The rotational Doppler effect of structured light carrying orbital angular momentum has shown great potential for measuring angular velocity. However, when the angular velocity varies, a chirped intensity signal is generated, and the frequency spectrum of traditional RDE analysis broadens, which hinders the accurate extraction of velocity or acceleration information. To address this challenge, fractional rotational Doppler frequency analysis was introduced to measure angular acceleration in cases of variable velocity motion illuminated by conjugate vortex beams. Experimental results demonstrate that fractional rotational Doppler frequency analysis not only effectively handles time- varying signals from accelerating objects, but also exhibits strong resistance to environmental noise and atmospheric turbulence.

In particular, integrating ferroelectricity with altermagnetism to enable magnetoelectric coupling and electric control of spin has drawn significant attention.

Here, by focusing on molecular ferroelectrics, the first discovered ferroelectrics renowned for their highly controllable molecular polarizations and structural flexibility, we reveal that these obstacles can be removed by an emergent multiferroic altermagnet with tunable spin polarization in a large class of fabricated organic materials. Using a symmetry-based design and a tight-binding model, we uncover the underlying mechanism of such molecular ferroelectric altermagnets and demonstrate how noncollinear molecular polarization can switch the spin polarization on and off and even reverse its sign, as detectable by the magneto-optical Kerr effect. From the first-principles calculations, we verify the feasibility of these materials in a series of well-established hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites and metal-organic frameworks.

As a case study, we cross-match strong lens candidates identified from the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program with Data Release 1 (DR1) of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI). We find that DESI DR1 serendipitously observed putative lenses and/or lensed images in approximately 50% of these candidates.
