We have fabricated a very narrow bandpass tunable terahertz (THz) filter based on a one-dimensional photonic crystal cavity. Since the filter consists of silicon wafers and air spacers, it has a very high quality factor of about 1500. The full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the passband is only about 200 MHz, and the peak transmission is higher than -4 dB. Besides, the central frequency can be tuned rapidly over the entire bandgap with the length of cavity adjusted by a motorized linear stage. Further analytical calculations indicate that a high-Q tunable filter with both high peak transmission and wide tunable range is possible if thinner silicon layers are used.

This study presents the design, fabrication, and characterization of a wide field-of-view (FOV) metalens optimized for capsule endoscopy. The metalens achieved a 165° FOV with a high modulation transfer function (MTF) of 300 lines per millimeter (lp/mm) across the entire FOV, operating in the near-infrared (NIR) narrow-bandpass imaging at 940 nm. The performance of the metalens-based system is evaluated using two bandwidths, 12 nm and 32 nm, showing MTF values of 0.

The fluorescence intensity of fluorescent dyes typically employed in the dual-emission laser-induced fluorescence (DELIF) method gradually degrades as the excitation time increases, and the degradation rate depends on the type of fluorescent dye used. Therefore, the DELIF method is unsuitable for long-term temperature measurements. In this study, we focused on the fluorescence intensity ratio of a single fluorescent dye at two fluorescence wavelengths and developed a DELIF method for long-term temperature measurements based on this ratio.

In this paper, a broadband and high dynamic range (DR) microwave S parameter measurement scheme based on an optical phase-locked loop (OPLL) is proposed. By heterodyning two phase-locked hybrid integrated ultra-narrow linewidth lasers, a microwave signal with low phase noise and spurious level is generated as the incident signal and reference signal, and the signal frequency can be easily manipulated over a wide range by tuning the master laser wavelength.

Our proposed filter is based on a long-period waveguide grating (LPWG) formed on a lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI) rib waveguide with a channel-shaped polymer cladding waveguide. The LPWG formed on the surface of the LNOI core enables efficient mode coupling between the two fundamental modes of the LNOI waveguide and the polymer cladding waveguide and hence dual-function filtering.
