Generative AI-Enabled Discovery and Experimental Demonstration of Ultra-Broadband Epsilon-Near-Zero Perfect Absorbers. [PDF]
Researchers developed and applied a generative artificial intelligence (AI) model to optimize epsilon‐near‐zero thin film stacks for ultra‐broadband perfect absorption of light. The fabricated AI‐designed absorber, with a total thickness of only 160 nm, experimentally demonstrated an absorption bandwidth exceeding 1000 nm while maintaining greater than

Wide-field dynamic astronomy in the near-infrared with Palomar Gattini-IR and DREAMS [PDF]
There have been a dramatic increase in the number of optical and radio transient surveys due to astronomical transients such as gravitational waves and gamma ray bursts, however, there have been a limited number of wide-field infrared surveys due to narrow field-of-view and high cost of infrared cameras, we present two new wide-field near-infrared ...

Integration of a Testbench for the Optical and Thermal Characterization of Near-Infrared Detectors Used in Ground and Space-Based Astronomy [PDF]
The mercury–cadmium–tellurium (MCT) sensors are considered the ideal infrared detectors to equip the focal plane arrays (FPAs) of astronomical scientific missions. To tackle Europe to be self-sufficient on this technology and promote to reach the same maturity level attained by the current MCT sensors market leaders, the Astronomy European Infrared ...

Background-limited Imaging in the Near Infrared with Warm InGaAs Sensors: Applications for Time-domain Astronomy [PDF]
Abstract We describe test observations made with a customized 640 × 512 pixel indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) prototype astronomical camera on the 2.5 m DuPont telescope. This is the first test of InGaAs as a cost-effective alternative to HgCdTe for research-grade astronomical observations. The camera exhibits a background of 113 e– s–1/
