The device utilizes a metallic nanotube array (MeNTA) meticulously fabricated on a silicon wafer using stainless-steel material through sputter deposition. The simulation with Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) approach reveals significant alterations to the blackbodyradiated far-infrared spectrum. Experimental validation via Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) measurements confirms a pronounced wavelength filtering effect, primarily centered at 10.2 μm. The device incorporating stainless steel MeNTA exhibits 1.4 times improvement in luminous efficiency, reaching 7.45 × 10\u0000⁻³\u0000, accompanied by a radiated power of 11.034 mW and 0.681 mW/mm\u0000²\u0000 radiated power per area.

With a nanosecond laser as the pump light, the modulation instability effect leads to the generation of multiple optical solitons in the first PCF sample which has a close-to-zero dispersion value at the pump wavelength (∼1064 nm). The following PCF samples with decreasing core diameters enhance the waveguide nonlinearity, and at the same time provide continuously-shorter phase-matching wavelengths for dispersive-wave emission, thereby pushing the short-wavelength edge of the SC spectrum into the deep ultraviolet spectral region. While the PCF splicing technique ensures the compactness of this SC set-up, the generated SC spectrum, spanning ∼350 nm to ∼2000 nm with a flat spectral profile, may be applied in fluorescence microscopy and biochemical imaging.","PeriodicalId":13204,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Photonics Journal","volume":"16 6","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10738207","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142595081","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A liquid-core fiber-based SPR sensor is first designed to match the operating wavelength of 1530 nm in the fiber laser intra-cavity, and then placed into the cavity of the EDF laser to constitute the all-fiber intra-cavity SPR sensor. We theoretical investigate the influence of pump power, cavity loss and EDF length on the sensitivity of the proposed intra-cavity SPR sensor. The results indicate that the sensitivity of the intra-cavity SPR sensor can reach 1.051 × 10\u0000⁹\u0000 RIU\u0000⁻¹\u0000 (refractive index unit), which is enhanced 4 × 10\u0000⁶\u0000 times compared with the sensitivity of 253 RIU\u0000⁻¹\u0000 obtained by the SPR sensor without fiber laser cavity. In addition, the sensitivity of the proposed intra-cavity SPR sensor can be flexibly tuned by changing pump power, cavity loss or EDF length.

However, the system performance of FSO-based UAV communication systems is severely affected by several adverse factors, such as atmospheric turbulence, fog-induced absorption, and pointing errors, all of which result in performance deterioration drastically. This study proposes a multi-UAV optical communication system to suppress the influence of the foggy channel and pointing error impairments under atmospheric turbulence with a Málaga distribution, with both amplify-and-forward (AF) and decode-and-forward (DF) protocols, respectively. Specifically, some critical statistical expressions, such as probability and cumulative density functions, were derived, which were employed to assess the performance metrics, including outage probability, average bit error rate, and ergodic capacity. Additionally, these performance metrics obtained through theoretical analysis in the presence of atmospheric turbulence, fog absorption, and pointing errors were corroborated by Monte Carlo simulations. Finally, the performance indicators under AF and DF relay protocols were compared.","PeriodicalId":13204,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Photonics Journal","volume":"16 6","pages":"1-16"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10737147","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142672129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Simulation has been carried out to investigate the dependence of DMA on the structure of the RI modified waveguide, and experiments have been implemented to investigate the dependence of DMA on discharge parameters, which matches well with the simulated tendency. In addition, CCD measurements of all three output ports have been performed on the fabricated devices, well-defined mode field patterns and high mode purity at the C-band can be observed.

In this study, we develop a method in which a novel polymer-stabilized liquid crystal screen (PSLCS) was used to display images for efficient speckle suppression while preserving the coherence and high brightness of lasers. The scattering-induced fluctuations in the intensity of the light reflected from the PSLCS are evaluated to reveal decorrelation variation. The optimal parameters for suppressing speckles and obtaining a clear and high-resolution image via both laser projection and AR imaging are identified by adjusting the driving parameters. A speckle suppression efficiency of 67.34%, which exceeds that achieved by other similar methods, was achieved without using any additional optical elements. An experiment was implemented for verifying the performance of multi-plane AR imaging by a PSLCS, which, to our knowledge, is the first study to investigate the image quality and speckle suppression effect in AR imaging.
