We present a method to find the optimum distribution of scatterers in an edge-lit lightguide plate (LGP) for rendering a uniform distribution of the outcoupled light. We propose a simple mathematical model describing the light propagation in a waveguide with a distribution of scattering elements located on the lower surface of the waveguide. We have found a differential equation giving the distribution of scattering elements leading to a uniform irradiance along the LGP, and we propose a method to determine the value of the outcoupling coefficient of an individual scattering element from the irradiance (or radiance) measurements. We have verified the validity of this model by performing ray tracing simulations on an LGP with the scattering elements distributed according to the solution of the proposed differential equation, and we have found a quantitative agreement between the analytical results and the simulated ones. Also this model has been used to directly calculate the output power of a given embossed LGP.

We revisit the prescription commonly used to define holographic correlators on the celestial sphere of Minkowski space as an integral transform of flat space scattering amplitudes. We propose a new prescription according to which celestial holographic correlators are given by the Mellin transform of bulk time-ordered correlators with respect to the radial direction in the hyperbolic slicing of Minkowski space, which are then extrapolated to the celestial sphere along the hyperbolic directions. This prescription is analogous to the extrapolate definition of holographic correlators in AdS/CFT and, like in AdS, is centered on (off-shell) correlation functions as opposed to (on-shell) S-matrix elements.

Metallic oxide can induce localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) through creating vacancies, which effectively achieve high carrier concentrations and offer advantages such as versatility and tunability. However, vacancies are typically created by altering the stoichiometric ratio of elements through doping, and it is challenging to achieve LSPR enhancement in the visible spectral range. Here, we have assembled CuO-superlattices to induce a high concentration of oxygen vacancies, resulting in LSPR within the visible spectrum.

A novel dual-mode detection method for microRNA-21 was developed. Photoluminescent (PL) and multiphonon resonant Raman scattering (MRRS) techniques were combined by using ZnTe nanoparticles as signal probes for reliable detection. The catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) strategy was integrated with superparamagnetic FeO nanoparticle clusters (NCs) to enhance sensitivity.
