In this paper, we proposed a 128-channel hybrid mode/polarization/wavelength (de)multiplexer by monolithically integrating four 16-wavelength-channel (de)multiplexers based on bi-directional MRRs arrays and an 8-channel hybrid mode/polarization (de)multiplexer. The hybrid mode/polarization (de)multiplexer consists of a polarization beam splitter (PBS) and cascaded six asymmetric directional couplers (ADCs). The present 128-channel hybrid (de)multiplexer utilizes four modes, dual polarizations, and sixteen wavelengths to improve the data transmission capacity of optical communication systems. For the fabricated hybrid (de)multiplexer, the channel spacing is 1.4 nm, and we used thermal tuning electrodes with a tuning efficiency of 0.45 nm/mW to calibrate resonance wavelengths. The measurement results show the insertion loss is 3∼8.5 dB, the inter-mode crosstalk is -7∼-23 dB, and the inter-wavelength crosstalk is-8∼-20 dB. The proposed (de)multiplexer is a promising approach to enhance the transmission capacity and has great potential in high-speed data transmission.

Optical phased array (OPA) is a useful device for achieving the solid-state beam scanner required in compact light detection and ranging. However, conventional OPAs actively control the phase difference between arrays. Therefore, power consumption is extremely high in a high-resolution OPA.

Unlabelled: Understanding mental processes in complex human behavior is a key issue in driving, representing a milestone for developing user-centered assistive driving devices. Here, we propose a hybrid method based on electroencephalographic (EEG) and electromyographic (EMG) signatures to distinguish left and right steering in driving scenarios. Twenty-four participants took part in the experiment consisting of recordings of 128-channel EEG and EMG activity from deltoids and forearm extensors in non-ecological and ecological steering tasks.

Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) has become a novel biomedical imaging modality for scientific research and clinical diagnosis. It combines the advantages of spectroscopic optical absorption contrast and acoustic resolution with deep penetration. In this article, an imaging size-adjustable PAT system is proposed for potential clinical applications such as breast cancer detection and screening, which can adapt to imaging targets with various sizes.

Article Synopsis
  • Developing quantum computers requires effectively distributing entanglement among many qubits, and diamond colour centres are promising candidates due to their remote entanglement and coherent control capabilities.
  • This research introduces a method to integrate high-yield "quantum microchiplets" made of diamond waveguide arrays into photonic integrated circuits, achieving a defect-free arrangement.
  • The study demonstrates that individual colour centre transitions can be finely tuned, allowing for consistent and stable optical performance, which is vital for advancing quantum repeaters and processors.
