This paper presents a sheet of graphene-ribbon waveguide as a simple and ultra-compact splitter and filter in the mid-infrared waveband. The central wavelength of the graphene surface plasmons (GSPs) and the coupling intensity of this splitter can be tuned by changing the physical parameters, such as the chemical potential, the width of the waveguide, the gap between neighboring graphene ribbons, the refractive index of the substrate, the carrier relaxation time, etc. The effects of these parameters on GSP waves and beam-splitter specifications are numerically depicted based on the finite-difference time-domain method. This proposed structure can be used to construct an ultra-compact fast-tunable beam splitter, filter, modulator, and switch in the mid-infrared range.

This study proposes a spin-valley electron beam splitter based on the inner-edge states in a topological-insulator junction, which can allocate different ratios of spin-valley current outputs. Since the inner-edge states are associated with the "nearest path selection" mechanism, this device is referred to as the interface-modulating spin-valley electron beam splitter. Additionally, two perfect spin-valley filters in similar topological-insulator junctions are established in this study.

Next-generation 6G communication holds the potential to revolutionize data transfer, enabling the realization of eXtended Reality (XR) with enhanced sensory experiences. To achieve this, advanced components such as high-performance intensity/phase modulators, waveguides, multiplexers, splitters, combiners, and filters operating in terahertz (THz) regime, specifically within the frequency range of 0.1-1 THz, are essential.

However, it remains a significant challenge to simultaneously achieve a better balance in bandwidth, crosstalk (CT), polarization extinction ratio (PER), and compact footprint of the PSR. In this article, a photonic crystal nanobeam (PCN) structure is introduced to PSR for large bandwidth and compact size, with a device length of only 104 µm.

- Compressed spectral imaging (CSI) captures spectral images in one shot using a mask, but often misses some information hidden by that mask.
- Our approach takes advantage of this overlooked information by using a sparse mask design to gather both spectral data and additional spatial information at the same time.
- We enhance the reconstruction quality of spectral images by using a spatial-spectral dual filtering technique, integrating everything into one device to avoid issues normally caused by beam splitters in traditional systems.
