We demonstrate the scanning and control of the carrier-envelope phases (CEPs) of two adjacent spectral components totally spanning more than one-octave in the short-wave infrared (SWIR) wavelength region by operating two individual acousto-optic programmable dispersive filters (AOPDFs) applied to each of the two spectral components. The total CEP shift of the synthesized sub-cycle pulse composed of the two spectral components is controlled with simultaneous scans of the two CEPs. The resultant error of the controlled CEP was 642 mrad, so that this technique is useful for searching zero CEP of the synthesized pulse with the maximum field amplitude. In addition, we conduct a closed feedback loop to compensate for the CEP fluctuation by using the two AOPDFs together. As a result, we succeed to reduce the rms error of the CEP from 399 mrad to 237 mrad.

Fluorescent lifetimes of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and associated physicochemical parameters were measured over 14 months in an estuary in Southern California, USA. Measurements were made on 77 samples from sites near the inlet, mid-estuary, and outlet to maximize the range of physicochemical variables. Time-resolved fluorescence data were well fit to a triexponential model with an intermediate lifetime component (τ: 1 to 5 ns), a long lifetime component (τ: 2 to 15 ns), and a short lifetime component (τ: < 1 ns).

Background: Dementia is age-related with a significant genetic contribution, yet genome-wide association studies have not fully accounted for heritability. This discrepancy may in part be due to reliance on SNPs and small indels. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data in the Japanese population may reveal population-specific susceptibility loci for dementia.

Solutions for scalable, high-performance optical control are important for the development of scaled atom-based quantum technologies. Modulation of many individual optical beams is central to applying arbitrary gate and control sequences on arrays of atoms or atom-like systems. At telecom wavelengths, miniaturization of optical components via photonic integration has pushed the scale and performance of classical and quantum optics far beyond the limitations of bulk devices.

Multicolor microscopy and super-resolution optical microscopy are two widely used techniques that greatly enhance the ability to distinguish and resolve structures in cellular imaging. These methods have individually transformed cellular imaging by allowing detailed visualization of cellular and subcellular structures, as well as organelle interactions. However, integrating multicolor and super-resolution microscopy into a single method remains challenging due to issues like spectral overlap, crosstalk, photobleaching, phototoxicity, and technical complexity.

Here we present the first use of principal component analysis of the full spectrum of a single europium complex to differentiate between structurally-similar analytes. We demonstrate that it can be used to distinguish between the nucleoside phosphate guests AMP, ADP, and ATP.
