By categorizing LPBF modeling into distinct types and meticulously analyzing case studies across various length scales, from macroscopic to nanoscopic levels, we introduce novelty in the field by offering a comprehensive perspective on the intricacies of LPBF modeling. Furthermore, our study surpasses a surface-level examination of LPBF characteristics by delving deeply into the methodologies employed for modeling both geometrical and mechanical attributes, thereby introducing novel insights into the methodologies and challenges associated with LPBF modeling. A significant aspect of our review is the identification of gaps in the current body of knowledge, which serves as a foundation for proposing future trends and directions in LPBF modeling, thus introducing novelty to the literature.

In this report, we theoretically show simultaneous generation of high- surface lattice resonances (SLRs) and quasi-bound states in the continuum (quasi-BICs) in single dielectric metasurfaces composed of symmetry-broken unit cells of GaP nanorods surrounded by silica glass. Quite interestingly, there are quasi-BIC with double asymmetry parameters and also the resonance with duality between SLR and symmetry breaking-induced quasi-BIC, in addition to simple SLRs and quasi-BICs. For different polarizations of incident waves, one can obtain multiple high- SLRs and quasi-BICs, which can be used for efficient generation of coherent radiations in the range from visible to mid-infrared by second-harmonic generation (SHG), sum-frequency generation (SFG), and difference-frequency generation (DFG). The numerical results show that mid-infrared radiation at around 14 μm can be directly generated from the dielectric metasurfaces by DFG with an efficiency of about 1.4 × 10 % for pump intensities of 20 MW/cm by pumping at the resonant wavelengths of SLR and quasi-BIC. Besides efficient frequency conversions, coexisting high- SLRs and quasi-BICs in dielectric metasurfaces can also be employed for various photonic applications such as sensitive sensing.","PeriodicalId":19597,"journal":{"name":"Optics & Laser Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141933969","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 use a single-hole dual-core fiber (SHDCF) based Fabry–Pérot interferometer (FPI) to simultaneously detect the refractive index and temperature of solution, with high sensitivity enhanced by the vernier effect. The inlets and outlets are built by splicing C-shaped fiber and fiber capillary between SHDCF. A detection region inside the microscopic hole of SHDCF obtained after splicing is constructed. Our method offers high sensitivities of 6851.89 nm/RIU and 0.493 nm/℃ for RI and temperature in a liquid solution, respectively. Notably, the cross-sensitivity of RI and temperature can be eliminated by constructing a transmission matrix.

The next step towards a high repetition rate generation of stable and high-quality electron beams also requires to measure and monitor in real time and in single-shot the laser parameters, which may be a tough task for fs high-power laser systems. In this article, conducted at the LAPLACIAN LPA facility, we propose a simple way to measure all important laser parameters in real time without disturbing the main beam delivered on target, while ensuring to thwart intrinsic issues such as aberrations and dispersion. The beam leakage from the last mirror, just after the focusing optics, is used and sent towards a dedicated setup where, mainly, the energy, the pulse duration, the FF and NF profile (implying beam pointing and size), the spectrum and the M2 are measured. A prismatic blade has been designed to compensate aberrations introduced during the leakage process, and also chirped mirrors are used to compensate the dispersion. This real-time laser metrology system is fully operational to monitor what is reaching the target, and it should help in the future to have a better understanding on the electron beam generation and its instabilities.","PeriodicalId":19597,"journal":{"name":"Optics & Laser Technology","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141933973","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}

After injection locking for 2 h, the single-sideband (SSB) phase noise of the closed-loop locked decreases by 20 dB compared with the open-loop locked within the offset frequency range of 20 Hz to 30 kHz.

In this paper, a real-time recognition method of machining state by detecting the acoustic emission signal of machining process is proposed. The mapping relationship between the acoustic emission signal of laser-assisted machining of silicon nitride ceramics and the machining state is found.

Despite the rapid development of multiplexed metaholograms through exploiting different physical dimensions of photons such as polarization, amplitude, wavelength, and angular momentum, the multiplexing channel is approaching its limit due to the almost exhausted existing physical dimensions of photons. Here we demonstrate the higher-order Poincaré sphere (HOPS)-multiplexed holography by exploiting vector beam on the HOPS as a new physical dimension for holographic multiplexing. The underlying mechanism relies on independent control of phase shifts in two spin eigenstates to modulate the vector beam induced fields. As proof of concept, we demonstrate a -hologram with four multiplexing channels that exhibit independent holographic images when the incident beams are on the −2nd order, −1st order, 1st order and 2nd order HOPS, respectively. Moreover, leveraging the unique characteristic of HOPS-multiplexed holography, high-security optical anti-counterfeiting and information encryption have been demonstrated as well. Our work harnesses the previously inaccessible vector beams as independent information carries for holographic multiplexing, promising to potential applications in optical display and optical encryption.","PeriodicalId":19597,"journal":{"name":"Optics & Laser Technology","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141881480","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}
