We experimentally demonstrate a highly efficient metasurface-based optical vortex beam (OVB) composed of high-aspect-ratio gallium nitride (GaN) meta-structures with an exceptional simulated absolute polarization conversion efficiency (APCE) of up to 98%. A flower-like interference pattern emerges at the converging distance of the device with the helicity switching in spiral and dislocation interference patterns beyond this point, as confirmed through meticulous Mach-Zehnder interferometer analysis. The device also performs broadband capabilities across visible wavelengths.

This accomplishment was realized through the meticulous engineering of a propagation-phase-designed metasurface. Comprising gallium nitride (GaN), meta-structures characterized by their high-aspect ratio, this metasurface exhibits an average co-polarization transmission efficiency, reaching a remarkable simulated value of up to 97%.

In our design, horizontal and vertical polarization is manipulated by applying a suitable voltage to a twisted nematic liquid crystal (TN-LC) cell. Each nanostructure is designed to be a rectangular prism, making different polarizations of light experience various phase delays, thus causing bi-focus.

However, studies concerning DMG in adult patients remain rare. We did a retrospective study covering the largest amount of patients to date to analyze the clinicopathological characteristics of diffuse glioma in midline structures of the adult.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFLaryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is the most common type of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) worldwide. Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) dysfunction has been widely reported in a broad range of malignancies due to its distinctive role in miscellaneous cellular processes. However, it is poorly understood whether aberrant alterations of PP2A are involved in the network of oncogenic events in LSCC.
