The tungsten diselenide (WSe) has attracted considerable interest owing to their versatile applications, such as p-n junctions, transistors, fiber lasers, spintronics, and conversion of solar energy into electricity. We demonstrate all-optical tuning of light in WSe-coated microfiber (MF) using WSe's broad absorption bandwidth and thermo-optic effect. The transmitted optical power (TOP) can be tuned using external incidence pump lasers (405, 532, and 660 nm). The sensitivity under 405-nm pump light excitation is 0.30 dB/mW. A rise/fall time of ~ 15.3/16.9 ms is achieved under 532-nm pump light excitation. Theoretical simulations are performed to investigate the tuning mechanism of TOP. The advantages of this device are easy fabrication, all-optical control, high sensitivity, and fast response. The proposed all-optical tunable device has potential applications in all-optical circuitry, all-optical modulator, and multi-dimensionally tunable optical devices, etc.

A central question in neuroscience is how synaptic plasticity shapes the feature selectivity of neurons in behaving animals. Hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons display one of the most striking forms of feature selectivity by forming spatially and contextually selective receptive fields called place fields, which serve as a model for studying the synaptic basis of learning and memory. Various forms of synaptic plasticity have been proposed as cellular substrates for the emergence of place fields.

Chalcogenide-based nonvolatile phase change materials (PCMs) have a long history of usage, from bulk disk memory to all-optic neuromorphic computing circuits. Being able to perform uniform phase transitions over a subwavelength scale makes PCMs particularly suitable for photonic applications. For switching between nonvolatile states, the conventional chalcogenide phase change materials are brought to a melting temperature to break the covalent bonds.

Article Synopsis
- Hyperbolic polaritons in van der Waals crystals show promise for manipulating light on a very small scale, attracting significant research interest.
- Phase-change materials (PCMs), especially the metallic crystalline InSbTe (IST), provide a tunable environment for these polaritons, enhancing their confinement and propagation.
- This research suggests advanced ways to engineer polaritons using plasmonic materials, offering new possibilities for flexible nanophotonics.
We propose a novel, to the best of our knowledge, scheme for mid-infrared upconversion imaging with high tunability between bright-field and edge-enhanced modalities. The involved engineering of the nonlinear process favors shaping the optical transfer function of the imaging system. Consequently, a nonlinear angle-selective filter can be configured to perform an all-optical Fourier processing of the image, which highly depends on phase-matching parameters.
