Article Abstract

In this paper, a reflective microring resonator (MRR)-based microwave photonic (MWP) sensor incorporating a self-attention convolutional neural network (CNN) is presented. An MRR cascaded with an inverse-designed optical reflector is adopted as the sensor probe to allow for utilizing the responses generated from both the clockwise and counterclockwise resonant modes. Through the MWP interrogation, the cascaded resonant modes can be transformed into distinctive deep radio-frequency (RF) spectral notches under different modulator bias conditions. By using a self-attention assisted CNN processing to leverage both the local and global features of the RF spectra, a sensing model with improved accuracy can be established. As a proof of concept, the proposed scheme is experimentally demonstrated in temperature sensing. Even with a small dataset, the root-mean-square error of the sensing model established after training is achieved at 0.026°C, which shows a 10-fold improvement in sensing accuracy compared to that of the traditional linear fitting model.

Therapies against hematological malignancies using chimeric antigen receptors (CAR)-T cells have shown great potential; however, therapeutic success in solid tumors has been constrained due to limited tumor trafficking and infiltration, as well as the scarcity of cancer-specific solid tumor antigens. Therefore, the enrichment of tumor-antigen specific CAR-T cells in the desired region is critical for improving therapy efficacy and reducing systemic on-target/off-tumor side effects. Here, we functionalized human CAR-T cells with superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs), making them magnetically controllable for site-directed targeting.

As one of the typical applications of metamaterials, the invisibility cloak has raised vast research interests. After many years' research efforts, the invisibility cloak has extended its applicability from optics and acoustics to electrostatics and thermal diffusion. One scientific challenge that has significantly restricted the practical application of the invisibility cloak is the strong background dependence, that is, all passive cloaking devices realized thus far are unable to resist variation in the background refractive index.

Space division multiplexing (SDM) with Hermite Gaussian (HG) modes, for instance, can significantly boost the transmission link capacity. However, SDM is not suitable in existing single mode fiber networks, and in long-distance wireless, microwave, THz or optical links, the far-field beam distribution may present a problem. Recently it has been demonstrated, that time domain HG modes can be employed to enhance the link capacity.

State Key Laboratory of Extreme Photonics and Instrumentation, College of Optical Science and Engineering, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, 310058, China.

The continuous push for high-performance photonic switches is one of the most crucial premises for the sustainable scaling of programmable and reconfigurable photonic circuits for a wide spectrum of applications. Conventional optical switches rely on the perturbative mechanisms of mode coupling or mode interference, resulting in inherent bottlenecks in their switching performance concerning size, power consumption and bandwidth. Here we propose and realize a silicon photonic 2×2 elementary switch based on a split waveguide crossing (SWX) consisting of two halves.
