We numerically investigate the polarization-dependent coupling in dual-core photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) selectively filled with gold wires in air holes. It is shown that the even and odd supermodes exhibit significantly different dispersion and loss when one gold wire is filled in between two cores. The enhanced birefringence and polarization-dependent attenuation of the supermodes support the separation of two orthogonally polarized components as well as polarization-dependent transmissions with a high degree of polarization in gold-filled dual core PCFs. Our study suggests that a gold-filled PCF coupler is a new possibility for applications on polarization beam splitters and polarizers.

The breaking of inversion symmetry combined with spin-orbit coupling, can give rise to intrigu- ing quantum phases and collective excitations. Here, we report systematic temperature dependent Raman scattering and theoretical calculations of phonon modes across the inversion symmetry- breaking structural transitions in a quasi-one-dimensional compound (TaSe4)3I. Our investigation revealed the emergence of three additional Raman-active modes in Raman spectra of the low- temperature (LT) non-centrosymmetric (NC) structure of the material.

Anisotropic materials with low symmetries hold significant promise for next-generation electronic and quantum devices. 2M-WS, which is a candidate for topological superconductivity, has garnered considerable interest. However, a comprehensive understanding of how its anisotropic features contribute to unconventional superconductivity, along with a simple, reliable method to identify its crystal orientation, remains elusive.

Efficient coupling between optical fibers and on-chip photonic waveguides has long been a crucial issue for photonic chips used in various applications. Edge couplers (ECs) based on an inverse taper have seen widespread utilization due to their intrinsic broadband operation. However, it still remains a big challenge to realize polarization-insensitive low-loss ECs working at the O-band (1,260-1,360 nm), mainly due to the strong polarization dependence of the mode coupling/conversion and the difficulty to fabricate the taper tip with an ultra-small feature size.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores how terahertz waves can be converted to lower frequencies when passing through a GaAs waveguide, specifically at the temporal boundaries created by photoexcitation.
- The photoexcited waveguide facilitates the coupling of different electromagnetic modes, leading to a phenomenon known as frequency down-conversion, with efficient results confirmed by experimental data.
- The findings indicate that the direction of frequency conversion can be controlled by altering the polarization of the incoming waves, which could enhance terahertz communication systems by enabling efficient signal interconversion across various frequency channels.
This paper reports the strong coupling between Al nanostructure and two-dimensional (2D) layered perovskite PEAPbI (PEPI) films. The high exciton binding energy of 118 meV and long carrier lifetime of 216 ps are characterized from the 2D PEAPbI film, which indicates that the excitons in perovskite are robust and can couple to metal plasmons. The ordinary and extraordinary optical dispersions are revealed from the anisotropic 2D perovskite.
