We present a mode multiplexer based on vertical directional couplers that are formed by adiabatic-tapered waveguides. We design and fabricate the device via the micro-fabrication processing to (de)multiplex the E, E, and E modes from the few-mode bus waveguide. Our experimental device shows a coupling ratio higher than 98.6% and 97.0% for the E and E modes, respectively, over the C + L band and beyond. The modal cross talk of this device can be lower than -17.1 dB, -18.4 dB, and -15.1 dB caused by the unintended E, E, and E modes, respectively. This mode multiplexer can work over a broader wavelength range with weak polarization sensitivity, which could be used in the mode-division-multiplexing systems where mode (de)multiplexing is required in the expanded communication wavelength window other than the C-band.

We present direct frequency comb cavity ring-down spectroscopy with Vernier filtering as a straightforward approach to sensitive and multiplexed trace gas detection. The high finesse cavity acts both to extend the interaction length with the sample and as a spectral filter, alleviating the need for dispersive elements or an interferometer. In this demonstration, a free running interband cascade laser was used to generate a comb centered at 3.

Photonics offers a promising platform for quantum computing, owing to the availability of chip integration for mass-manufacturable modules, fibre optics for networking and room-temperature operation of most components. However, experimental demonstrations are needed of complete integrated systems comprising all basic functionalities for universal and fault-tolerant operation. Here we construct a (sub-performant) scale model of a quantum computer using 35 photonic chips to demonstrate its functionality and feasibility.

An innovative biosorbent-based water remediation unit could reduce the demand for freshwater while protecting the surface and groundwater sources by using saline water resources, such as brine, brackish water, and seawater for irrigation. Herein, for the first time, we introduce a simple, rapid, and cost-effective iron(III)-tannate biosorbent-based technology, which functions as a stand-alone fixed-bed filter system for the treatment of salinity, heavy-metal contaminants, and pathogens present in a variety of water resources. Our approach presents a streamlined, cost-efficient, energy-saving, and sustainable avenue for water treatment, distinct from current adsorption desalination or conventional membrane techniques supplemented with chemical and UV treatments for disinfection.

() is one of the most prevalent threats, capable of inducing diverse illnesses and presenting a serious threat to public health. Herein, we demonstrate a novel dual-mode colorimetric/fluorescence biosensor based on the xponential mplification reaction and trand isplacement eactions (EASDR), which has multiplexing capability that significantly promotes the anchoring and trapping of Pt nanoparticles (Pt NPs) and fluorescent dyes for sensitive detection of (). The method works by targeting specific bacteria with aptamers and promoting repeated EASDR to affect the immobilization of Pt NPs and fluorescent dyes in the orifice plate, which could produce changes in fluorescence and colorimetric signals.

Since the modal decomposition is carried out optically, this approach is able to obtain the modal content at speeds up to the GHz level. In order to demonstrate such performance, we have applied this approach to the modal analysis of a -switched pulse generated in a multimode fiber with alternating intra-pulse mode content.
