Published: October 2005

We describe a reflection scheme that allows Bragg-spaced semiconductor quantum wells to be used to trap, store, and release light. We study the temporal and spectral distortion of delayed light pulses and show that this geometry allows multibit delays and offers a high degree of distortion compensation.

Article Synopsis
  • Multi-core fiber (MCF) is gaining attention for distributed fiber sensing because it can transmit light independently through multiple channels, reducing issues like coherent fading that affect signal quality.
  • A new method called spatial rotated-vector-average (SRVA) combines signals from these channels to effectively minimize phase noise and prevent errors in signal processing.
  • Experiments with a 2.58-km MCF demonstrated a significant reduction in fading and noise levels, leading to improved localization accuracy and reliable signal recovery, which enhances the use of MCF in long-distance sensing applications.

Time-Correlated Single Photon Counting (TCSPC) is a pivotal technique in low-light-detection applications, renowned for its exceptional sensitivity and bandwidth, widely used in Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM) and quantum optics. Despite its features, TCSPC is significantly hindered by the pile-up effect, which may distort measurements at high photon-detection rates. Overcoming pile-up is challenging, with traditional solutions often involving complex post-processing or multichannel systems, complicating the TCSPC setup and limiting performance.

Brønsted acid-induced transannulation of the phytochemical zerumbone.

Org Biomol Chem

December 2021

Major in Advanced Bioscience, Graduate School of Agriculture, Kindai University, Nara, Nara 631-8505, Japan.

The sesquiterpene zerumbone was treated with HCl in ethyl acetate under the light-protected condition, and the time-dependent conversions were analyzed by gas chromatography. Nine products were isolated, and their structures were revealed by several NMR measurements such as H NMR, C{H} NMR, distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer (DEPT)-135, H-H correlation spectroscopy (COSY), H-C heteronuclear multiple quantum coherence (HMQC), and H-C heteronuclear multiple bond coherence (HMBC). The X-ray crystallography determined the stereochemistries of the three products and the two derivatives.

Graphene Nanoribbon Gap Waveguides for Dispersionless and Low-Loss Propagation with Deep-Subwavelength Confinement.

Nanomaterials (Basel)

May 2021

Shenzhen Key Laboratory of Laser Engineering, College of Physics and Optoelectronic Engineering, Shenzhen University, Shenzhen 518060, China.

Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) have been attracting considerable attention owing to their unique capabilities of manipulating light. However, the intractable dispersion and high loss are two major obstacles for attaining high-performance plasmonic devices. Here, a graphene nanoribbon gap waveguide (GNRGW) is proposed for guiding dispersionless gap SPPs (GSPPs) with deep-subwavelength confinement and low loss.
