Article Abstract
We demonstrate a novel system that uses a piezoelectric transducer (PZT)-actuated mirror for laser stabilization. A combination of a simple mechanical design and electronic circuits is used to realize an ultra-flat frequency response, which enables an effective feedback bandwidth of 500 kHz. The PZT also performed well when used in a mode-locked laser with a GHz repetition rate, to which it is difficult to apply an electro-optic modulator (EOM).

Complex-valued neural networks process both amplitude and phase information, in contrast to conventional artificial neural networks, achieving additive capabilities in recognizing phase-sensitive data inherent in wave-related phenomena. The ever-increasing data capacity and network scale place substantial demands on underlying computing hardware. In parallel with the successes and extensive efforts made in electronics, optical neuromorphic hardware is promising to achieve ultra-high computing performances due to its inherent analog architecture and wide bandwidth.

With the development of science and technology, there is a great demand for electromagnetic wave absorbing materials for both military and civilian purposes. Among them, carbonyl iron powder (CIP) has attracted a lot of attention due to its mature production system and good electromagnetic wave loss capability. However, the application of CIP is limited due to poor impedance matching, poor corrosion resistance, and poor oxidation resistance.

The most common transducers used to generate ultrasound in medical applications are based on short electrical pulses applied to piezoelectric transducers and capacitive micromachined ultrasound transducers. However, piezoelectric transducers have a limited frequency bandwidth, defined by their physical thickness, and capacitive micromachined ultrasound transducers have poor transmission efficiency. The high frequency cutoff limits the spatial resolution of ultrasonic images.

The need to optimize size, weight, and power of high-power microwave (HPM) systems has motivated the development of solid-state HPM sources, such as nonlinear transmission lines (NLTLs), which utilize gyromagnetic precession or dispersion to generate RF. One recent development implemented the NLTL as a pulse forming line (PFL) to form a nonlinear pulse forming line (NPFL) system that substantially reduced the system's size by eliminating the need for a separate PFL; however, matching standard loads can be challenging. This paper describes the development of a tapered NPFL using an exponentially tapered composite based ferrite core containing 60% nickel zinc ferrite (by volume) encased in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and encapsulated in a 5% barium strontium titanate shell.

Fabry-Pérot (F-P) cavity and metal hole array are classic photonic devices. Integrating F-P cavity with holey metal typically enhances interfacial reflection and dampens wave transmission. In this work, a hybrid bound surface state is found within rectangular metal holes on a silicon substrate by merging an extraordinary optical transmission (EOT) mode and a high-order F-P cavity mode both spatially and spectrally.
