Tunable frequency of a microwave mixed receiver based on Rydberg atoms under the Zeeman effect.

Researchers are interested in the sensor based on Rydberg atoms because of its broad testing frequency range and outstanding sensitivity. However, the discrete frequency detection limits its further employment. We expand the frequency range of microwaves using Rydberg atoms under the Zeeman effect.

Near-field antenna measurement based on Rydberg-atom probe.

Current near-field antenna measurement methods are commonly based on metal probes, with the accuracy limited and hard to be optimized due to the drawbacks they suffered, such as large volume, severe metal reflection/interference and complex circuit signal processing in parameter extracting. In this work, a novel method is proposed based on Rydberg atom in the near-field antenna measurement, which can offer a higher accuracy due to its intrinsic character of traceability to electric field. Replacing the metal probe in near-field measurement system by Rydberg atoms contained in a vapor cell (probe), amplitude- and phase- measurements on a 2.

Subwavelength dielectric grating structures with tunable higher order resonance for achromatic augmented reality display.

Color non-uniformities caused by a dispersion effect can seriously affect the image quality for a diffractive waveguide display system. In this work, we propose a subwavelength multilayered dielectric grating structure by a rigorous coupled wave analysis as a novel coupling grating, to the best of our knowledge, for waveguide-based near-eye displays to overcome the "rainbow" effect. Such a grating structure exhibits a tunable high-efficiency resonance in first-order diffraction due to resonant coupling of incident light with the grating structure.

High-Precision Vital Signs Monitoring Method Using a FMCW Millimeter-Wave Sensor.

The method of using millimeter-wave radar sensors to detect human vital signs, namely respiration and heart rate, has received widespread attention in non-contact monitoring. These sensors are compact, lightweight, and able to sense and detect various scenarios. However, it still faces serious problems of noisy interference in hardware, which leads to a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).

Optimization of gratings in a diffractive waveguide using relative-direction-cosine diagrams.

Designing diffractive waveguides for head-mounted displays requires wide-angle conical diffraction analysis of multiple gratings. In this work, diffractive waveguide design using the relative direction cosine space, which extends the direction cosine space to a relative space involving refractive indices and can describe grating diffraction through various media, is demonstrated. A diffractive waveguide was fabricated with grating periods of 382 and 270 nm, which generated a monochromatic virtual image image in green light (520 nm).
