Harnessing cracks in metal films: Design strategies for stretchable conductors

InfoMat, EarlyView.
In stretchable electronics, metal film‐based components function either as strain‐insensitive interconnects/electrodes or as strain‐sensitive sensors, both of which are governed by crack‐induced electromechanical responses, yet these two roles have often been discussed separately in previous reviews.

A Novel Back-to-Back Antenna Design with Dual Vertical Polarization for Enhanced Broadband Performance

International Journal of Emerging Engineering and Technology
The concept of wireless power transmission was first proposed by Nikola Tesla. He suggested that he could transfer power through the air. The radio waves and microwaves in the air are captured by the antenna and transferred to the destination.

Stimulated Forward Brillouin Scattering in Subwavelength Grating Silicon Membranes

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
This work proposes a novel strategy to achieve large Brillouin scattering with independent control of the optical and mechanical modes using subwavelength silicon membranes. We experimentally demonstrate remarkably high Brillouin gain, resulting in an on/off Stokes gain of 3 dB and anti‐Stokes loss of 4 dB in a 6 mm‐long waveguide with 35 mW of on‐chip

Ultrahigh‐Order Harmonic Mode‐Locked Optoelectronic Oscillator

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
This article demonstrates a record‐breaking microwave frequency comb generator using an ultrahigh‐harmonic‐order mode‐locked optoelectronic oscillator. By integrating dual recirculating loops into a low‐coherence system, the researchers achieved a harmonic order of 956 with superior noise suppression.

Ultra‐Fast and Energy‐Efficient PZT Optical Tunable Delay Lines for Programmable Photonic Systems

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Thin‐film PZT enables optical tunable delay lines that simultaneously offer sub‐nanosecond switching, low propagation loss, and zero‐static‐power programmability. A five‐bit on‐chip delay line provides a maximum delay of 387.5 ps with a resolution of 12.5 ps, while reconfigurable MZI splitting ratios further enable non‐volatile optical arbitrary ...
