#Routing valley exciton emission of a monolayer via in-plane inversion-symmetry broken PhC slabs

“#Routing valley exciton emission of a monolayer via in-plane inversion-symmetry broken PhC slabs” a, PhC slabs with C4 symmetry and without in-plane inversion symmetry. By breaking the in-plane inversion symmetry, the polarization states of PhC can cover entire Poincaré sphere’s two poles. b, Illustration of photoluminescence of WS2 monolayer on the PhC slab without in-plane…

#Lensless light-field imaging through diffuser encoding

“#Lensless light-field imaging through diffuser encoding” A diffuser is placed at a small distance in front of a sensor so that a temporally incoherent point source in the detectable field-of-view generates a high-contrast pseudorandom pattern. The elementary sub-beams, represented by their center light rays, are angularly encoded in the pattern Credit: Zewei Cai, Jiawei Chen,…

#Plasma guides maintain focus of lasers

“#Plasma guides maintain focus of lasers” Lasers are used to create an indestructible optical fiber out of plasma. Credit: Intense Laser-Matter Interactions Lab, University of Maryland In science fiction, firing powerful lasers looks easy—the Death Star can just send destructive power hurtling through space as a tight beam. But in reality, once a powerful laser…

#OCT-based technique captures subtle details of photoreceptor function

“#OCT-based technique captures subtle details of photoreceptor function” Researchers have developed a unique synchronized high-speed OCT/scanning light ophthalmoscope (SLO) system that captures the function of the retina’s rods and cones. The OCT images are co-registered with SLO images to pinpoint the location and type of photoreceptors captured in the series of 3D OCT images. The…
