 and relative efficiencies of 0.765 and 0.836, respectively. Furthermore, an analytical framework using nonlocal quasinormal mode expansion provides deeper insight into the operating mechanism of active beam switching. Finally, we discuss the performance limitations of this design platform and provide insights into potential improvements.</p>","PeriodicalId":18069,"journal":{"name":"Light-Science & Applications","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144906000","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}

Beam scanning LiDAR provides high accuracy and long detection range with limited detection efficiency, while flash LiDAR can achieve high-efficiency detection through the snapshot approach at the expense of reduced accuracy and range. With the synergy of these distinct detection approaches, we develop a miniaturized dual-mode, reconfigurable beam forming device by cascading Pancharatnam-Berry phase and propagation phase metasurfaces, integrated with a micro-actuator. By modulating incident light polarization, we can switch the output beam of the device between the beam array scanning mode and flash illuminating mode. In the scanning mode, the device demonstrates a continuously tunable angular resolution and a ± 35° field of view (FoV) through driving the micro-actuator to achieve the lateral translation of ±100 μm. In the flash mode, uniform illumination across the entire FoV is achieved. As a proof of concept, we propose an adaptive 3D reconstruction scheme that leverages the device’s capability to switch operation modes and adjust detection resolution. Together, the proposed device and the detection scheme constitute a dual-mode LiDAR system, demonstrating high adaptability to diverse environments and catalyze the applications of more efficient and compact 3D detection systems.</p><figure></figure>","PeriodicalId":18069,"journal":{"name":"Light-Science & Applications","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144898431","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}

Enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in fluorescence imaging improves the quantification accuracy and spatial resolution; however, achieving high SNR at fast image acquisition rates, which is often required to observe cellular dynamics, still remains a challenge. In this study, we developed a technique to rapidly freeze biological cells in milliseconds during optical microscopy observation. Compared to chemical fixation, rapid freezing provides rapid immobilization of samples while more effectively preserving the morphology and conditions of cells. This technique combines the advantages of both live-cell and cryofixation microscopy, i.e., temporal dynamics and high SNR snapshots of selected moments, and is demonstrated by fluorescence and Raman microscopy with high spatial resolution and quantification under low temperature conditions. Furthermore, we also demonstrated that intracellular calcium dynamics can be frozen rapidly and visualized using fluorescent ion indicators, suggesting that ion distribution and conformation of the probe molecules can be fixed both spatially and temporally.

To address this challenge, we propose a spoof surface plasmon polariton (SPP) metawaveguide (Meta) to design on-chip rotary traveling-wave oscillator (RTWO). By leveraging the advanced dispersion manipulation capability of Meta, the physical and electrical lengths of transmission line (TL) are effectively decoupled, thereby overcoming the limitations associated with the unequal electrical lengths of inner and outer loops of the resonator, which is difficult to achieve in the conventional RTWOs. Based on the design methodology, we realize a Meta-RTWO using the 65 nm CMOS technology and achieve a measured FOM of 188.5 dBc/Hz and a phase error of approximately 0.21°. These metrics surpass those of the traditional oscillators fabricated even by more advanced 28 nm CMOS processes.

However, the hindered charge injection and massive charge trapping due to the insulating and defective surface of quantum dots (QDs) usually lead to a slow rise in electroluminescence (EL) response, which makes it challenging to realize ultra-high refresh rate displays with nanosecond response. Herein, an ionic liquid 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium Trifluoromethanesulfonate ([BMIM]OTF) was used to enhance the crystallinity and reduce the surface area ratio of QDs, which effectively decreases defect state and injection barrier at the interface. Therefore, the rise time of EL response with steady-state is successfully reduced by over 75%. We further reduce the capacitance effect by decreasing the light-emitting unit area. Thus, ultra-high resolution (9072 pixel per inch) PeLEDs with light-emitting pixel size of 1.3 μm were realized, achieving a brightness exceeding 170,000 cd/m<sup>2</sup> and an external quantum efficiency up to 15.79%. Moreover, it achieves nanosecond ultrafast response time under steady-state, which is the fastest response time of PeLEDs reported so far.
