TL;DR: The device, which uses two silicon rings 5 micrometers in radius, is passive yet maintains optical nonreciprocity for a broad range of input power levels, and it performs equally well even if the backward input power is higher than the forward input.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate the line-by-line pulse shaping of frequency combs generated in silicon nitride ring resonators, and observe two distinct paths to comb formation that exhibit strikingly different time domain behaviours.

TL;DR: In this article, a fabrication procedure that leads to the demonstration of "finger-shaped" Si3N4 microresonators with intrinsic Qs up to 17 million at a free spectrum range (FSR) of 24.7 GHz that are suitable for telecommunication and microwave photonics applications.

TL;DR: Gold nanorod molecular probes (GNrMPs) were fabricated by subsequent attachment of antibodies to the activated GNRs and were used to visualize and detect cell surface biomarkers in normal and transformed human breast epithelial cells, demonstrating the potential of developing novel biosensors using gold nanorods.

TL;DR: The on-chip optical delay elements offer an integrated approach to accurately manipulating individual radio-frequency waveform features without constraints set by the speed and timing jitter of electronics, and should find applications ranging from high-speed wireless to defence electronics.
