This paper presents a simple method to recover phase information from regions of unresolvable fringe density, specifically, at the camera corners, where interference fringes are not resolved by the camera using Phase Shifting Interferometry…
We present a characterization of high-speed flows in nonequilibrium thermodynamic conditions using single-shot coherent Rayleigh-Brillouin scattering(CRBS). The technique is applied on a highly underexpanded jet using 200ns laser pulses,…
We present a deterministic framework for three-dimensional beam shaping that enables versatile control of intensity and phase, pixel-by-pixel, across multiple axial planes. Conventional multi-plane holographic techniques typically rely on…
Exciton-photon hybridization is typically realised in geometrically defined optical cavities, where tunability is achieved by modifying either the cavity or the excitonic medium. Here we investigate transition-radiation interferences in…
Time photonic crystals have attracted growing attention in recent years owing to their abilities to enable broadband field enhancements, e.g., free-space electromagnetic waves, dipolar emissions, free-electron radiation, etc. While the…
Microring resonators (MRRs) are indispensable for wavelength filtering, sensing, and on-chip signal routing in photonic integrated circuits, yet visible-wavelength implementations using environmentally benign materials remain scarce. We…
We develop a novel approach to ultrafast optical modulation of quantum-mechanical phenomena at the interface of plasmonic metals. Focusing on efficient and versatile nanoparticle-on-mirror plasmonic nanocavities, we discuss indirect control…

Advancing additive manufacturing, e.g., laser powder-bed fusion (LPBF), requires resolving rapid processes such as melt-pool dynamics and keyhole evolution in 4D (3D + time). Operando X-ray tomography is a state-of-the-art approach for 4D…
Minimizing coating thermal noise is crucial for enhancing gravitational wave detector sensitivity, with a target Amplitude Spectral Density Reduction Factor (ASD RF) of $0.5$ relative to standard coatings. This study investigates the design…
The phenomenon of electron-laser vacuum breakdown is the multiple cascade production of electron-positron pairs in head-on collision of a beam of relativistic electrons with an intense laser pulse. This effect was first predicted by the…
The blue shark (Prionace glauca) exhibits a striking dorsoventral color gradient, transitioning from vibrant blue dorsally to silver and white ventrally, a pattern widely interpreted as pelagic countershading. Despite its ecological…
Antiresonant hollow-core fibres (AR-HCFs) have recently reached attenuation far below the Rayleigh-scattering limit of silica, but their inherently multimode nature remains a major challenge for practical systems requiring high modal…
Collective optical excitations, such as localized surface plasmons in metallic nanoparticles and Mie resonances in high-index dielectrics, play a central role in nanoscale light--matter interactions. When such optical modes interact with…
Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) exhibits strong anisotropic light absorption and high compatibility with photonic integrated chips, making it a promising material for implementing high performance onchip polarization selective devices. The…
Spin-orbit beams, in which the orbital angular momentum degree of freedom is coupled to a two-level system such as polarization of light or spin in electrons and neutrons, have gained significant interest for their unique propagation…
A major issue in exploiting plasmonic cavities as key components in nanotechnology is the effect of radiative and absorption losses on their electrodynamic behavior. Treating them as open-systems, we derive a time-local, completely positive…
Here, we introduce a stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE) formulation driven by temporally correlated noise to describe light propagation beyond the standard Markov approximation. By representing the squared refractive index…
We present a unified quantum open system framework for lossy plasmonic cavities in which coherent dynamics, relaxation, dephasing, and irreversible absorption are treated on equal footing. The Dyson equation for the cavity photon propagator…
We propose a multimodal fusion network (MFN) for precise micro-displacement measurement using a modified Michelson interferometer. The model resolves the intrinsic half-wave displacement ambiguity that limits conventional single-wavelength…
