A scintillating polymeric composites loaded with hafnia nanoparticles is engineered to obtain a highly luminous material, thus achieving a 400% improvement of the scintillation yield under soft X‐rays. The nanocomposite is employed to realize a multilayer heterostructured prototype scintillator than enable for ultrafast time coincidence resolution in ...

Nonlinear self-flipping of polarization states in asymmetric waveguides
Waveguides of subwavelength dimensions with asymmetric geometries, such as rib waveguides, can display nonlinear polarization effects in which the nonlinear phase difference dominates the linear contribution, provided the birefringence is sufficiently ...

Carboxyl‐functionalized graphene quantum dots (cGQDs) exhibit high singlet oxygen quantum yield due to strong spin–orbit coupling. cGQDs achieve minimum bactericidal concentration of only 0.4 µg mL−1 against S. aureus under low‐intensity illumination.

Fabrication of Polymeric Multimode Waveguides for Application in the Local Area Network and Optical Interconnects. [PDF]
We report the fabrication of multimode polymeric waveguides using spin coating, photolithography, and reactive ion etching. Different layer structures have been used, e.g., a UV curable resin is used as a core layer and PMMA as a lower and upper cladding.

Onset of Delocalization in Quasi-1D Waveguides with Correlated Surface Disorder
We present first analytical results on transport properties of many-mode waveguides with rough surfaces having long-range correlations. We show that propagation of waves through such waveguides reveals a quite unexpected phenomena of a complete ...

A Novel Photonic Material for Designing Arbitrarily Shaped Waveguides in Two Dimensions [PDF]
We investigate numerically optical properties of novel two-dimensional photonic materials where parallel dielectric rods are randomly placed with the restriction that the distance between rods is larger than a certain value. A large complete photonic gap

Multimode nematicon waveguides [PDF]
We report on the first experimental observation of higher-order modes guided by soliton-induced waveguides in unbiased nematic liquid crystals. We find that the nematicon waveguides operate in a bounded power region specific to each guided mode. Below this region the guided beams diffract, above it the mode mixing and coupling give rise to an unstable ...

Elucidating Sodium Ion Storage Mechanisms in Hard Carbon Anodes at the Electronic Level
High‐resolution, multi‐frequency continuous wave, and pulsed Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy uncover the intricate Na ion storage mechanisms in hard carbon. This study reveals the coexistence of Na ion intercalation and solvent co‐intercalation, alongside a subsequent transition of Na ions from ionic to quasi‐metallic to metallic ...

Quasi-planar optics: computing light propagation and scattering in planar waveguide arrays
We analyze wave propagation in coupled planar waveguides, pointing specific attention to modal cross-talk and out-of-plane scattering in quasi-planar photonics.
