We experimentally demonstrated doubly resonant oscillator (DRO), signal singly resonant oscillator (SSRO), and idler singly resonant oscillator (ISRO) ZnGeP (ZGP) optical parametric oscillators (OPOs), respectively, pumped by a 1 kHz Q-switched Ho:YAG laser. At the full incident pump energy, the ISRO got the highest output pulse energy of 8.38 mJ and the best beam quality factors Mx2 of 2.3 for idler (4.6 μm) and 2.7 for signal (3.8 μm) but got the highest threshold of 3.97 MW/cm. The DRO had the lowest threshold of 3.12 MW/cm but had the lowest output energy of 8.29 mJ and the worst Mx2 of 3.9 for idler and 4.1 for signal. The output laser characteristics of the SSRO were slightly worse than those of the ISRO. The experimental results show that the ISRO is the most suitable resonant regime for high brightness mid-infrared ZGP planar ring OPOs pumped by 2 μm nanosecond lasers.

Vibration sensors are integral to a multitude of engineering applications, yet the development of low-cost, easily assembled devices remains a formidable challenge. This study presents a highly sensitive flexible vibration sensor, based on the piezoresistive effect, tailored for the detection of high-dynamic-range vibrations and accelerations. The sensor's design incorporates a polylactic acid (PLA) housing with cavities and spherical recesses, a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membrane, and electrodes that are positioned above.

A review of natural materials that exhibit negative permittivity or permeability, including gaseous plasma, metals, superconductors, and ferromagnetic materials, is presented. It is shown that samples made of such materials can store large amount of the electric (magnetic) energy and create plasmonic resonators for certain values of permittivity, permeability, and dimensions. The electric and the magnetic plasmon resonances in spherical samples made of such materials are analyzed using rigorous electrodynamic methods, and the results of the analysis are compared to experimental data and to results obtained with other methods.

A Hz level narrow linewidth all-optical microwave oscillator based on the torsional radial acoustic modes (TR) of a single-mode fiber (SMF) is proposed and validated. The all-optical microwave oscillator consists of a 20 km SMF main ring cavity and a 5 km SMF sub ring cavity. The main ring cavity provides forward stimulated Brillouin scattering gain and utilizes a nonlinear polarization rotation effect to achieve TR mode locking.

Radio photonic technologies have emerged as a promising solution for addressing microwave frequency synthesis challenges in current and future communication and sensing systems. One particularly effective approach is the optoelectronic oscillator (OEO), a simple and cost-effective electro-optical system. The OEO can generate microwave signals with low phase noise and high oscillation frequencies, often outperforming traditional electrical methods.

An electromagnetic vibration energy harvester with a 2:1:2 internal resonance (IR) is proposed, allowing for the simultaneous activation of two IRs within the system in order to enhance its performance in terms of bandwidth and harvested power. The device consists of three magnetically coupled oscillators separated by an adjustable gap to tune the system eigenfrequencies and achieve a 2:1:2 IR. Numerical investigations are conducted to predict the behavior of the proposed device, and a multi-objective optimization procedure is employed to enhance the harvester's performance by introducing mass perturbations.
