Two different transport regimes of light are observed in reflection from the same disordered photonic crystal. A model based on the scaling theory of localization explains the behavior of the path length-resolved reflection at two different probing wavelengths. Our results demonstrate the continuous renormalization of the photon diffusion coefficient measured in reflection from random media.

Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides are promising materials that not only are atomically thin but also have direct bandgaps, making them highly regarded in optics and optoelectronics. However, their photoluminescence exhibits almost random polarization at room temperature. The emission is also omnidirectional and weak due to the low quantum yield.

Bottlebrush block polymers, characterized by densely grafted side chains extending from a backbone, have recently garnered significant attention. A particularly attractive feature is the accessibility of ordered morphologies with domain spacings exceeding several hundred nanometers, a capability that is challenging to achieve with linear polymers. These large morphologies make bottlebrush block polymers promising for various applications, such as photonic crystals.

Methanol (CH₃OH) is a volatile, transparent, and toxic substance widely used in chemical substrates, antifreeze, and industrial applications. Ethanol (C₂H₅OH), in contrast, is commonly used in alcoholic beverages, as a fuel additive, and as an antiseptic. Differentiating between methanol and ethanol is critical due to the severe health risks associated with methanol ingestion, while ethanol is safe for consumption in moderation.

New tetrakis Eu and Gd β-diketonate complexes containing benzimidazolium (Bzim) as the counterion were synthesized by the one-pot method. The Bzim[Eu(tta)]·HO complex was further incorporated into a poly(methyl methacrylate) matrix (PMMA) at 1, 5, and 10% (w/w), which revealed highly desirable photonic features. The Eu and Gd complexes were characterized by elemental and thermal analyses, in addition to ESI-MS spectrometry, FTIR, and Raman spectroscopy.

Article Synopsis
- Strong coupling between nanocavities and single excitons at room temperature is crucial for studying cavity quantum electrodynamics, influenced by factors like light confinement and electric field orientation.
- A hybrid cavity design combining a one-dimensional photonic crystal and plasmonic nanocavity enhances quality factor, minimizes mode volume, and allows control of electric field direction using Bloch surface waves.
- Achieving a Rabi splitting of around 186 meV with only 8 excitons involved marks a significant advance, producing an effective coupling strength of 17.6 meV per exciton, which is nearly double the previously reported values for TMD-based systems.
