Mohammadi Estakhri","doi":"10.3389/fphot.2023.1193479","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fphot.2023.1193479","url":null,"abstract":"In this work, we investigate a class of planar photonic structures operating as passive thermoregulators. The radiative cooling process is adjusted through the incorporation of a phase change material (Vanadium Dioxide, VO2) in conjunction with a layer of transparent conductive oxide (Aluminum-doped Zinc Oxide, AZO). VO2 is known to undergo a phase transition from the “dielectric” phase to the “plasmonic” or “metallic” phase at a critical temperature close to 68°C. In addition, AZO shows plasmonic properties at the long-wave infrared spectrum, which, combined with VO2, provides a rich platform to achieve low reflections across the atmospheric transparency window, as demanded in radiative cooling applications, while also maintaining a compact size. Using numerical analysis, we study two classes of patterned and non-patterned compact multilayer metal-dielectric-metal metasurfaces, aiming to maximize the overall absorption in the first atmospheric transparency window (8–13 µm) while maintaining a high reflection across the solar spectrum (0.3–2.5 µm). Surfaces are initially designed based on a round of coarse optimization and further improved through analyzing the impact of geometric parameters such as size and periodicity of the metasurface elements. Our findings are relevant to applications in thermal regulation systems and passive radiative cooling of high-temperature devices, such as electronic elements.","PeriodicalId":73099,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in photonics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49654859","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}

Over the past 30 years, semiconductor laser dynamics have undergone significant development. Rich dynamical phenomena, such as periodic oscillation, low-frequency fluctuation, spiking, chaos, and synchronization have each been detected. Notably, semiconductor laser dynamics have been incorporated into a significant number of applications, such as secure communication, optical measurement, microwave generation, and photonic information processing. In line with the ongoing development of semiconductor lasers and their updated application requirements, research focused on laser dynamics and its applications will continue to expand, introducing novel devices and methods. This Research Topic comprise three articles, which provide insight into the state of the art of semiconductor laser dynamics. Xiao et al. report a chaotic microlaser without any external perturbations. The physical mechanism of the chaos generation originates from the internal mode interaction of nearly degenerate modes. Based on this self-chaotic laser source, physical random number generation as fast as 10 Gb/s is successfully demonstrated. On the other hand, Chomet et al. present a spontaneous mode locking laser without any saturable absorbers. Continuous wave generation of picosecond pulses at a rate of 100 GHz is demonstrated, and the timing jitter of the pulse trains is as low as 110 fs. Through a theoretical model analysis, the physical mechanism is attributed to the interplay between self-phase modulation and anomalous dispersion together with light-matter interaction-induced time symmetry breaking. In addition, Roos et al. discuss the spontaneous emission noise resilience of the phase locked operation of delay-coupled nanolasers. The numerical result reveals that a polarization dephasing time of two to three times the cavity photon lifetime maximizes the system’s ability to remain phase-locked in the presence of noise-induced perturbations. The strong parameter dependence of the noise tolerance is helpful for the design of robust on-chip integrated networks of nanolasers.

While the mid-IR analysis of gas-samples is already a mature discipline, the spectroscopy of liquids is still in its infancy. However, it is a rapidly developing field of research, set to fundamentally change our knowledge of dynamical processes of molecules in liquid-phase. In this field, mid-IR plasmonics has emerged as breakthrough concept for miniaturization, enabling highly-sensitive and -selective liquid measurement tools. In this review, we give an overview over current trends and recent developments in the field of mid-IR spectroscopy of molecules in liquid phase. Special attention is given to plasmon-enhanced concepts that allow measurements in highly compact sensor schemes. Nowadays, they reach full monolithic integration, including laser, interaction section and detector on the same chip, demonstrating unprecedented operation in situ and real-time analysis of chemical processes.","PeriodicalId":73099,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in photonics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46957336","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}

These materials, thanks to the presence of a photonic bandgap, exhibit the advantages of random and ordered structures since they have been shown to support in a small spatial footprint a high density of Anderson-localized modes, which naturally occur at the bandgap edges with peculiar features like relatively high Q/V ratios. Different localization behaviors have been recently reported in hyperuniform disordered luminescent materials, with a well-established and widely studied design, based on disordered networks. Here, we explore an alternative design, based on circular holes of different sizes hyperuniformely distributed, that we investigate theoretically and experimentally by means of scanning near-field optical microscopy. We report that the spectral features of hyperuniform disordered networks can also be extended to a different design, which, in turn, displays pseudo-photonic bandgaps and light localization. The ability of generating different kinds of hyperuniform disordered photonic systems that share the same theoretical and experimental optical features can largely extend practical potentialities and integration in many optoelectronic applications.","PeriodicalId":73099,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in photonics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46765136","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}

While there have been studies exploiting HPC’s structural coloration and transferring the cholesteric order of the solutions into solid form via cross-linking, there is still lack of understanding on the thermotropic mechanisms that enable the transfer of the structural ordering of the pure HPC at higher temperatures. In this work, we demonstrate the balance between the temperature, humidity, and film thickness to achieve a full color palette of pure HPC. We reveal that at the early stages of the evaporation, formation of a dense skin over the lyotropic phase facilitates the thermal expansion of the HPC during the heat treatment. Increasing the thickness, applying higher drying temperatures, and exposing the samples to higher humidity during the evaporation all result with increased pitch values that cause a red-shift in coloration in the solid state. Our analysis of the HPC samples dried in controlled temperature and humidity conditions at a fixed thickness provided an understanding of the dominance of the thermal expansion which drives the final structural organization in the solid cholesteric phase. When the thickness of the films was varied against fixed temperature and humidity conditions, the color shift from red to violet follows the thickness gradient of the sample due to the change in the drying time required to reach the solid form.","PeriodicalId":73099,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in photonics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47950581","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}
