A broadband polarization-independent infrared photon upconversion scheme based on nanophotonic waveguides on the lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI) platform is proposed. With the introduction of higher-order-mode dispersion engineering, polarization-independent and broadband photon upconversion with a maximum bandwidth of nearly 46 nm is achieved in this device. The proposed broadband polarization-independent photon upconversion structure shows great potential applications in on-chip infrared photon detection and nonlinear photonics.

Local therapeutic action and targeted drug release are promising approaches compared to traditional systemic drug administration. This is especially relevant for nitric oxide (NO), as its effects change dramatically depending on concentration and cellular context. Materials capable of releasing NO in deep tissues in a controlled manner might open new therapeutic opportunities.

As a nonlinear optical phenomenon, upconversion (UC) occurs when two or more low-energy excitation photons are sequentially absorbed and emitted. Upconversion nanomaterials exhibit superior photostability, non-invasiveness, a unique near-infrared anti-Stokes shift, and enhanced tissue penetration capability. However, general upconversion nanomaterials typically utilize visible light (400-700 nm) for excitation, leading to limited tissue penetration, background signal interference, limited excitation efficiency and imaging quality issues due to tissue absorption and scattering.

Upconverted circularly polarized luminescence (UC-CPL) active organic and organic-inorganic composite materials have garnered increasing attention due to their vast potential applications in areas such as 3D displays, encryptions, spintronics and optoelectronic devices. However, effective methods for fabricating chiral inorganic materials exhibiting UC-CPL remain a challenge. Herein, we propose an approach for the synthesis of UC-CPL active chiral mesostructured CeO2 powders (CMCs) via a hydrothermal growth method, using L/D-aspartic acid as symmetry-breaking and structure-directing agents.

Ultrathin and low-loss phase-change materials (PCMs) are highly valued for their fast and effective phase transitions and applications in reconfigurable photonic chips, metasurfaces, optical modulators, sensors, photonic memories, and neuromorphic computing. However, conventional PCMs mostly suffer from high intrinsic losses in the near-infrared (NIR) region, limiting their potential for high quality factor (-factor) resonant metasurfaces. Here we present the design and fabrication of tunable bound states in the continuum (BIC) metasurfaces using the ultra-low-loss PCM SbSe.

Donor-acceptor dyads are promising materials for improving triplet-sensitized photon upconversion due to faster intramolecular energy transfer (ET), which unfortunately competes with charge transfer (CT) dynamics. To circumvent the issue associated with CT, we propose a novel purely organic donor-acceptor dyad, where the CT character is confined within the donor moiety. In this work, we report the synthesis and characterization of a stable organic radical donor-triplet acceptor dyad () consisting of the acceptor perylene () linked to the donor (4--carbazolyl-2,6-dichlorophenyl)-bis(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)methyl radical ().
