To analyze the treatment modalities and trends for neovascular glaucoma (NVG) over the past 10 years, we conducted a retrospective analysis at Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center on 1331 NVG inpatients who received 1459 treatments for 1383 eyes between January 1, 2012, and December 31, 2021. Over time, we observed a progressive annual increase in both the number of patients and the volume of surgeries for NVG, with an annual percentage change (APC) of 10.23 % (95 % confidence interval [CI]: 5.

Metasurfaces have recently opened up applications in the quantum regime, including quantum tomography and the generation of quantum entangled states. With their capability to store a vast amount of information by utilizing the various geometric degrees of freedom of nanostructures, metasurfaces are expected to be useful for processing quantum information. Here, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a programmable metasurface capable of performing quantum algorithms using both classical and quantum light with single photons.

Article Synopsis
  • Gallium arsenide (GaAs) microwires, with an average diameter of 1.1 μm, have been successfully grown and show promise for nonlinear optical devices by allowing for bandgap engineering.
  • The microwires exhibit significant strain, measured between 1.61% to 2.03%, which reduces their bandgap compared to bulk GaAs, extending the operational wavelength range to 1.1 μm.
  • These GaAs microwires function as effective saturable absorbers in laser applications, demonstrating capabilities like Q-switching and mode-locking in Yb-bulk lasers, highlighting their potential for advanced optical technologies.
