Tunable Multifunctional Terahertz Coding Metasurface for Polarization Manipulation

open access: yesAdvanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.
Coding metasurfaces (CMs) offer versatile control over electromagnetic waves. Herein, a tunable multifunctional terahertz (THz) metasurface integrated with vanadium dioxide (VO2) is presented, enabling propagation‐phase manipulation of linearly polarized waves and hybrid‐phase control of circularly polarized waves.

From Rigid to Soft Robotic Approaches for Neuroendoscopy

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Robotic assistance has had minimal impact on deep intraventricular surgeries, where small‐scale, precision, and reduced invasiveness can contribute to improved patient outcomes. Emerging technologies in rigid, soft, and hybrid robotics are reviewed to identify the most promising mechanisms for deep brain navigation in addition to an attempt to identify

A Proof‐of‐Concept Assessment of a Novel Wearable Eyelid Muscle Device: A Pre‐Clinical Animal Cadaver Study for Eyelid Closure Restoration

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This article introduces a soft wearable eyelid sling device incorporating a hydraulic soft artificial muscle (SAM) for achieving complete closure of an eyelid. The SAM is driven by a cam mechanism that provides a displacement profile closely matched with those of a healthy eyelid.

Pseudo mode-locking

Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics, 2020
A new mode-locking mechanism is discussed that solely relies on four-wave mixing and does not require a saturable absorber. This mechanism explains a number of previously reported peculiar findings of self-modelocking and comb formation.

Asynchronous soliton mode locking

Optics Letters, 1994
We report a harmonically mode-locked erbium-doped fiber ring laser with short solitons. A phase modulator running asynchronously with the pulses provides pulse start-up, continuous background cleanup, and a new form of pulse timing stabilization. Steady-state operation of picosecond solitons at a repetition rate of 1 GHz was obtained with no need for ...

Kerr lens mode locking

Optics Letters, 1992
Self-focusing in conjunction with an intracavity aperture creates a power-dependent amplitude modulation in laser oscillators, which allows passive mode locking. A simple analytical formalism yields closed-form expressions for the depth of passive amplitude modulation introduced by either the spatial gain profile or a hard aperture inserted in the ...

Pseudo mode-locking

2021 Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics Europe & European Quantum Electronics Conference (CLEO/Europe-EQEC), 2021
During the last decade, self mode-locking and resulting comb formation have emerged from a controversially discussed anomaly to a hot topic in semiconductor laser physics. Initial experimental reports claimed mode-locking in a cavity lacking the stabilizing action of a saturable absorber [1] .

Mode locking in quasicrystals

Physical Review B, 1989
Possible modulated structures of icosahedral quasicrystals are investigated. The modulated phases are regarded as lower symmetric phases where the global icosahedral symmetry of quasicrystals is broken due to mode locking of phason degrees of freedom. With the help of group theory, nonvanishing phason fields are calculated for all the possible symmetry
