Apart from the lack of a well-defined sensing volume, these structures suffer from the generally limited access to the modal field, which is one key aspect for sensing performance. Recently, a novel strategy for dielectric nanophotonics has been demonstrated, namely, the resonant confinement of light in air. So-called Mie voids created in high-index dielectric host materials support localized resonant modes with exceptional properties. In particular, these structures benefit from the full access to the modal field confined strongly inside the void. We utilize these Mie voids for refractive index sensing in single voids with volumes down to 100 attoliters and sensitivities on the order of 400 nm per refractive index unit. Taking the noise of our measurements into account, we demonstrate detection of refractive index changes as small as 1 × 10–3 in a defined volume of just 390 attoliters. The combination of our Mie void sensor platform with appropriate surface functionalization will even enable specificity to biological or other analytes of smallest volumes while maintaining said sensitivity.","PeriodicalId":23,"journal":{"name":"ACS Photonics","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144479354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The spiking convolutional neural network (SCNN) is a prominent type of model within the realm of neuromorphic computing. Adapting SCNNs to photonic neuromorphic hardware holds great promise for significantly increasing the computation speed and fully leveraging its low energy consumption. In this paper, we develop an end-to-end design framework of photonic SCNN. We present the design of a SCNN tailored for a photonic platform utilizing distributed feedback lasers with a saturable absorber (DFB-SA laser) as the photonic spiking neurons. We also introduce hardware implementations for key computational steps in photonic SCNNs, including the nonlinear activation function, the convolutional layer, the fully connected layer, and the max-pooling layer. Additionally, a hardware-aware training method is proposed. Furthermore, we apply the designed network to classify the MNIST, Fashion-MNIST, and CIFAR-10 datasets, achieving accuracies of 96.52%, 90.48%, and 88.45%, respectively, in simulations on the test sets. And we experimentally validate the nonlinear activation function in the MNIST dataset classification task using the DFB-SA laser, achieving a classification accuracy of 96.06%. This study introduces a novel approach to deploying neural networks on hardware, presenting a portable, modular hardware simulation model and training method. This model is anticipated to be seamlessly integrated into the future hardware–software co-design of large-scale photonic SCNNs.

However, the severe attenuation of DUV signals in the atmosphere demands photodetectors with ultralow noise and high sensitivity to resolve weak optical signals. Here, we report a breakthrough in β-Ga2O3-based n-Barrier-n (nBn) unipolar heterostructure photodetectors that synergistically address these challenges. By employing a β-Ga2O3/LaAlO3/Nb:SrTiO3 heterojunction fabricated via laser molecular beam epitaxy, we engineer a large conduction band offset and near-zero valence band offset, creating a unipolar electron transport channel that suppresses dark current to subpicoampere levels (<1 pA). The device exhibits exceptional performance metrics: a responsivity of 853.6 A/W, an external quantum efficiency of 4.2 × 105%, and a record-low noise-equivalent power (NEP) of 0.7 ± 0.1 fW/Hz1/2─surpassing state-of-the-art DUV detectors. These advancements are attributed to the high dielectric constant (∼24) and lattice compatibility of LaAlO3 with Nb:SrTiO3, which minimize interfacial defects and enhance carrier confinement. This work not only establishes a new paradigm for Ga2O3-based optoelectronics but also provides a universal design strategy for high-sensitivity, low-noise photodetectors in photon-starved environments, with transformative potential for deep-space communication and ultraviolet astronomy.","PeriodicalId":23,"journal":{"name":"ACS Photonics","volume":"247 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144370869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we demonstrate switchable coupling between localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs) and three-dimensionally (3D) confined WGMs in an optoplasmonic system composed of a single gold nanorod and a microtubular cavity. The photon–plasmon coupling is efficiently switched between an “ON” and “OFF” state by tuning the excitation of the LSPR to match or mismatch the WGMs, where spectral match and spatial overlap play crucial roles. This switching phenomenon is indicated by the observations of spectral energy shifts, intensity variations, and spatial redistributions of the 3D confined WGMs. To explain the observed results, a deformed potential well model is introduced based on perturbation theory, where the polarizability and enhanced electric field induced by the single plasmonic nanorod are considered. The present work provides a convenient way to manipulate the photon–plasmon coupling in a hybrid optoplasmonic system, paving the way for controllable light–matter interactions and opening up promising applications in future subwavelength photonic technologies.","PeriodicalId":23,"journal":{"name":"ACS Photonics","volume":"147 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144340985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the lack of a robust physical model to disentangle the significant influence of refractive index, density, and, most critically, water content on the Brillouin signal limits its applicability and widespread adoption in complex heterogeneous materials. To address this limitation, a novel Brillouin–Raman correlative microscopy approach is proposed and demonstrated on single cells. In particular, the effects of paraformaldehyde fixation on the morphological, mechanical, and chemical properties of HEK293T cells were investigated. Following fixation, an unexpected decrease in stiffness was observed, accompanied by compositional changes detected via Raman spectroscopy. By modeling cells as biphasic systems, consisting of water and dry mass, the hydration could be decoupled from the stiffness measurements. This approach represents a significant advance in biomechanical analysis, enabling the reliable interpretation of Brillouin data and facilitating the three-dimensional micromechanical characterization of biological materials. Furthermore, it has wide-ranging potential applications in biological research, particularly in contexts where hydration plays a fundamental role, paving the way for novel insights into the diagnosis and analysis of biomedical samples.","PeriodicalId":23,"journal":{"name":"ACS Photonics","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144335222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This effect lies in the origin of various applications including signal processing, noise reduction, unidirectional propagation, and sensing. Here, we show that propagation of Surface Plasmons (SP) within a structure having a false chirality exhibits a nonreciprocity. The SP waves propagating in opposite directions within the structure acquire opposite Pancharatnam–Berry (PB) phases. To detect this phase difference, we introduce a novel interferometric technique based on a customized Sagnac setup. The main advantages of our proposed system are high sensitivity to nonreciprocal phase changes, high precision incidence angle alignment, and the inspection of the k-space enabled by sufficiently wide range of incidence angles. We believe that a pivotal role of the nonreciprocity and its detection in numerous physical and chemical processes suggests a wide range of practical applications as well as deeper scientific insights.","PeriodicalId":23,"journal":{"name":"ACS Photonics","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144335223","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
