A Novel Virtual Optical Image Encryption Scheme Created by Combining Chaotic S-Box with Double Random Phase Encoding.

The double random phase encoding (DRPE) system plays a significant role in encrypted systems. However, it is a linear system that leads to security holes in encrypted systems. To tackle this issue, this paper proposes a novel optical image encryption scheme that combines a chaotic S-box, DRPE, and an improved Arnold transformation (IAT).

Non-Fullerene Acceptor-Based Solar Cells: From Structural Design to Interface Charge Separation and Charge Transport.

The development of non-fullerene small molecule as electron acceptors is critical for overcoming the shortcomings of fullerene and its derivatives (such as limited absorption of light, poor morphological stability and high cost). We investigated the electronic and optical properties of the two selected promising non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs), IDIC and IDTBR, and five conjugated donor polymers using quantum-chemical method (QM). Based on the optimized structures of the studied NFAs and the polymers, the ten donor/acceptor (D/A) interfaces were constructed and investigated using QM and Marcus semi-classical model.

Molecular modeling of two-photon absorption and third-order nonlinearities of polymethine dyes for all-optical switching.

Stimulated by a recent experimental report [Hales JM et al. (2010) Science 327:1485-1488], two-photon absorption and third-order optical nonlinearities of selenopyrylium- and bis(dioxaborine)-terminated polymethine dyes (called SE-7C and DOB-9C) used for all-optical switching were investigated theoretically with time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) and response theory as well as visualized real-space analysis. The calculated results for the first hyperpolarizability and second hyperpolarizability demonstrated that the two molecules both have large third-order optical nonlinearities.

Efficient transmission of crossing dielectric slot waveguides.

Transmission properties of two crossing dielectric slot waveguides (Si-Air-Si) are investigated using the finite difference in time domain method. Results show that the low transmission of this system mainly results from the reflection and radiation loss rather than the crosstalk. Using a simple method of filling up the crossing slots locally, the reflection, radiation losses and crosstalk are all greatly suppressed.
