The Pancharatnam-Berry (PB) phase has revolutionized the design of metasurfaces, offering a straightforward and robust method for controlling wavefronts of electromagnetic waves. However, traditional metasurfaces have fixed PB phases determined by the orientation of their individual elements. In this study, an innovative structural design and integration scheme is proposed that utilizes vanadium dioxide, a phase-change material, to achieve thermally controlled dynamic PB phase control within the metasurface.

Optical image processing with high operational efficiency has been applied as a pre-processing imaging system for image recognition. Edge-enhanced imaging as a high-efficiency optical image processing method is of great significance for feature extraction and target recognition. However, the edge-enhanced imaging system based on the 4F system and the spatial filter transforms mainly work under coherent light illumination conditions, without continuously zooming to track the spatial position of the target.

  • * The proposed method involves breaking down a hologram into two phase-only holograms: one acts as ciphertext and the other as a key, ensuring that the holographic image can only be reconstructed when these two are used together.
  • * Additionally, a watermark is embedded in the ciphertext to protect copyright, combining encryption and watermarking for high security in transmitting holographic images.

Multifocal metalenses are effective elements for longitudinal light field modulation and have important applications in long-focal depth imaging and three-dimensional display. However, the forward design method is subject to destructive interference generated by phase discontinuity, and cannot achieve high-efficiency, tunable multifocal metalenses. Therefore, we propose an efficient and tunable inverse design framework based on the adjoint method and gradient strategy, transforming light field modulation into mathematical optimization of nonlinear constraints.

In the realm of active polarization detection systems, the imperative for polarization illumination systems with high-uniformity and predefined-shape irradiance distribution is evident. This paper introduces a novel anamorphic aspheric (AAS) microlens array (MLA) integral polarization homogenizer, incorporating projection MLA (PMLA), condenser MLA (CMLA), polarization film (PF), and a sub-image array (SIA) mask based on Kohler illumination principles.

Deep learning-based computer-generated holography offers significant advantages for real-time holographic displays. Most existing methods typically utilize convolutional neural networks (CNNs) as the basic framework for encoding phase-only holograms (POHs). However, recent studies have shown that CNNs suffer from spectral bias, resulting in insufficient learning of high-frequency components.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play a crucial role in gene regulation and have been implicated in the development of drug resistance in cancer, representing a significant challenge in oncological therapeutics. Despite advancements in computational models predicting RNA-drug interactions, existing frameworks often overlook the complex interplay between circRNAs, drug mechanisms, and disease contexts. This study aims to bridge this gap by introducing a novel computational model, circRDRP, that enhances prediction accuracy by integrating disease-specific contexts into the analysis of circRNA-drug interactions.

Non-radiative optical modes attracted enormous attention in optics due to strong light confinement and giant Q-factor at its spectral position. The destructive interference of multipoles leads to zero net-radiation and strong field trapping. Such radiationless states disappear in the far-field, localize enhanced near-field and can be excited in nano-structures.

A general method for designing an integral projection system is proposed, including optical design and digital preprocessing based on the mapping within the projection system. The per-pixel mapping between the sub-images and the integral projection image is generated by incorporating an integral projection imaging model as well as the ray data of all sub-channels. By tracing rays for sparsely sampled field points of the central sub-channel and constructing the mapping between the central sub-channel and other sub-channels, the efficient acquisition of ray data for all sub-channels is achieved.

Accurately reconstructing 4D critical organs contributes to the visual guidance in X-ray image-guided interventional operation. Current methods estimate intraoperative dynamic meshes by refining a static initial organ mesh from the semantic information in the single-frame X-ray images. However, these methods fall short of reconstructing an accurate and smooth organ sequence due to the distinct respiratory patterns between the initial mesh and X-ray image.

While genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have unequivocally identified vast disease susceptibility variants, a majority of them are situated in non-coding regions and are in high linkage disequilibrium (LD). To pave the way of translating GWAS signals to clinical drug targets, it is essential to identify the underlying causal variants and further causal genes. To this end, a myriad of post-GWAS methods have been devised, each grounded in distinct principles including fine-mapping, co-localization, and transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) techniques.
