Designing chiral organic small molecules for circularly polarized light detection via group theory

open access: yesInfoMat, EarlyView.
The chiral point group determines the arrangement of the μ‐m of chiral organic small molecules, thereby influencing their chiral photoelectric properties. In particular, chiral molecules with the D2 point group can effectively align the μ‐m to be either 0° or 180°, an effective strategy for high‐performance circularly polarized light photodetectors ...

A Year-Long Plateau in the Late-Time Near-Infrared Light Curves of Type Ia Supernovae

open access: yes, 2023
The light curves of Type Ia supernovae are routinely used to constrain cosmology models. Driven by radioactive decay of 56Ni, the light curves steadily decline over time, but >150 days after explosion, the near-infrared portion is poorly characterized ...

Near‐Infrared Polarimetric Imaging With Nonlinear Flat‐Optics

open access: yesLaser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A compact and broadband polarimetric imaging platform is presented, based on second‐harmonic generation (SHG) in nonlinear flat‐optics. The system employs periodic all‐dielectric AlGaAs gratings to induce polarization‐dependent SH emission, enabling pixel by pixel direct retrieval of the full Stokes vector from an input intensity distribution ...

Antarctic Infrared Binocular Telescope: Early Data Release of Observations in the 1.4 μm Water-vapor-absorption Band

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Ground-based observations around 1.4 μ m are normally limited by strong absorption of telluric water-vapor. However, Dome A, Antarctica has exceptionally dry conditions that offer a unique opportunity for observations in this band.

Science Impacts of the SPHEREx All-Sky Optical to Near-Infrared Spectral Survey II: Report of a Community Workshop on the Scientific Synergies Between the SPHEREx Survey and Other Astronomy Observatories [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
SPHEREx is a proposed NASA MIDEX mission selected for Phase A study. SPHEREx would carry out the first all-sky spectral survey in the near infrared. At the end of its two-year mission, SPHEREx would obtain 0.75-to-5$μ$m spectra of every 6.2 arcsec pixel on the sky, with spectral resolution R>35 and a 5-$σ$ sensitivity AB$>$19 per spectral/spatial

Epitaxial Integration of III–V Membrane Photodetectors With Lateral p–i–n Junctions on the Silicon‐On‐Insulator Waveguide Platform

open access: yesLaser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Epitaxial growth forms III–V membranes directly atop the silicon waveguide layer on SOI, while in‐plane in situ doping defines lateral p–i–n InP/InGaAs junctions in a single growth step. The membrane photodetectors achieve 50 Gb/s NRZ‐OOK operation.

From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full
