In this Letter, we present the modeling, design, and characterization of a light sheet-based structured light illumination (SLI) light field microscopy (LFM) system for fast 3D imaging, where a digital micromirror device is employed to rapidly generate designed sinusoidal patterns in the imaging field. Specifically, we sequentially obtain uniformly illuminated and structured light field images, followed by post-processing with a new, to the best of our knowledge, algorithm that combines the deconvolution and HiLo algorithms. This enables fast volumetric imaging with improved optical cross-sectioning capability at a speed of 50 volumes per second over an imaging field of 250×250×80µ in the , , and axis, respectively. Mathematical models have been derived to explain the performance enhancement due to suppressed background noises. To verify the results, imaging experiments on fluorescence beads, fern spore, and Drosophila brain samples, have been performed. The results indicate that the light sheet-based SLI-LFM presents a fast 3D imaging solution with substantially improved optical cross-sectioning capability in comparison with a standard light sheet-based LFM. The new light field imaging method may find important applications in the field of biophotonics.

Room temperature (RT) synthesized mixed bromine and chlorine CsPbBrCl perovskite quantum dots (Pe-QDs) offer notable advantages for blue quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs), such as cost-effective processing and narrow luminescence peaks. However, the efficiency of blue QLEDs using these RT-synthesized QDs has been limited by inferior crystallinity and deep defect presence. In this study, we demonstrate a precise approach to constructing high-quality gradient core-shell (CS) structures of CsPbBrCl QD through anion exchange.

In this work, CaWO (CWO) phosphors were successfully synthesized using a high-temperature solid-state method, exhibiting an anomalous far-red/near-infrared (FR-NIR) emission centered at 685 nm. The origin of this FR-NIR emission is confirmed through Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), density functional theory (DFT) calculations, and heterovalent cationic substitution (Y/Na → Ca). These analyses indicate that interstitial oxygen (O) defects within the lattice are primarily responsible for the FR-NIR emission.

The integration of a photodetector that converts optical signals into electrical signals is essential for scalable integrated lithium niobate photonics. Two-dimensional materials provide a potential high-efficiency on-chip detection capability. Here, we demonstrate an efficient on-chip photodetector based on a few layers of MoTe on a thin film lithium niobate waveguide and integrate it with a microresonator operating in an optical telecommunication band.

Semiconductor polymeric graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) photocatalysts have garnered significant and rapidly increasing interest in the realm of visible light-driven hydrogen evolution reactions. This interest stems from their straightforward synthesis, ease of functionalization, appealing electronic band structure, high physicochemical and thermal stability, and robust photocatalytic activity. This review starts with the basic principle of photocatalysis and the development history, synthetic strategy, and structural properties of g-CN materials, followed by the rational design and engineering of g-CN from the perspectives of nano-morphological control and electronic band tailoring.
