We report a nonlinear acoustic system displaying excitability. The considered system is a magnetostrictive material where acoustic waves are parametrically generated. For a set of parameters, the system presents homoclinic and heteroclinic dynamics, whose boundaries define an excitability domain. The excitable behavior is characterized by analyzing the response of the system to different external stimuli. Single-spiking and bursting regimes have been identified. All these neuronlike properties are here predicted to occur in magnetostrictive materials, which are the basis of many smart systems and applications.

Microcavity exciton polaritons (polaritons) as part-light part-matter quasiparticles garner considerable attention for Bose-Einstein condensation at elevated temperatures. Recently, halide perovskites have emerged as promising room-temperature polaritonic platforms because of their large exciton binding energies and superior optical properties. However, currently, inducing room-temperature nonequilibrium polariton condensation in perovskite microcavities requires optical pulsed excitations with high excitation densities.

Multiphoton imaging also requires high numerical aperture microscope objectives to realize efficient non-linear excitation and collection of fluorescence. This combination of low-magnification and high-numerical aperture poses a challenge for system design.

However, the poor stability of perovskites with many defects and the long cycle time for the preparation of perovskite nanocomposites have hindered their production and application. Here, we prepared the perovskite mesostructures by embedding MAPbBr nanocrystals in the mesopores on the surface of silica nanospheres and mixing the nanospheres with silver nanowires and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), and further explored their optical properties.

The emergence of carrier coherence in MPS is a fascinating topic in coherently controlling the nonlinear effect (or other novel phenomena). Herein, we systematically investigated the third-order nonlinear optical responses of MPS (M = Ni, Fe, Mn) flake suspensions based on spatial self-phase modulation (SSPM) effect.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFThe third harmonic (TH) signals in subwavelength scale devices have a wide range of applications, including nano-laser, microscopic imaging, sensing, and so on. However, the limited TH signal intensity still restricts practical applications due to the inherently small nonlinear coefficient in material and relatively weak confinement of the pump electromagnetic field. Here, we present the enhancement of TH signals in the isotropic Si nanosphere and the Au core/Si shell nanosphere exhibiting anapole mode excited by tightly focused radially polarized beams.
