Wood‐Derived Nanocellulose‐Biocarbon Fresnel‐Zone Plate Lenses for Sub‐THz Frequency Applications

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Wood‐derived nanocellulose and lignin‐based biocarbon were combined to fabricate fully bio‐based Fresnel zone plate (FZP) lenses for sub‐terahertz frequencies. These sustainable FZP lenses exhibit low dielectric loss and high directivity, achieving performance comparable to that of metallic references, and remain functional under environmental stress ...

Free Space Optical Communication Systems [PDF]

, 2009
The main advantage of using optical frequencies in free-space communication systems is the high directivity of the propagating optical beam. (In the context of this chapter, the term “free space” refers to unguided optical communications; exoatmospheric environments are referred to as “space.”) When transmitted from an antenna, electromagnetic waves ...

All-optical retro-modulation for free-space optical communication

Optics Express, 2018
This work presents device and system architectures for free-space optical and optical wireless communication at high data rates over multidirectional links. This is particularly important for all-optical networks, with high data rates, low latencies, and network protocol transparency, and for asymmetrical networks, with multidirectional links from one ...

Spacer‐Less Substrate‐Integrated Metasurface for Near‐Unity Terahertz Absorption

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although conventional metal‐insulator‐metal (MIM) terahertz (THz) absorbers can provide near‐unity absorption, their multilayer stacks inevitably introduce additional thickness, mass, and residual stress, which limit their compatibility with THz thermal sensing platforms.

Mono‐ and Bilayer MoS2 Photodetectors: High‐Performance Broadband AC Readout With Color‐Selective Noise Suppression

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Mono‐ and bilayer MoS2 photodetectors enable wavelength‐selective AC photoresponse and optically driven capacitance modulation under visible illumination. Green excitation produces the strongest cumulative capacitive response, consistent with trap‐mediated charge accumulation at mono/bilayer and metal–MoS2 interfaces.

Self‐Powered Visible‐Blind Graphene/NiO/ZnO UV‐C Photodiodes

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
“A scalable architecture for self‐powered UV‐C photodiodes integrates defect‐engineered p‐NiO/n‐ZnO heterojunctions with highly UV‐C transparent graphene anodes. The type‐II band alignment combined with the built‐in electrical field enables robust zero‐bias charge separation.

GeSn Quantum Wells for Room‐Temperature Mid‐Infrared Lasing on Si and on Insulator Platforms

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates a high‐performance GeSn‐on‐Insulator (GeSnOI) platform achieving laser emission up to room temperature. By utilizing Group IV GeSn quantum well heterostructures, we successfully reached a target wavelength of 3.3 µm. This advancement paves the way for fully integrated Mid‐IR photonic CMOS‐compatible sources, overcoming the ...

Optical Manipulation of Whispering Gallery Mode Microlasers for Controlled Cellular Delivery

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Optically trapped whispering‑gallery microlasers are precisely positioned onto non‐phagocytic mammalian cells to report local refractive‑index changes in real time. Time‑dependent wavelength shifts reveal successive stages from membrane contact to internalization.
