Guiding light by and beyond the total internal reflection mechanism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
This thesis reports a series of techniques the author has developed to model various waveguiding structures, including the conventional planar and channel waveguides working by, and the advanced structures working beyond the TIR mechanism.

Mode Bifurcation and Fold Points of Complex Dispersion Curves for the Metamaterial Goubau Line

open access: yes, 2009
In this paper the complex dispersion curves of the four lowest-order transverse magnetic modes of a dielectric Goubau line ($\epsilon>0, \mu>0$) are compared with those of a dispersive metamaterial Goubau line.

FEM investigation of leaky modes in hollow core photonic crystal fibers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Hollow-core holey fibers are promising candidates for low-loss guidance of light in various applications, e.g., for the use in laser guide star adaptive optics systems in optical astronomy.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Optical Absorption Characteristic in Thin a-Si Film Embedded Between an Ultrathin Metal Grating and a Metal Reflector

open access: yesIEEE Photonics Journal, 2013
We numerically investigated the effect of an optically ultrathin top metal grating in an absorber structure composed of an amorphous silicon (a-Si) thin film and a metal reflector for efficient solar cells.

Bend-resistant leaky multi-trench fiber with large mode area and single-mode operation. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
A novel structure of modified multi-trench fiber (MTF) with characteristics of bend-resistance and large mode-area is proposed. In this structure, each low refractive-index trench of traditional MTF is broken by two gaps up and down.

Establishment of a humanized patient‐derived xenograft mouse model of high‐grade serous ovarian cancer for preclinical evaluation of combination immunotherapy

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We have established a humanized orthotopic patient‐derived xenograft (Hu‐oPDX) mouse model of high‐grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) that recapitulates human tumor–immune interactions. Using combined anti‐PD‐L1/anti‐CD73 immunotherapy, we demonstrate the model's improved biological relevance and enhanced translational value for preclinical ...

Model of light collimation by photonic crystal surface modes

open access: yes, 2007
We propose a quantitative model explaining the mechanism of light collimation by leaky surface modes that propagate on a corrugated surface around the output of a photonic crystal waveguide.

Dapagliflozin prevents methylglyoxal‐induced retinal cell death in ARPE‐19 cells

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Diabetic macular oedema is a diabetes complication of the eye, which may lead to permanent blindness. ARPE‐19 are human retinal cells used to study retinal diseases and potential therapeutics. Methylglyoxal is a compound increased in uncontrolled diabetes due to elevated blood glucose.

Analysis of Leaky Modes in Photonic Crystal Fibers Using the Surface Integral Equation Method

open access: yesCrystals, 2018
A fully vectorial algorithm based on the surface integral equation method for the modelling of leaky modes in photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) by solely solving the complex propagation constants of characteristic equations is presented.
