Improvement of Detection and Localization Performance Using the Receiving Array Response Difference Between Ocean Noise and Signal in Shallow Water

IEEE Access, 2019
It was observed that when the short vertical line array (SVLA) is located in the deeper part of the water column, where sound velocity is lower, a groove always exists in the receiving array response in the horizontal direction for distant sound sources ...

Large‐Area Flat Optics Color Routing in Tilted Arrays of 2D Semiconductor Nanostripes

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
We develop a scalable flat optics platform exploiting self‐organised ion‐beam sputtering and maskless glancing‐angle deposition to fabricate centimetre‐scale arrays of tilted MoS2 nanostripes. The engineered geometry activates Rayleigh anomalies, guided modes, and Mie resonances, enabling highly directional color routing and enhanced light harvesting ...
