In this Letter, the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) signal of early breast cancer (BRC) patient serum is obtained by a composite silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) PSi Bragg reflector SERS substrate. Based on these advantages,

We propose and demonstrate a novel scheme of semi-open-loop polarization control (SOL-PC), which controls the state of polarization (SOP) with high accuracy and uniform high speed. For any desired SOP, we first adjust the initial

We propose here a novel method for position fixing in the micron scale by combining the convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture and speckle patterns generated in a multimode fiber. By varying the splice offset between a si

Photonic waveguide arrays provide a simple and versatile platform for simulating conventional topological systems. Here, we investigate a novel one-dimensional (1D) topological band structure, a dimer chain, consisting of silicon

We demonstrate absorption spectroscopy of water vapor for the determination of gas temperature. An adaptive dual-comb detection system is utilized to obtain precise spectroscopic data in a broadband range from 7143 to 7240 cm?1 wi

In this work, SF6 as a Raman-active medium is investigated to generate a multispectral Raman laser by the combination of cascade stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) and four wave mixing. The Raman frequency comb from the 10th-order

The unamplified spontaneous emission (SE) is one of the important physical processes of the light–matter interaction in a diode laser in terms of Einstein’s theory. The recent research on a kind of new indium-rich cluster (IRC) la

The ultimate capacity of a cladding-pumped 10/130 Tm:fiber is experimentally investigated with a 793 nm laser diode bidirectionally pumped amplifier. The laser system works stably at the output powers of 52 W, 65 W, and 87 W. Even

Laser-induced discharge plasmas (LDPs) have the potential to be inspection and metrology sources in extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. An LDP EUV source was developed to avoid tin electrode erosion in which a tin pool was used

To introduce ordered nano-structures inside a transparent amorphous matrix with superior optical and mechanical properties bears scientific and technological importance, yet limited success has been achieved. Here, via simple melt

A high repetition rate, picosecond terahertz (THz) parametric amplifier with a LiNbO3 (LN) crystal has been demonstrated in this work. At a 10 kHz repetition rate, a peak power of 200 W and an average power of 12 μW have been obta

In order to achieve the accurate measurement of displacement, this Letter presents a self-mixing interference displacement measurement method suitable for the speckle effect. Because of the speckle effect, the amplitude of the sel

A polarization-insensitive plasmonic absorber is designed consisting of Au fishnet structures on a TiO2 spacer/Ag mirror. The fishnet structures excite localized surface plasmon and generate hot electrons from the absorbed photons

Quantum walks, a counterpart of classical random walks, have many applications due to their neoteric features. Since they were first proposed, quantum walks have been explored in many fields theoretically and have also been demons
