To delve into ultrafast phenomena, the development of high-energy, highly tunable light sources is instrumental. Here, the photoelectric effect is a pivotal tool for dissecting electron correlations and system structures. Particularly, above-threshold ionization (ATI), characterized by the simultaneous absorption of several photons leading to a final electron energy well above the ionization threshold, has been widely explored, both theoretically and experimentally. ATI decouples laser field effects from the structural information carried by photoelectrons, particularly when utilizing ultrashort pulses. In this contribution, we study ATI driven by polarization-crafted (PC) pulses, which offer precise scanning over the electron momentum, through an accurate change of the polarization state. PC pulses enable the manipulation of photoelectron momentum distributions, opening up new avenues for understanding and harnessing coherent light.

The results show that such method is markedly superior to the traditional method due to advantages of the deep neural network. The former possesses the ability to obtain a parsimonious model with high accuracy and insensitivity to data noise, and can successfully discover the underlying GPEs that BECs should obey directly from the data even in the absence of a knowledge structure.

This sensor allows for the sensing detection of the refractive index (RI) of the analyte ranging from 1.30 to 1.42. However, the sensor coated with a micro-opening gold film only achieves an average wavelength sensitivity of 1489 nm/RIU in the x-polarization direction. To improve the performance of the sensor, an attempt was made to replace the micro-opening gold film with MoO<sub>2</sub> nanofilm. After simulation calculation, it was found that the RI detection range of the sensor using MoO<sub>2</sub> nanofilm became 1.33–1.39. Excitingly, the average wavelength sensitivity in the x-polarized direction reaches 17, 178 nm/RIU, which is 11.5 times better than the original sensor. This implies that the sensor is more sensitive to changes in the RI and can provide more accurate sensing and detection results. It has been demonstrated that the performance of a D-type PCF sensor can be significantly improved by using MoO<sub>2</sub> nanofilm. This improvement helps to expand the application domain of sensors and enhance the accuracy of sensing detection.
