We propose and validate experimentally a time-delay to intensity mapping process based on second-order optical integrators. This mapping provides dynamic control of the intensity modulation profile of a waveform based on a purely passive and linear process. In particular, we can realize linear intensity control by tuning the time-delay between two optical pulses launched into a second-order optical integrator. We suggest and experimentally prove the use of this mapping process for reconfigurable optical arbitrary waveform generation.

Given a number of data sets for evaluating the performance of single reference methods for the low-lying excited states of closed-shell molecules, a comprehensive data set for assessing the performance of multireference methods for the low-lying excited states of open-shell systems is still lacking. For this reason, we propose an extension (QUEST#4X) of the radical subset of QUEST#4 ( , , 3720) to cover 110 doublet and 39 quartet excited states. Near-exact results obtained by iterative configuration interaction with selection and second-order perturbation correction (iCIPT2) are taken as benchmark to calibrate static-dynamic-static configuration interaction (SDSCI) and static-dynamic-static second-order perturbation theory (SDSPT2), which are minimal MRCI and CI-like perturbation theory, respectively.

Although second-order surface analyses, mainly mean power and cylinder maps, are commonly used to characterize the progressive addition lens (PAL) surface, recently it has been suggested that third-order variations may also have relevancy in PAL optical and visual performance. This paper proposes a third-order smoothness metric, and its associated Riemannian distance, to further characterize PAL's surface optical performance. These metrics can provide a complementary scoring tool to those classical ones, particularly, to analyze the transition zones between far, near, intermediate, and blending zones.

The current study used sustainable and green approaches to convey polymer composites with desired optical properties. The extracted green tea dye (GTD) enriched with ligands was used to synthesize zinc metal complexes. Green chitosan biopolymer incorporated with green synthesized metal complex using casting technique was used to deliver polymer composites with improved optical properties.

Wastewater is commonly contaminated with many pharmaceutical pollutants, so an efficient purification method is required for their removal from wastewater. In this regard, an innovative tertiary Se/SnO@CMC/Fe-GA nanocomposite was synthesized through encapsulation of metal organic frameworks (Fe-glutaric acid) onto Se/SnO-embedded-sodium carboxy methyl cellulose matrix to thoroughly evaluate its effectiveness for adsorption of levofloxacin drug from wastewater. The prepared Se/SnO@CMC/Fe-GA nanocomposite was analyzed via UV-Vis spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) to valuate optical property, size, morphology, thermal stability, and chemical composition.

As an approximation to SDSCI [static-dynamic-static (SDS) configuration interaction (CI), a minimal MRCI; , , 1481], SDSPT2 [ , , 2696] is a CI-like multireference (MR) second-order perturbation theory (PT2) that treats single and multiple roots in the same manner. This feature permits the use of configuration selection over a large complete active space (CAS) to end up with a much reduced reference space ̃, which is connected only with a small portion (̃) of the full first-order interacting space connected to . The most expensive portion of the reduced interacting ̃ space (which involves three active orbitals) can further be truncated by partially bypassing its generation followed by an integral-based cutoff.
