Experimental Joint Estimation of Phase and Phase Diffusion Via Deterministic Bell Measurements

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work employs Bell measurement, a form of entangling measurement, to estimate both the phase and its fluctuations in an optical interferometer. By incorporating a novel quantum effect at the measurement stage, the proposed method achieves the ultimate precision limit and demonstrates the significant potential of entangling measurements in multi ...

Observation of Edge‐Confined Acoustic Hyperbolic Polaritons in van der Waals Materials

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates a new type of light wave—edge‐confined acoustic hyperbolic polaritons—in hexagonal boron nitride on gold. These waves travel along crystal edges with nanoscale confinement and strongly interact with molecular vibrations, enabling highly sensitive detection of tiny molecular layers.

Sagnac Interferometer Enhanced Particle Tracking in Optical Tweezers

, 2010
A setup is proposed to enhance tracking of very small particles, by using optical tweezers embedded within a Sagnac interferometer. The achievable signal-to-noise ratio is shown to be enhanced over that for a standard optical tweezers setup.

Ultraviolet Photodetectors Based on 4H‐SiC With Honeycomb‐Like Light‐Trapping Structures

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A facile photoelectrochemical etching method creates honeycomb‐like light‐trapping microstructures on SiC. These microstructures suppress UV reflection and enhance absorption by extending the optical path and facilitating multiple internal reflections, while strengthening the local electric field.
