We present a phase-shifting interferometric technique for imaging live biological cells in growth media, while optimizing spatial resolution and enabling potential real-time measurement capabilities. The technique uses slightly-off-axis interferometry which requires less detector bandwidth than traditional off-axis interferometry and fewer measurements than traditional on-axis interferometry. Experimental and theoretical comparisons between the proposed method and these traditional interferometric approaches are given. The method is experimentally demonstrated via phase microscopy of live human skin cancer cells.

This work explores the carrier recombination dynamics of AC-driven quantum dot (QD) light-emitting diodes (AC-QLEDs) and proposes their application in the field of electric field contactless detection. Different sequences of green QD (GQD)/red QD (RQD) bilayer thin films as the emission layer of AC-QLEDs were fabricated via film transfer printing to ensure the complete morphology of each layer. AC-QLEDs with the emission layer as the sequence of GQD + RQD (GR-QLEDs) show a significantly enhanced carrier recombination efficiency due to its stable energy level structure, achieving the highest peak brightness ever recorded for vertically emitting brightness of 1648.

Additionally, the introduction of bismuth-doped fiber amplifiers (BDFAs) results in less nonlinear impact and a higher link budget compared with semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs). However, with these key issues resolved, the system bandwidth limitation emerges as the next critical bottleneck for high-speed O-band DCI transmission that limits overall performance.

In inertial confinement fusion, hydrogen isotopes are fused together under high pressures and temperatures. Typically, the duration of these experiments is incredibly short, on the order of around 60-150 ps. Due to the high radiation environment, a detector's signal is typically data linked far distances to a protected location.

PM is an important indicator for measuring the degree of air pollution. Studying the space-time variation and the driving factors of spatial heterogeneity is important for controlling air pollution and improving regional air quality. Based on PM remote sensing data from 2000 to 2021, the Theil-Sen Median trend analysis, Mann-Kendall significant inspection, and spatial auto correlation were used to analyze the characteristics of space-time changes in PM concentration, and geographical detectors were combined with a multi-scale geographical weighted regression model to explore the key driver factor and its influence and direction of the impact and role of PM spatial differences.
