Diffraction‐Free Natural Optical Skyrmions and Their Subwavelength Confinement Around Vortices

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Diffraction causes waves to spread out as they propagate freely. The tighter the lateral confinement, the faster the spreading. Past research on how to suppress diffraction has been based on wave engineering and has led so far to idealized waves that, in real settings, eventually diffract.

Invariance Properties and Measurement of Correlation Between Two Propagating or Evanescent Waves

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
This work analyses the strength of correlation between two propagating or evanescent plane waves generally expressed in different frames. Interferometric and nanoscattering‐based methods, respectively, are demonstrated for their measurement. The results show that the applied measure of correlation remains invariant under unitary polarization ...

Fabrication‐Tolerant GaAs/SiN Coupling Above the Loss Threshold for Quantum Photonic Applications

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Reliable low‐loss optical coupling between GaAs and SiN waveguides for heterogeneous integration of single‐photon sources is demonstrated. By developing a fabrication‐aware numerical design approach and accounting for experimentally measured fabrication variations and scattering losses, coupling efficiencies meeting the < 10% loss requirement for ...

Transcending the Space‐Bandwidth and Lighting Trade‐Offs: A Programmable Self‐Mixing Interferometry Imager for Cross‐Scale Surface Inspection

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
This work reports a laser diode‐based self‐mixing interferometry imager featuring illumination‐invariance imaging, a 500 kHz pixel rate, and an 8.77 µm lateral resolution. It also features a programmable field‐of‐view and leading space‐bandwidth product that surpasses existing technologies by an order of magnitude, enabling cross‐scale workflow ...

Simultaneous ToF/FMCW LiDAR Using a Dual‐Mode Light Source in a Single Architecture

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
A simultaneous ToF/FMCW LiDAR architecture is demonstrated using a dual‐mode light source that alternately generates optical pulses and frequency‐chirped light within a single acquisition. By combining time‐domain ToF and coherent FMCW ranging, the system achieves high‐resolution ranging and velocity sensing while extending the measurable range beyond ...

Metasurface‐Enabled Single‐Shot Intensity‐and‐Phase‐Interrogation Surface‐Plasmon‐Resonance Microscopy

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
A metasurface‐enabled full‐Stokes polarimeter is integrated with phase‐interrogated surface plasmon resonance microscopy to enable single‐shot recovery of intensity and differential phase. The non‐interferometric platform supports quantitative refractive‐index and thickness mapping, wavelength‐resolved sensing, and dynamic multi‐channel monitoring ...

Particle‐Scale Mechanics of a Regolith‐Type Soil

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The existing studies have reported that the surface of Mars shows the presence of materials having igneous origin, including basalt and regolith‐type coarse soils. These findings are affected by significant uncertainties and, therefore, the selection of simulants for various exploration applications, including surface mobility of rovers ...

Monitoring shallow geothermal aquifers with active‐source distributed acoustic sensing: A prognostic feasibility study on the University of Leeds Geothermal Campus

Near Surface Geophysics, EarlyView.
Abstract The United Kingdom's shallow aquifers offer significant but underdeveloped geothermal energy resource. Seismic methods can help address this by improving the understanding of aquifer heterogeneity and potentially allowing long‐term monitoring of thermal plumes.

Betulinic Acid Enema Alleviates Colitis by Targeting Vitamin D Receptor to Protect the Intestinal Mucosal Barrier and Modulate Mucosa‐Associated Microbiota

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the colon with limited effectiveness and safety of current drug therapies. Betulinic acid (BA) is a naturally occurring pentacyclic triterpenoid present in traditional Chinese medicines used clinically as retention enemas for UC, but its direct effects and mechanisms remain unclear ...
