Preparation, Characterization and Application of Ultrathick True Zero-Order KDP Crystal Waveplates

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
In crystal space, the birefringence varies continuously with respect to the propagating direction of the light wave. By utilizing this property, we design and fabricate a series of ultrathick true zero-order (TZ) waveplates based on KH2PO4 crystals with ...

A Q‐Learning Algorithm to Solve the Two‐Player Zero‐Sum Game Problem for Nonlinear Systems

open access: yesInternational Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 566-581, March 2025.
A Q‐learning algorithm to solve the two‐player zero‐sum game problem for nonlinear systems. ABSTRACT This paper deals with the two‐player zero‐sum game problem, which is a bounded L2$$ {L}_2 $$‐gain robust control problem. Finding an analytical solution to the complex Hamilton‐Jacobi‐Issacs (HJI) equation is a challenging task.

Application of the Parabola Method in Nonconvex Optimization

open access: yesAlgorithms
We consider the Golden Section and Parabola Methods for solving univariate optimization problems. For multivariate problems, we use these methods as line search procedures in combination with well-known zero-order methods such as the coordinate descent ...

Diffractive Elements for Zero-Order Bessel Beam Generation With Application in the Terahertz Reflection Imaging

open access: yesIEEE Photonics Journal, 2019
Novel diffractive elements are presented to produce zero-order Bessel beams in the terahertz (THz) band. First, diffractive elements are designed as phase plates to change the direction of the incident Gaussian beam.

Thermoreflectance Detection of Point Defects Resulting from Focused Ion Beam Milling

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Focused ion beam (FIB) milling is a common tool for nanoscale material processing, however irradiation damage, redeposition, and contamination can occur. We use several characterization tools to show FIB‐induced effects beyond 1 mm from the milled area.

Characterization of Defect Distribution in an Additively Manufactured AlSi10Mg as a Function of Processing Parameters and Correlations with Extreme Value Statistics

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Predicting extreme defects in additive manufacturing remains a key challenge limiting its structural reliability. This study proposes a statistical framework that integrates Extreme Value Theory with advanced process indicators to explore defect–process relationships and improve the estimation of critical defect sizes. The approach provides a basis for

Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs) offer low‐carbon alternatives for construction, yet interfacial bonding remains a critical challenge. This review examines fungal biowelding as a biocompatible adhesive, elucidating mycelium‐mediated interfacial mechanisms and their role in material assembly. Strategies to optimize biowelding are discussed, highlighting
