Opportunities of Semiconducting Oxide Nanostructures as Advanced Luminescent Materials in Photonics
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.The review discusses the challenges of wide and ultrawide bandgap semiconducting oxides as a suitable material platform for photonics. They offer great versatility in terms of tuning microstructure, native defects, doping, anisotropy, and micro‐ and nano‐structuring. The review focuses on their light emission, light‐confinement in optical cavities, and

Photon recycling in Fabry-Perot micro-cavities based on Si$_3$N$_4$ waveguides
, 2005 We present a numerical analysis and preliminary experimental results on one-dimensional Fabry-Perot micro-cavities in Si$_3$N$_4$ waveguides. The Fabry-Perot micro-cavities are formed by two distributed Bragg reflectors separated by a straight portion of

Directional Flow of Confined Polaritons in CrSBr
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.CrSBr, a layered magnetic semiconductor, naturally channels self‐hybridized excitonpolaritons into highly directional flow. Its intrinsic optical anisotropy, high refractive index, and strong lightmatter coupling enable long‐range guided modes along the a‐axis, with propagation lengths set by their excitonphoton admixture.

Experimental demonstration of a temporal pulse shaping method based on nonlinear chirp [PDF]
EPJ Web of ConferencesWe present a general temporal shaping method based on spectral phase-only modulation for ultrafast laser sources. We explain the working principle of this technique and use it experimentally to generate a ramp-shaped pulse at the output of a laser source

Estimation precision of degree of polarization in the presence of signal-dependent and additive Poisson noises [PDF]
Journal of the European Optical Society-Rapid Publications, 2008 We address precision of estimation of the degree of polarization (DOP) from the orthogonal state contrast image (OSCI) in the presence of both signal-dependent Poisson noise due to useful signal, and additive Poisson noise due to dark current and / or ...

Integrating Vibrio natriegens for Photon Manipulation in Living Lighting Devices
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Rationalization of genetic and material engineering tools has enabled the engineering of fluorescent Vibrio natriegens (V. natriegens) to fabricate straightforward, highly emissive and stable V. natriegens‐silicones color filters for the first red‐emitting bacteria‐hybrid light‐emitting diodes. This pinpoints V. natriegens as a high‐performance protein
