When a probe pulse copropagates with a pump pulse inside an optical fiber, the two can interact through cross-phase modulation. It is shown that an interplay between the effects of group-velocity dispersion and cross-phase modulation can lead to optical wave breaking that manifests as rapid oscillations near the leading or the trailing side of the probe pulse. Qualitative features of this new kind of optical wave breaking are discussed, as well as the conditions under which it can be observed experimentally. The probe pulse can be compressed significantly by optimizing the initial delay between the pump and probe pulses even when the two pulses experience normal dispersion in the fiber.

Band topology has emerged as a novel tool for material design across various domains, including photonic and phononic systems, and metamaterials. A prominent model for band topology is the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) chain, which reveals topological in-gap states within Bragg-type gaps (BG) formed by periodic modification. Apart from classical BGs, another mechanism for bandgap formation in metamaterials involves strong coupling between local resonances and propagating waves, resulting in a local resonance-induced bandgap (LRG).

This paper presents an automated method for solving the initial structure of compact, high-zoom-ratio mid-wave infrared (MWIR) zoom lenses. Using differential analysis, the focal length variation process of zoom lenses under paraxial conditions is investigated, and a model for the focal power distribution and relative motion of three movable lens groups is established. The particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is introduced into the zooming process analysis, and a program is developed in MATLAB to solve for the initial structure.

: The aim of the present study was to establish a cut-off value of the Lipid Layer Pattern (LLP) between participants with different subtypes of Dry Eye Disease (DED) including Deficient Dry Eye (ADDE), Evaporative Dry Eye (EDE), and Mixed Dry Eye (MDE). : 240 participants diagnosed with DED according to the Tear Film and Ocular Surface Society in the Dry Eye Workshop II guidelines were included in the study. Tear Meniscus Height (TMH) using the Tearscope illumination and Meibomian Gland Loss Area (MGLA) using the Keratograph 5M were assessed to categorize the participants into an ADDE group, EDE group, or MDE group.

Background: High-velocity, low-amplitude (HVLA) manipulation is a common manual therapy technique used for treating pain and musculoskeletal dysfunction. An audible manipulation sound is commonly experienced by patients who undergo HVLA manipulation; however, there is little known about the effects and clinical relevance of the audible manipulation sound on cortical output and the autonomic nervous system. This study aimed to identify the immediate impact of the audible manipulation sound on brainwave activity and pupil diameter in asymptomatic subjects following an HVLA cervical manipulation.
