Bragg gratings incorporated into organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) establish a coupling between waveguide modes and useful light (leaky modes). Here we demonstrate that the net coupling direction depends on the OLED stack design. We fabricated two different device structures with gold Bragg gratings. Angle resolved electroluminescence spectra were recorded. For the first device peaks of enhanced emission due to the Bragg grating are observed corresponding to a net energy transfer in direction of the leaky modes. The second device, on the other hand, exhibits dips in the emission spectrum. This reversed direction of energy transfer from the leaky modes to the waveguide modes is explained considering transfer matrix simulations of modal intensity distributions and device emission simulations. An OLED efficiency enhancement is only achieved, if the waveguide mode extraction is dominant.

Extensive Q-factor tuning for leaky modes with minimal frequency variation in asymmetric slab grating structures.

We investigated an asymmetric slab grating structure to achieve significant tuning of the quality (Q) factor for a leaky mode while minimizing frequency variation. This structure comprises two identical gratings placed on the top and bottom of a slab waveguide, with one grating laterally shifted to introduce asymmetry. Simulations demonstrate that lateral shifting of one grating induces extensive changes in the Q-factor with minimal frequency variation, particularly near the band-flip filling fraction because the band-flip filling fraction remains unaffected by the shifting.

Quasi-phasematched mixing processes of acoustic waves via second-order nonlinearity are analyzed with two perfectly guided waves generating a leaky wave. The efficiency of such processes is quantified by an acoustic nonlinearity parameter (ANP), defined as the linear growth rate of the leaky wave's amplitude in the initial stage of its spatial evolution. Two approximate ways of estimating the ANP of such processes are suggested.

Upstream open reading frames (uORFs) are a class of translated regions (translons) in mRNA 5' leaders. uORFs are believed to be pervasive regulators of the translation of mammalian mRNAs. Some uORFs are highly repressive but others have little or no impact on downstream mRNA translation either due to inefficient recognition of their start codon(s) or/and due to efficient reinitiation after uORF translation.

Article Synopsis
- Time-varying optical metasurfaces can change how light behaves dynamically, making them more interesting than static systems.
- This study looks at using structured femtosecond laser pumping to control a specific mode in a semiconductor metasurface, which helps in understanding light manipulation.
- The findings show a detailed way to control light in both space and time while also shedding light on how these extended modes in nonlocal metasurfaces are excited.
