Real-time characterization of microresonator dynamics is important for many applications. In particular, it is critical for near-field sensing and understanding light-matter interactions. Here, we report camera-facilitated imaging and analysis of standing wave patterns in optical ring resonators.

The 567-µm-deep grooves with aspect ratios of approximately 35 were obtained with no cracks or thermal affected zone. The morphologies and chemical compositions of grooves were analyzed by a scanning electron microscope with an energy dispersive x-ray spectrometer.

Electrocaloric refrigeration utilizing ferroelectrics has recently gained tremendous attention because of the urgent demand for solid-state cooling devices. However, the low room-temperature electrocaloric effect and narrow operation temperature window hinder the implementation of lead-free ferroelectrics in high-efficiency cooling applications. In this work, chemical engineering and thick-film architecture design strategies were integrated into a BaTiO-based system to resolve this challenge.

Recently, the gradient metasurface is introduced to couple the spoof SPPs in microwave frequency band. One of the most important issue which should be solved is the narrowband of spoof SPPs coupling on the gradient metasurface.
