Transient/time-dependent radiative transfer in a two-dimensional scattering medium is numerically solved by the discontinuous finite element method (DFEM). The time-dependent term of the transient vector radiative transfer equation is discretized by the second-order central difference scheme and the space domain is discretized into non-overlapping quadrilateral elements by using the discontinuous finite element approach. The accuracy of the transient DFEM model for the radiative transfer equation considering the polarization effect is verified by comparing the time-resolved Stokes vector component distributions against the steady solutions for a polarized radiative transfer problem in a two-dimensional rectangular enclosure filled with a scattering medium. The transient polarized radiative transfer problems in a scattering medium exposed to an external beam and in an irregular emitting medium are solved. The distributions of the time-resolved Stokes vector components are presented and discussed.

Accurate luminance-based image generation is critical in physically based simulations, as even minor inaccuracies in radiative transfer calculations can introduce noise or artifacts, adversely affecting image quality. The radiative transfer simulator, SWEET, uses a backward Monte Carlo approach, and its performance is analyzed alongside other simulators to assess how Monte Carlo-induced biases vary with parameters like optical thickness and medium anisotropy. This work details the advancements made to SWEET since the previous publication, with a specific focus on a more comprehensive comparison with other simulators such as Mitsuba.

Ultrafast thermal switches are pivotal for managing heat generated in advanced solid-state applications, including high-speed chiplets, thermo-optical modulators, and on-chip lasers. However, conventional phonon-based switches cannot meet the demand for picosecond-level response times, and existing near-field radiative thermal switches face challenges in efficiently modulating heat transfer across vacuum gaps. To overcome these limitations, we propose an ultrafast thermal switch design based on pump-driven transient polaritons in asymmetric terminals.

This article studies the synthesis, as well as the structural, vibrational, and optical properties of Eu-doped ZnO quantum dots (QDs) and investigates the energy transfer mechanism from the ZnO host to Eu ions using Reisfeld's approximation. Eu-doped ZnO QDs at varying concentrations (0-7%) were successfully prepared using a wet chemical method. The successful doping of Eu ions into the ZnO host lattice, as well as the composition and valence states of the elements present in the sample, were confirmed through X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses.

Thermal quenching (TQ) of luminescence presents a significant barrier to the effective use of optical thermometers in high-temperature applications. Herein, we report a novel uniaxial negative thermal expansion (NTE) phosphor, YMoO:Yb,Nd, synthesized by a solid-state reaction. Under 980 nm laser excitation, it exhibits excellent thermally enhanced near-infrared (NIR) upconversion luminescence (UCL) performance.
