In the paper, the geometrical parameters and energetics of the extremely narrow pseudo-nondiffracting beams with the spot size of several micrometers are examined. The main attention is focused on design, realization and testing of the set-up enabling conversion of the laser diode beam or the fiber mode to the narrow Bessel-Gauss beam whose spot can be continuously relocated across the plane perpendicular to the beam propagation direction. Application of the laser convertor to the optical manipulation is demonstrated on experiments enabling transport of microparticles along a desired trajectory.

A low-cost and low-power-consumption optical transmitter with a narrow shoreline is crucial for short-reach optical communication. To increase the shoreline bandwidth density (Gbps/mm) at low cost, multiple optical components, including lasers, should be integrated on a single chip. In this study, we develop a sixteen-channel membrane laser array integrated with silica-based spot-size convertors on a SiO/Si substrate, with a footprint of 1.

Artificial-intelligence-generated content has driven explosive data traffic growth in data-center interconnects. Traditional direct detection solutions struggle with limited spectral efficiency and distance, prompting the shift to coherent optics for cost-sensitive short-reach links. One specific challenge is integrating low-cost lasers while overcoming severe phase noise on high-order modulation formats.

Meanwhile, as the dynamic and stretchable materials enable the active manipulation of conversion points, evident frequency shifts for circular polarization transformation were discovered by applying laser irradiation and tension. Hence the modulation of conversion points covered a broadband with combination of those two external excitations.
