Article Abstract

This study investigates the nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of a newly synthesized pyrimidine derivative, -(4-(4-fluorophenyl)-6-isopropyl-5-(methoxymethyl)pyrimidin-2-yl)--methylmethanesulfonamide (PMMS), with potential applications in advanced optical devices. The structure of PMMS was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD), and its geometry was optimized using density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level. Key intermolecular interactions were analyzed using Hirshfeld surface analysis and 2D-fingerprint plots. Nonlinear optical properties, such as polarizability and hyperpolarizability, were investigated using an iterative electrostatic embedding method, showing significant enhancement in NLO behavior in the crystalline environment. PMMS exhibited a third-order nonlinear susceptibility ( ) superior to known chalcone derivatives, highlighting its potential for optical and photonic applications. Additionally, molecular docking studies revealed the potential of PMMS as a strong acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor, suggesting its possible therapeutic applications in treating neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's. This study provides foundational insights into the NLO properties and bioactivity of PMMS, positioning it as a promising material for future optical technologies and pharmaceutical developments.

Vortex beams are currently drawing a great deal of interest, from fundamental research to several promising applications. While their generation in bulky optical devices limits their use in integrated complex systems, metasurfaces have recently proven successful in creating optical vortices, especially in the linear regime. In the nonlinear domain, of strategic importance for the future of classical and quantum information, to date orbital angular momentum has only been created in qualitative ways, without discussing discrepancies between design and experimental results.

We introduce a novel neuromorphic network architecture based on a lattice of exciton-polariton condensates, intricately interconnected and energized through nonresonant optical pumping. The network employs a binary framework, where each neuron, facilitated by the spatial coherence of pairwise coupled condensates, performs binary operations. This coherence, emerging from the ballistic propagation of polaritons, ensures efficient, network-wide communication.

Optical frequency combs have enabled unique advantages in broadband, high-resolution spectroscopy and precision interferometry. However, quantum mechanics ultimately limits the metrological precision achievable with laser frequency combs. Quantum squeezing has led to significant measurement improvements with continuous wave lasers, but experiments demonstrating metrological advantage with squeezed combs are less developed.
