This study aims to develop a classification model for young children with DLD based on their brain function signals. Children aged 3.0 to 7.0 years participated in this study, including 21 children with DLD and 43 controls. All participants completed functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) tasks designed to assess word expression ability (report task) and word comprehension ability (point task). General linear model (GLM) analysis was conducted to compare activation differences across fNIRS channels between the two groups. For DLD classification, a one-dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) was applied to hemoglobin oxygenation (HbO) signals from three regions of interest (ROIs), which included the bilateral inferior frontal gyrus (encompassing Broca's area), the bilateral temporo-parietal junction (encompassing Wernicke's area), and the bilateral motor cortex. Using HbO signal features the bilateral inferior frontal gyrus during the word expression task, the CNN model achieved a validation F1 score of 72.89%. Similarly, using HbO signal features from from the bilateral temporo-parietal junction during the word comprehension task, the CNN model achieved a validation F1 score of 71.81%. Additionally, children with DLD showed atypical activation in the right temporo-parietal junction area and left inferior frontal gyrus during both tasks. Our findings demonstrate that brain signals recorded during language tasks can effectively differentiate young children with DLD, highlighting the potential of task-based fNIRS as a valuable adjunct in the clinical diagnosis of DLD.","PeriodicalId":13094,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics","volume":"31 4: Adv. in Neurophoton. for Non-Inv.

Band calculations confirmed a wider bandwidth in the air cladding structure than in the AlO<sub>x</sub> cladding. Furthermore, 3-dimensional finite-difference time-domain simulations reveal approximately five times higher output compared to conventional structures. Experiments were conducted to fabricate the OLW structure with air cladding layers. Optimization of the etching conditions using buffered hydrogen fluoride etchant successfully removed the AlO<sub>x</sub> cladding layers and achieved the desired structure. The output lights from the fabricated samples were measured under photo-pumping excitations, confirming increased output intensity due to the air cladding structure.

Therefore, expanding the dynamic range of SNSPDs becomes indispensable. Inspired by the photoreceptor cells on human retina, this study conducted a biomimetic design of SNSPDs. The arrangement of pixels imitated the distribution of cone and rod cells, and the photosensitivity of these two different cells to the incident photons was altered by adjusting parameters such as linewidth, polarization, photosensitive area, and bias current. This design significantly enhances the overall dynamic range of the device, facilitating a linear response to incident photon flux ranging from 10\u0000<sup>3</sup>\u0000 photons/s to 1.16×10\u0000<sup>14</sup>\u0000 photons/s, and the dynamic range is 110.64 dB. Furthermore, imaging experiments using digital micromirror device (DMD) were performed to simulate high dynamic scenes. Combined with compressive sensing single pixel imaging strategy, imaging of incident light within a 90 dB range was achieved, demonstrating the functionality of the device over an extremely wide dynamic range.","PeriodicalId":13094,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics","volume":"31 5: Quantum Materials and Quantum Devices","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142905934","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent advances have introduced directional emission IR LEDs, which offer superior control over light direction, enhance efficiency, and broaden application scopes. Despite the potential of GeSn-based LEDs for short-wave infrared (SWIR) and mid-wave infrared (MIR) applications due to their CMOS compatibility and direct bandgap, these devices suffer from low directionality and light extraction efficiency. This study proposes a novel approach by integrating a dielectric metasurface with GeSn MQW LEDs to achieve directional light emission. We numerically demonstrate that this integration reduces the full width at half-maximum (FWHM) angle of the far-field emission from 60 to 10 degrees and enhances the emission intensity by a factor of 26 at normal incidence. These improvements suggest that metasurface-integrated GeSn LEDs hold significant promise for applications that require high brightness and precise directionality.","PeriodicalId":13094,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics","volume":"31 1: SiGeSn Infrared Photon. and Quantum Electronics","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142890187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, the possibility to exploit a 1064 nm wavelength coupled with wavelengths of classical approaches is also discussed. Our findings demonstrate a reasonable overlap of the new approaches as compared to the standard one, with confined discrepancies potentially linked to a not established agreement in the scientific community on the exact value of extinction coefficients of tissue constituents beyond 1000 nm, as well as to an increased penetration depth in the tissue at 1064 nm due to a lower scattering coefficient as compared to the visible range. These findings open the way to further studies in the field, also given the increasing advancements in lasers and detectors at 1064 nm.","PeriodicalId":13094,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics","volume":"31 4: Adv. in Neurophoton. for Non-Inv.

In this regard, it was shown that the notion of PT-symmetry can be employed to build new on-chip laser devices that operate in single longitudinal/transverse mode. Until recently, however, obtaining realistic power output and beam qualities from these systems was impossible. A recent study on quasi-PT-symmetric (q-PTS) lasers has changed this landscape by demonstrating up to 0.5 W output power with a high-quality Gaussian beam profile. In that work, PTS was implemented only for the higher-order mode in what can be considered a two-mode supersymmetric laser. Encouraged by these results and to present a clear roadmap for building practical chip-scale lasers with high performance, here we present a detailed comparison between the performance of PTS and q-PTS lasers in terms of power, mode filtering, and beam quality. Our experimental results, which are also supported by theoretical analysis, indicate that both q-PTS and PTS lasers scale similarly in terms of output power levels as a function of the pump current. However, when it comes to mode filtering and beam quality, our results clearly indicate that quasi-PTS lasers outperform PTS counterpart devices by a large margin. This can be explained by noting that while PTS geometry provides modal filtering for the higher order modes in the lasing cavity, it introduces side lobe contribution from the passive cavity which degrades the far-field emission pattern.","PeriodicalId":13094,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics","volume":"31 2: Pwr. and Effic.

GeSn showed weak confinement of electrons in both k-space (directness) and real space, as well as a weak optical confinement factor.

A 2-4x increase in electron effective mass preserves strong confinement even in narrow, 5 nm GeCSn/Ge quantum wells. Simply keeping electrons out of non-lasing, higher energy states doubles the differential gain compared with GeSn lasers and reduces free carrier absorption, while deeper QWs further enhance gain.
