A Novel Hexahedron Photonic Crystal Fiber in Terahertz Propagation: Design and Analysis

Photonics, 2019
A novel hexahedron fiber has been proposed for biomedical imaging applications and efficient guiding of terahertz radiation. A finite element method (FEM) has been applied to investigate the guiding properties rigorously.

Variable immersion microscopy with a high numerical aperture

Optics Letters, 2021
Three-dimensional (3D) optical microscopy with a high numerical aperture (NA) remains challenging for thick biological specimens owing to aberrations arising from interface refractions. We developed a variable immersion lens (VIL) to passively minimize these aberrations.

Eigenvalue calibration methods for polarimetry [PDF]

Journal of the European Optical Society-Rapid Publications, 2012
Complex polarisation sensitive systems such as imaging Mueller matrix polarimeters are commonly calibrated using the eigenvalue calibration method. In this paper we present an extensive review of the method and an existing variant.

Thin high numerical aperture metalens

Optics Express, 2017
We designed, fabricated, and characterized a thin metalens in an amorphous silicon film of diameter 30 µm, focal length equal to the incident wavelength 633 nm. The lens is capable of simultaneously manipulating the state of polarization and phase of incident light.

Planar Solid‐State Nanopores Toward Scalable Nanofluidic Integration Based on CMOS Technology

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
We present a scalable silicon‐based fabrication strategy for planar solid‐state nanopores to enable their integration with complex nanofluidic systems. Prototype devices demonstrate normal voltage‐current characteristics, good noise performance, and appreciable streaming currents. Our CMOS‐compatible fabrication process offers precise geometric control

Enhancing Bubble Removal in Geometry‐Optimized Electrodes

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
3D‐printed lattice electrodes outperform stochastic foams in alkaline water electrolysis despite 20%–25% lower surface area. Straight flow channels generate Venturi‐like bubble entrainment, suppressing gas accumulation that renders foam interiors electrochemically inactive.
