Research Progress of Three‐Terminal Perovskite/Silicon Tandem Solar Cells Based on Back‐Contact Silicon

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells offer efficiencies beyond 30%, yet conventional architectures face trade‐offs between optical performance and current matching. Three‐terminal tandems employing silicon back‐contact bottom cells eliminate the current‐matching constraint while minimizing optical losses, offering superior energy yield under real ...

High Cooling Rate for LRE123 Stoichiometry Control in Preparation of High‐Tc Bulk Superconductors

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This review presents the cooling‐rate‐control melt‐growth (CRCMG) method as an effective strategy for regulating LRE123 cation stoichiometry. By accelerating the cooling rate during crystallization, oxygen vacancies are increased in the growing lattice, which suppresses LRE3+/Ba2+ substitution and yields near‐ideal 1:2:3 stoichiometry with enhanced ...

Switchable Privacy Displays: Applications, Optical Measurements, and Evaluation With Focus on Automotive

Journal of the Society for Information Display, EarlyView.
Switchable‐privacy displays can be used to protect sensitive data in public spaces and to avoid driver distraction on codriver displays. The key optical parameters are the luminance in public and privacy modes, measured over the viewing angle, and the image quality for the intended observers.

Near‐Infrared Polarimetric Imaging With Nonlinear Flat‐Optics

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A compact and broadband polarimetric imaging platform is presented, based on second‐harmonic generation (SHG) in nonlinear flat‐optics. The system employs periodic all‐dielectric AlGaAs gratings to induce polarization‐dependent SH emission, enabling pixel by pixel direct retrieval of the full Stokes vector from an input intensity distribution ...

Tunable Terahertz Generation in Dispersion‐Engineered ZnTe Waveguides

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
A dispersion‐engineered Zinc Telluride (ZnTe) slab waveguide platform enables tunable and efficient guided‐wave terahertz (THz) generation through modal phase matching. By tailoring the optical and THz modal dispersion, coherent THz emission is achieved across 0.1–3 THz.
