Waveguide Geometry–Driven Trade‐Offs in Resonant Cavity Sensor Performance
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.Waveguide geometry governs the interplay between sensitivity, intrinsic Q‐factor, and wavelength noise in silicon nitride resonant sensors. Contrary to intuition, higher sensitivity does not ensure superior performance. Low‐noise, high‐Q ridge resonators achieve the lowest detection limits, revealing that detection is ultimately constrained by noise ...

Machine Learning Enables Inverse Design of Optically Driven Microscopic Metavehicles
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.Machine‐learning‐based inverse design is used optimize “metavehicles” — flat microparticles based on metagratings that generate a strong lateral optical force from normally incident light. The optimized design exhibits a force efficiency of ∼88% and a measured propulsion speed in water much higher than previously reported, demonstrating that inverse ...
