We report a unique concept to implement a high-order mode pass filter using mode converters. Our proposed design method implements a high-order mode pass filter of any order, uses different mode converters available, and applies to a variety of planar lightwave circuit material platforms. We fabricate a broadband fundamental mode filter device using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer and Y-junctions to demonstrate our idea. The performance of the fabricated device is demonstrated experimentally in the wavelength range of 1.530-1.565 μm (C-band). This filter exhibits a simulated extinction ratio of 37 dB with an excess loss of 0.52 dB for the first-order mode transmission.

Optomechanical sensors provide a platform for probing acoustic/vibrational properties at the micro-scale. Here, we used cavity optomechanical sensors to interrogate the acoustic environment of adjacent air bubbles in water. We report experimental observations of the volume acoustic modes of these bubbles, including both the fundamental Minnaert breathing mode and a family of higher-order modes extending into the megahertz frequency range.

Fraudulent reviews posted by spammers on the online shopping websites mislead consumers' purchasing decisions. To curb fraudulent reviews, many methods have been proposed for detecting spammers. However, the existing spammer detection methods operate in a "black box" mode and lack a reasonable interpretation for their detection results.

Whispering-gallery mode (WGM) resonators, renowned for their high Q-factors and narrow line widths, are widely utilized in integrated photonics. Integrating diffraction gratings onto WGM cavities has gained significant attention because these gratings function as azimuthal refractive index modulators, enabling single-mode WGM emissions and supporting beams with orbital angular momentum (OAM). The introduction of curved grating structures facilitates guided mode resonances by coupling high-order diffracted waves with leaking modes from the waveguide.

The generalized Kerker effect (GKE) arising from the interference of high-order multipoles has attracted more interest due to its direct correlation with various functionalities in nanophotonics. The realization of the GKE at oblique incidence is highly desired yet remains underexplored. Herein, we report the experimental observation of the GKE by leveraging quasi-bound states in the continuum (QBICs) supported by a silicon metasurface.

Background: E-learning can be an effective and efficient mode of training healthcare practitioners. E-learning training for diabetes prevention program coaches was designed and developed with input from end users. Insight from those who deliver the training and coaches who have taken the training can provide critical feedback for further refinement of the e-learning training.
