Perovskite‐based time‐domain signal‐balancing LiDAR sensor with centimeter depth resolution
InfoMat, EarlyView.In this study, we present a monolithic high‐speed perovskite‐based photodetector capable of directly sensing the time delay between two light pulses with a temporal resolution of at least 170 ps. This outstanding time resolution is achieved through a signal‐balancing detection scheme that effectively overcomes the limitations of conventional ...

Residual service stresses on tread of P65 rail
Вестник Научно-исследовательского института железнодорожного транспортаIntroduction. The problems of rail durability and methods of forecasting it in conditions of increasing traffic density continue to be relevant. High stresses occur in the area of contact between the wheel and the rail, caused by the efforts of their ...

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.This work introduces two types of bound states in the continuum (BICs) and their merging in a waveguide‐resonator system, which significantly enhances the quality factor (Q$Q$). Benefiting from the high‐Q$Q$ characteristics of quasi‐BICs, a sensitivity‐tunable complex permittivity sensor is developed based on this system, achieving improvements of 93 ...
