Advances of surface-enhanced Raman and IR spectroscopies: from nano/microstructures to macro-optical design [PDF]
Raman and infrared (IR) spectroscopy are powerful analytical techniques, but have intrinsically low detection sensitivity. There have been three major steps (i) to advance the optical system of the light excitation, collection, and detection since 1920s,

Design of Task-Specific Optical Systems Using Broadband Diffractive Neural Networks [PDF]
We report a broadband diffractive optical neural network design that simultaneously processes a continuum of wavelengths generated by a temporally-incoherent broadband source to all-optically perform a specific task learned using deep learning. We experimentally validated the success of this broadband diffractive neural network architecture by ...
