Ultra‐Compact Low‐Loss 3D Glass Waveguide Chip Using Femtosecond Laser Writing Technique
An ultra‐compact, low‐loss fan‐in/fan‐out device for 4‐core fiber is demonstrated using femtosecond laser direct writing. Multi‐scan and overwriting methods are employed to produce low‐loss waveguides. A trench‐assisted offset‐assisted cosine‐shaped model is proposed to reduce bending loss.

DELVE 6: An Ancient, Ultra-faint Star Cluster on the Outskirts of the Magellanic Clouds
We present the discovery of DELVE 6, an ultra-faint stellar system identified in the second data release of the DECam Local Volume Exploration (DELVE) survey. Based on a maximum-likelihood fit to its structure and stellar population, we find that DELVE 6

A triangular cross‐section multimode interference (MMI) coupler, supplemented with S‐bends and adiabatic tapers, is developed for splitting a signal from a single‐core fiber into four cores of a multi‐core fiber. The fabricated proof‐of‐concept splitter features a remarkably short length of 180 µm and insertion loss of around ‐3 dB.

Trimming laser-written waveguides through overwriting [PDF]
Femtosecond laser direct writing is widely used to create waveguide circuits for optical processing in applications including communications, astrophotonics, simulation and quantum information processing. The properties of these waveguide circuits can be

SN 2018ivc is an unusual Type II supernova (SN II). It is a variant of SNe IIL, which might represent a transitional case between SNe IIP with a massive H-rich envelope and SNe IIb with only a small amount of the H-rich envelope.

The Early Light Curve of SN 2023bee: Constraining Type Ia Supernova Progenitors the Apian Way
We present very early photometric and spectroscopic observations of the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2023bee, starting about 8 hr after the explosion, which reveal a strong excess in the optical and nearest UV ( U and UVW1 ) bands during the first several ...

SN 2018aoz is a Type Ia SN with a B -band plateau and excess emission in infant-phase light curves ≲1 day after the first light, evidencing an over-density of surface iron-peak elements as shown in our previous study.

Astronomical photonics in the context of infrared interferometry and high-resolution spectroscopy
We review the potential of Astrophotonics, a relatively young field at the interface between photonics and astronomical instrumentation, for spectro-interferometry.
