We have systematically investigated the wideband slow light in two-dimensional material graphene, revealing that graphene exhibits much larger slow light capability than other materials. The slow light performances including material dispersion, bandwidth, dynamic control ability, delay-bandwidth product, propagation loss, and group-velocity dispersion are studied, proving graphene exhibits significant advantages in these performances. A large delay-bandwidth product has been obtained in a simple yet functional grating waveguide with slow down factor c/v(g) at 163 and slow light bandwidth Δω at 94.4 nm centered at 10.38 μm, which is several orders of magnitude larger than previous results. Physical explanation of the enhanced slow light in graphene is given. Our results indicate graphene is an excellent platform for slow light applications, promoting various future slow light devices based on graphene.

Enhancing signal-to-noise ratio in real-time LED-based photoacoustic imaging: A comparative study of CNN-based deep learning architectures.

Recent advances in Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology have enabled a more affordable high frame rate photoacoustic imaging (PA) alternative to traditional laser-based PA systems that are costly and have slow pulse repetition rate. However, a major disadvantage with LEDs is the low energy outputs that do not produce high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) PA images. There have been recent advancements in integrating deep learning methodologies aimed to address the challenge of improving SNR in LED-PA images, yet comprehensive evaluations across varied datasets and architectures are lacking.

1. It remains unclear whether slow-growing broilers actually represent an overall animal welfare improvement - a major knowledge gap for policymakers and animal welfare NGOs. This paper addresses this knowledge gap by using an economic model to produce an all-things-considered estimate of the welfare effects of slow-growing genotypes.

The existence of trait coordination in roots and leaves has recently been debated, with studies reaching opposing conclusions. Here, we assessed trait coordination across twelve boreal tree species. We show that there is only partial evidence for above-belowground coordination for "fast-slow" economic traits across boreal tree species, i.

Smart antibacterial Pickering emulsion can respond to the stimulation of environmental conditions to control the release of antibacterial agents, protecting the quality and safety of food. In this study, FeO was grafted on the cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) via ultrasound-assisted in situ co-precipitation to synthesize the magnetic cellulose nanocomposite particles. When the ratio of FeCl and FeCl was 1.
