A key parameter underlying the existence of sonoluminescence (SL)is the time relative to SL at which acoustic energy is radiated from the collapsed bubble. Light scattering is one route to this quantity. We disagree with the statement of…

Polarised light is critical for a wide range of applications, but is usually generated by filtering unpolarised light, which leads to significant energy losses and requires additional optics. Herein, the direct emission of…
Scattering imaging is often hindered by extremely low signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) due to the prevalence of scattering noise. Light field imaging has been shown to be effective in suppressing noise and collect more ballistic photons as…
