TL;DR: In this paper , a multi-mode surface plasmon resonance absorber based on dart-type single-layer graphene is proposed, which has the advantages of polarization independence, tunability, high sensitivity, high figure of merit, etc.
Abstract: In this paper, a multi-mode surface plasmon resonance absorber based on dart-type single-layer graphene is proposed, which has the advantages of polarization independence, tunability, high sensitivity, high figure of merit, etc. The device consists of a top layer dart-like patterned single-layer graphene array, a thicker silicon dioxide spacer layer and a metal reflector layer, and has simple structural characteristics. The numerical results show that the device achieves the perfect polarization-independent absorption at the resonance wavelengths of λI = 3369.55 nm, λII = 3508.35 nm, λIII = 3689.09 nm and λIV = 4257.72 nm, with the absorption efficiencies of 99.78%, 99.40%, 99.04% and 99.91%, respectively. The absorption effect of the absorber can be effectively regulated and controlled by adjusting the numerical values such as the geometric parameters and the structural period p of the single-layer graphene array. In addition, by controlling the chemical potential and the relaxation time of the graphene layer, the resonant wavelength and the absorption efficiency of the mode can be dynamically tuned. And can keep high absorption in a wide incident angle range of 0° to 50°. At last, we exposed the structure to different environmental refractive indices, and obtained the corresponding maximum sensitivities in four resonance modes, which are SI = 635.75 nm RIU−1, SII = 695.13 nm RIU−1, SIII = 775.38 nm RIU−1 and SIV = 839.39 nm RIU−1. Maximum figure of merit are 54.03 RIU−1, 51.49 RIU−1, 43.56 RIU−1, and 52.14 RIU−1, respectively. Therefore, this study has provided a new inspiration for the design of the graphene-based tunable multi-band perfect metamaterial absorber, which can be applied to the fields such as photodetectors and chemical sensors.

TL;DR: In this paper , the performance of c-Si/ZnO heterojunction ultrathin-film solar cells (SCs) is enhanced by an integrated structure of C-Si trapezoidal pyramids on the top of a cSi active layer and Al pyramids in the active layer on the Al back electrode.
Abstract: In this work, we demonstrate that the performance of c-Si/ZnO heterojunction ultrathin-film solar cells (SCs) is enhanced by an integrated structure of c-Si trapezoidal pyramids on the top of a c-Si active layer and Al pyramids in the active layer on the Al back electrode. The top c-Si trapezoidal pyramid (TTP) increases the absorption of short wavelengths by lengthening the propagation distance of incident light and coupling the incident light into photonic modes in the active layer. The bottom Al pyramid (BP) improves the overall optical absorption performance especially for the long wavelength band by forming the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) mode in the active layer. As a result, the average absorption in the entire wavelength range (300-1400 nm) reaches 93.16%. The optimized short-circuit current density (Jsc) and photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE) of ultra-thin film c-Si/ZnO SCs are 41.94 mA cm-2 and 18.97%, respectively. Moreover, the effect of different illumination angles on the optical absorption of the SCs was explored. The SCs have good absorption when the incident angles are in the range from 0 degrees to 60 degrees. Furthermore, the underlying mechanism for the enhancement of photon absorption in the SCs was discussed through careful analysis of the electric field intensity profile at different wavelengths. It was found that the electric field tends to concentrate around the bottom pyramids and top trapezoidal pyramids even for the long-wave band, which results in an excellent light-trapping performance.

TL;DR: In this article , a highly sensitive methane (CH4) sensor based on light-induced thermoelastic spectroscopy (LITES) using a 2.33 µm diode laser with high power is demonstrated for the first time.
Abstract: In this manuscript, a highly sensitive methane (CH4) sensor based on light-induced thermoelastic spectroscopy (LITES) using a 2.33 µm diode laser with high power is demonstrated for the first time. A quartz tuning fork (QTF) with an intrinsic resonance frequency of 32.768 kHz was used to detect the light-induced thermoelastic signal. A Herriot multi-pass cell with an effective optical path of 10 m was adopted to increase the laser absorption. The laser wavelength modulation depth and concentration response of this CH4-LITES sensor were investigated. The sensor showed excellent long term stability when Allan deviation analysis was performed. An adaptive Savitzky-Golay (S-G) filtering algorithm with χ2 statistical criterion was firstly introduced to the LITES technique. The SNR of this CH4-LITES sensor was improved by a factor of 2.35 and the minimum detection limit (MDL) with an integration time of 0.1 s was optimized to 0.5 ppm. This reported CH4-LITES sensor with sub ppm-level detection ability is of great value in applications such as environmental monitoring and industrial safety.

TL;DR: In this article , Si nanoantennas were designed to support two partially overlapping quasi-bound-state-in-the-continuum modes with a gradient descent algorithm to achieve sharp spectral edges at red wavelengths.
Abstract: While structural colors are ubiquitous in nature, saturated reds are mysteriously absent. This long-standing problem of achieving Schrödinger’s red demands sharp transitions from “stopband” to a high-reflectance “passband” with total suppression of higher-order resonances at blue/green wavelengths. Current approaches based on nanoantennas are insufficient to satisfy all conditions simultaneously. Here, we designed Si nanoantennas to support two partially overlapping quasi–bound-states-in-the-continuum modes with a gradient descent algorithm to achieve sharp spectral edges at red wavelengths. Meanwhile, high-order modes at blue/green wavelengths are suppressed via engineering the substrate-induced diffraction channels and the absorption of amorphous Si. This design produces possibly the most saturated and brightest reds with ~80% reflectance, exceeding the red vertex in sRGB and even the cadmium red pigment. Its nature of being sensitive to polarization and illumination angle could be potentially used for information encryption, and this proposed paradigm could be generalized to other Schrödinger’s color pixels.

TL;DR: A review of POF liquid level sensing is presented in this article , where several POF materials are introduced, including polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and perfluorinated polymer (CYTOP).
Abstract: Polymer optical fiber (POF) level sensors have a lot of potential in liquid level sensing because of their inherent safety, chemical corrosion resistance, anti-electromagnetic interference, electrical isolation, compactness, high coupling efficiency, and flexibility. In this context, a review of POF liquid level sensing is presented. Several POF materials are introduced, including polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and perfluorinated polymer (CYTOP). In addition, the operation principles of intensity modulation and wavelength modulation are described in general. Thereafter, contemporary POF liquid level sensing applications are discussed. For intensity modulation, the bending or polishing type and coupling type sensors are introduced. There are also some extrinsic POF level sensors based on intensity modulation. For wavelength modulation, a POF fiber Bragg grating (POFBG) and a special structure grating based POF liquid level sensors are introduced.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors proposed a method for increasing the birefringence of borophosphates and pushing phase-matching into the short-wavelength region.
Abstract: Borophosphates are very known for the short ultraviolet (UV) cutoff edge and have become the promising UV and deep-UV functional crystals candidates; however, tetrahedral [PO4] and [BO4] groups own weak anisotropy of polarizability and are not conducive to large birefringence, which hinders their application in the short-wavelength region. Improving their birefringence without compromising the band gap is the main research objective. By introducing the excellent birefringent functional groups, such as [B2O5], [BO2]∞ chain, [B2Ox(OH)5-x], and so forth into borophosphates, seven borophosphates with improved birefringence were successfully synthesized (Δn > 0.05@532 nm). Remarkably, among them, the centimeter-sized crystal of Rb3B8PO16 with a short deep-UV cutoff edge (175 nm) and large birefringence (Δn(exp.) ∼ 0.072@589.3 nm) exhibits the shortest phase-matching wavelength (222 nm), which makes Rb3B8PO16 a promising UV NLO crystal, while KB6PO10(OH)4 with deep-UV cutoff edge features the largest birefringence (Δn(exp.) ∼ 0.103@546 nm) in the reported borophosphate system, making KB6PO10(OH)4 a promising deep-UV birefringent crystal. This study not only provides feasible strategies for increasing the birefringence of borophosphates but also pushes phase-matching into the short-wavelength region.

TL;DR:
Abstract: Despite the emerging interest in research and development of Ti3CN MXene nanosheet (NS)-based optoelectronic devices, there is still a lack of in-depth studies of the underlying photophysical processes, like carrier relaxation dynamics and nonlinear photon absorption, operating in such devices, hindering their further and precise design. In this paper, we attempt to remedy the situation by fabricating few-layer Ti3CN NSs via combining selective etching and molecular intercalation and by investigating the carrier relaxation possesses and broadband nonlinear optical responses via transient absorption and Z-scan techniques. These results are complemented by first-principle theoretical analyses of the optical properties. Both saturable absorption and reverse saturable absorption phenomena are observed due to multiphoton absorption effects. The analysis of these results adds to the understanding of the basic photophysical processes, which is anticipated to be beneficial for the further design of MXene-based devices.

TL;DR: In this article , it was shown that NbOI2 nanosheets with a thickness of 20 nm exhibit a record SHG absolute conversion efficiency of > 0.2% and an effective bulk-like nonlinear susceptibility of 1.1 × 10−9 m V−1 at the fundamental wavelength of 1,050 nm.
Abstract: Implementing nonlinear optical components in nanoscale photonic devices is challenged by phase-matching conditions requiring thicknesses in the order of hundreds of wavelengths, and is disadvantaged by the short optical interaction depth of nanometre-scale materials and weak photon–photon interactions. Here we report that ferroelectric NbOI2 nanosheets exhibit giant second-harmonic generation with conversion efficiencies that are orders of magnitude higher than commonly reported nonlinear crystals. The nonlinear response scales with layer thickness and is strain- and electrical-tunable; a record >0.2% absolute SHG conversion efficiency and an effective nonlinear susceptibility $$\chi _{\mathrm{eff}}^{(2)}$$ in the order of 10−9 m V−1 are demonstrated at an average pump intensity of 8 kW cm–2. Due to the interplay between anisotropic polarization and excitonic resonance in NbOI2, the spatial profile of the polarized SHG response can be tuned by the excitation wavelength. Our results represent a new paradigm for ultrathin, efficient nonlinear optical components. Strained NbOI2 flakes with a thickness of 20 nm exhibit a record SHG absolute conversion efficiency of >0.2% and an effective bulk-like nonlinear susceptibility of 1.1 × 10−9 m V−1 at the fundamental wavelength of 1,050 nm. The spatial profile of the polarized second-harmonic generation response can be tuned by the fundamental wavelength.

TL;DR: Li2ZnSiO4:Mn2+ as mentioned in this paper is a dual-wavelength (530/650 nm)-emitting material that can provide thermal-sensitive emissions at dual- wavelengths for stable ratiometric temperature sensing with good precision and repeatability.
Abstract: Photothermal sensing is crucial for the creation of smart wearable devices. However, the discovery of luminescent materials with suitable dual-wavelength emissions is a great challenge for the construction of stable wearable optical fibre temperature sensors. Benefiting from the Mn2+-Mn2+ superexchange interactions, a dual-wavelength (530/650 nm)-emitting material Li2ZnSiO4:Mn2+ is presented via simple increasing the Mn2+ concentration, wherein the two emission bands have different temperature-dependent emission behaviours, but exhibit quite similar excitation spectra. Density functional theory calculations, coupled with extended X-ray absorption fine structure and electron-diffraction analyses reveal the origins of the two emission bands in this material. A wearable optical temperature sensor is fabricated by incorporating Li2ZnSiO4:Mn2+ in stretchable elastomer-based optical fibres, which can provide thermal-sensitive emissions at dual- wavelengths for stable ratiometric temperature sensing with good precision and repeatability. More importantly, a wearable mask integrated with this stretchable fibre sensor is demonstrated for the detection of physiological thermal changes, showing great potential for use as a wearable health monitor. This study also provides a framework for creating transition-metal-activated luminescence materials.

TL;DR: In this paper , a novel strategy combining the metasurface and Fresnel zone plate is proposed to realize the conversion from nearly arbitrary polarizations to a fixed polarization, where one polarized wave is incident on adjacent ring zones constructed by different types of meta-atoms, the transmitted waves generated by odd-numbered and even-numbered ring zones converge at the same focus and su-perimpose to generate a fixed polarized wave.
Abstract: Metasurfaces that can realize the polarization manipulation of electromagnetic waves on the sub-wavelength scale have become an emerging research field. Here, a novel strategy of combining the metasurface and Fresnel zone plate to form a metasurface zone plate is proposed to realize the conversion from nearly arbitrary polarizations to a fixed polarization. Specifically, when one polarized wave is incident on adjacent ring zones constructed by different types of meta-atoms, the transmitted waves generated by odd-numbered and even-numbered ring zones converge at the same focus and su-perimpose to generate a fixed polarized wave. As function demonstrations, we have designed two types of metasurface zone plates: one is a focused linear polarizer, and the other can convert nearly arbitrary polarized waves into focused circularly polarized waves. The simulated and measured results are consistent with theoretical expectations, suggesting that the proposed concept is flexible and feasible. Our work provides an alternative platform for polarization manipulation and may vigorously promote the development of polarization photonic devices.

TL;DR: In this paper , a fluorinated tetrahedral boron-centred chromophore strategy was proposed to optimize the chromatic dispersion for phase-matching (PM).
Abstract: Exploring significant ultraviolet/deep-ultraviolet nonlinear optical (NLO) materials is hindered by rigorous and contradictory requirements, especially, possessing a moderate optical birefringence to meet phase-matching (PM). Except for suitable birefringence, small chromatic dispersion is also crucial to blue-shift the PM wavelength. Here, the introduction of a fluorinated tetrahedral boron-centred chromophore strategy was proposed to optimize the chromatic dispersion. Herein, the [BF4 ]- unit with a large HOMO-LUMO band gap was introduced to the Na-B-O-F system and Na4 B8 O9 F10 was designed and synthesized successfully for the first time. Na4 B8 O9 F10 with an optimized chromatic dispersion can achieve a short second harmonic generation PM wavelength of 240 nm with a relatively small birefringence (0.036@1064 nm). Notably, Na4 B8 O9 F10 is the first acentric crystal with [BF4 ]- units among the reported metal-fluorooxoborate systems, involving isolated [BF4 ]- and novel [B7 O10 F6 ]5- fundamental building blocks.

TL;DR: In this article , a series of calibration steps, including background subtraction, calibration of the CCD geometry and an iterative procedure for the calibration of CCD efficiency as well as variations of the line-spread function and dispersion across the focal plane and in time, are described.
Abstract: (Abridged) Blue (BP) and Red (RP) Photometer low-resolution spectral data is one of the exciting new products in Gaia Data Release 3 (Gaia DR3). We calibrate about 65 billion individual transit spectra onto the same mean BP/RP instrument through a series of calibration steps, including background subtraction, calibration of the CCD geometry and an iterative procedure for the calibration of CCD efficiency as well as variations of the line-spread function and dispersion across the focal plane and in time. The calibrated transit spectra are then combined for each source in terms of an expansion into continuous basis functions. Time-averaged mean spectra covering the optical to near-infrared wavelength range [330, 1050] nm are published for approximately 220 million objects. Most of these are brighter than G = 17.65 but some BP/RP spectra are published for sources down to G = 21.43. Their signal- to-noise ratio varies significantly over the wavelength range covered and with magnitude and colour of the observed objects, with sources around G = 15 having S/N above 100 in some wavelength ranges. The top-quality BP/RP spectra are achieved for sources with magnitudes 9

TL;DR: In this article , a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor based on SiO2-Ag periodic grating using graphene and a MoS2 hybrid structure was proposed.
Abstract: This study optimizes a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor based on SiO2-Ag periodic grating using graphene and a MoS2 hybrid structure to enhance sensitivity. The sensing performance was analyzed by wavelength modulation. By optimizing the structural parameters, we can obtain the quality factor and sensitivity of 90.192RIU-1 and 960nm⋅RIU-1. The periodic grating surface covered with MoS2 prevents the oxidation of the silver layer and increases the adsorption of biomolecules. Compared with the conventional silver grating SPR sensor, the sensor's sensitivity and quality factor can be significantly enhanced. Experiments were carried out using sucrose solutions with different refractive indices, and the results indicate there was a good linear relationship between the resonance wavelength and the sucrose solution. The sensor has vast potential for practical applications.

TL;DR: In this paper , a one-dimensional air-sea coupled tsunami simulation with bathymetry data was presented, showing that an input atmospheric pressure pulse with a short half-wavelength of 50 km, which is shorter than the length of the ocean bottom slopes, caused an amplitude increase via the Proudman resonance effect near the deep trench.
Abstract: Abstract A large eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Haʻapai volcano in Tonga on January 15, 2022 generated air–sea coupled tsunamis observed at the ocean-bottom pressure sensor network along the Japan Trench (S-net) in Japan. Initial tsunamis from the 2022 Tonga eruption, detected by 106 ocean-bottom pressure sensors, were well modeled by an air–sea coupled tsunami simulation, with a simple atmospheric pressure pulse as sine function, having a half-wavelength of 300 km and a peak amplitude of 2 hPa. A one-dimensional air–sea coupled tsunami simulation having a simple bathymetry shows that an input atmospheric pressure pulse with a short half-wavelength of 50 km, which is shorter than the length of the ocean bottom slopes, caused an amplitude increase via the Proudman resonance effect near the deep trench. The wavefront distortion due to the separation of the air–sea coupled wave propagating with a speed of 312 m/s and tsunami propagating with that of $$\sqrt{gd}$$ gd , where g is gravity acceleration and d is the ocean depth, is also significant near the shore. In contrast, these effects are not significant for the half-wavelength of the input atmospheric pressure pulse of 300 km. These results indicate that the air–sea coupled tsunami propagating through the trench is sensitive to the wavelength of an atmospheric pressure pulse. Graphical Abstract

TL;DR: Two chiral HOMHs based on Cu(I) halides are synthesized, namely ( R - /S- MBA)CuBr 2 , which feature well-balanced NLO performances with a highly efficient SHG response outstanding optical transparency, and high LDT.
Abstract: Chiral hybrid organic-inorganic metal halides (HOMHs) with intrinsic noncentrosymmetry have shown great promise for applications in second-order nonlinear optics (NLO). However, established chiral HOMHs often suffer from their relatively small bandgaps, which lead to negative impacts on transparent window and laser-induced damage thresholds (LDT). Here, we have synthesized two chiral HOMHs based on Cu(I) halides, namely ( R - /S- MBA)CuBr 2 , which feature well-balanced NLO performances with a highly efficient SHG response outstanding optical transparency, and high LDT. The effective second-order NLO coefficient of ( R -MBA)CuBr 2 has been determined to be ~24.7 pm V -1 , which is two orders of magnitude higher than their Cu(II) counterparts. This work shows the promising potential of Cu(I) based chiral HOMHs for nonlinear photonic applications in wide wavelength regions.

TL;DR: In this paper , the implementation principles and related research progress of sub-wavelength focusing and super-resolution imaging based on artificial acoustic devices, including but not limited to phononic crystals (PCs) and acoustic metamaterials (AMMs), were systematically discussed.
Abstract: The effective operation of certain electronic, medical, industrial, and testing equipment relies on high-quality focusing and imaging capability, which also plays a vital role in the field of wave physics. Therefore, continuously improving the resolution capacity is essential. However, in a homogeneous medium dominated by the diffraction limit, the best resolution for wave focusing and imaging could only reach half the wavelength corresponding to the lowest operating frequency, significantly hindering the relevant application value. The development of phononic crystals (PCs) and acoustic metamaterials (AMMs) has realized sub-wavelength focusing and super-resolution imaging and attracted increasing research attention in physics, mechanics, engineering, and biomedical science. This Tutorial explained the basic principles and traditional methods of acoustic focusing and imaging. Then, the implementation principles and related research progress of sub-wavelength focusing and super-resolution imaging based on artificial acoustic devices, including but not limited to PCs and AMMs, were systematically discussed. Moreover, a method was introduced to realize sub-wavelength or sub-diffraction focusing by integrating these artificial devices into the time-reversal procedure. Finally, the potential development trends and practical application prospects were presented.

TL;DR: In this article , an artificial mechano-chromic photonic skin mimicking those of chameleons was fabricated by the large surface-to-surface distances (Ds-s) between neighboring particles and contrast of the refractive index (Δn), leading to their brilliant colors.
Abstract: The skins of chameleons have attracted growing interest because they have sensitive mechano-chromic properties and bright colors due to the large surface-to-surface distances (Ds-s) between neighboring particles and contrast of the refractive index (Δn), respectively. Inspired by these, artificial mechano-chromic photonic skins (MPSs) mimicking those of chameleons were fabricated by the large Δn and Ds-s. The fabrication is considerably simple and efficient based on the self-assembly strategy using commercial chemicals and materials. The reflectance of MPSs depends on the value of Δn, which can be greatly increased to 70% with a Δn of 0.035, leading to their brilliant colors. Because of the large Ds-s, the MPSs possess outstanding mechano-chromic performances, including a large maximal (Δλ = 205 nm) and effective (Δλe = 184 nm) tuning range of the reflection wavelength, high sensitivity (368), fast responsiveness (2.2 nm/ms), good stabilities (>1 year), and reversibility (>100 times). Based on these advantages, MPSs have been used for self-reporting the strain of earthworms by outputting diverse colors during the peristaltic process, indicating the great potential of the MPSs as visual sensors and optical coatings.

TL;DR: In this paper , an ultra-narrowband Molybdenum disulfide (M-MoS 2 ) absorber was obtained through theoretical analysis and numerical calculation using the finite difference time domain method.
Abstract: In order to significantly improve the absorption efficiency of monolayer molybdenum disulfide (M-MoS 2 ), an ultra-narrowband M-MoS 2 metamaterial absorber was obtained through theoretical analysis and numerical calculation using the finite difference time domain method. The physical mechanism can be better analyzed through critical coupling and guided mode resonance. Its absorption rate at λ = 806.41 nm is as high as 99.8%, which is more than 12 times that of bare M-MoS 2 . From the simulation results, adjusting the geometric parameters of the structure can control the resonant wavelength range of the M-MoS 2 . In addition, we also found that the maximum quality factor is 1256.8. The numerical result shows that the design provides new possibilities for ultra-narrowband M-MoS 2 perfect absorbers in the near-infrared spectrum. The results of this work indicate that the designed structure has excellent prospects for application in wavelength-selective photoluminescence and photodetection.

TL;DR: In this paper , five sizes (100 × 100, 75 × 75, 50 × 50, 25 × 25, 10 × 10 µm2) of InGaN red micro-light emitting diode (LED) dies are produced using laser-based direct writing and maskless technology.
Abstract: In this research, five sizes (100 × 100, 75 × 75, 50 × 50, 25 × 25, 10 × 10 µm2) of InGaN red micro-light emitting diode (LED) dies are produced using laser-based direct writing and maskless technology. It is observed that with increasing injection current, the smaller the size of the micro-LED, the more obvious the blue shift of the emission wavelength. When the injection current is increased from 0.1 to 1 mA, the emission wavelength of the 10 × 10 μm2 micro-LED is shifted from 617.15 to 576.87 nm. The obvious blue shift is attributed to the stress release and high current density injection. Moreover, the output power density is very similar for smaller chip micro-LEDs at the same injection current density. This behavior is different from AlGaInP micro-LEDs. The sidewall defect is more easily repaired by passivation, which is similar to the behavior of blue micro-LEDs. The results indicate that the red InGaN epilayer structure provides an opportunity to realize the full color LEDs fabricated by GaN-based LEDs.

TL;DR: In this paper , a general overview of the properties of metal-dielectric nanostructures, some of their most relevant applications including directional scattering, sensing, surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy, absorption enhancement, fluorescence and quantum dot emission enhancement, nonlinear effects, as well as lasing, are summarized.
Abstract: Enhancing the light‐matter interactions is important for many different applications like sensing, surface enhanced spectroscopies, solar energy harvesting, and for quantum effects such as nonlinear frequency generation or spontaneous and stimulated emission. Hybrid metal‐dielectric nanostructures have shown extraordinary performance in this respect, demonstrating their superiority with respect to bare metallic or high refractive index dielectric nanostructures. Such hybrid nanostructures can combine the best of two worlds: strong confinement of the electromagnetic energy by metallic structures and high scattering directivity and low losses of the dielectric ones. In this review, following a general overview of the properties of metal‐dielectric nanostructures, some of their most relevant applications including directional scattering, sensing, surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy, absorption enhancement, fluorescence and quantum dot emission enhancement, nonlinear effects, as well as lasing, are summarized.

TL;DR: In this article , a pair of enantiomorphic diarylethene derivative ferroelectric crystals was presented, showing a light-driven phase transition triggered by photoisomerization between the open and closed forms.
Abstract: The optical manipulation of polarization has gained widespread attention because it offers a promising route to new contactless memories and switches. However, the current research basically focuses on the photocontrol of data storage rather than data reading, which cannot realize the whole process of contactless write-read-erase data storage. Here, we present a pair of enantiomorphic diarylethene derivative ferroelectric crystals, showing a light-driven phase transition triggered by photoisomerization between the open and closed forms. Under the visible light, they exhibit a binary-domain state in the open form with white color and the band gap of 3.26 eV, while they show a single-domain state in the closed form with blue color and the band gap of 1.68 eV after UV irradiation of 254/365 nm. In addition to writing and erasing ferroelectric domains with light, we can also use light to read their color to determine the polarization state of domains. Moreover, diarylethene derivatives have better thermal stability, higher photoexcited conversion efficiency, and larger changes of the absorption wavelength between two isomers than those in salicylideneaniline derivatives. This work not only discovers the first diarylethene-based ferroelectric crystals but also successfully realizes completely contactless manipulation of write-read-erase data storage in the organic ferroelectric semiconductors.

TL;DR: In this paper , a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) based Mercedes Benz Logo Photonic crystal fiber (PCF) was used to construct and investigate the finite element approach (FEM) for sensing different analytes.
Abstract: A novel surface plasmon resonance (SPR) based Mercedes Benz Logo Photonic crystal fiber (PCF) has been used to construct and investigate the finite element approach (FEM) for sensing different analytes. A gold (Au) layer has been added to generate the SPR effect. Besides reducing the adhesive problem of the gold layer, an additional layer of TiO2 is also deposited. The investigation is performed based on the optical parameters such as confinement loss, amplitude sensitivity, resolution, and the parameters that will affect the sensitivity response. Here, fewer air holes with maximum sensitivity response are obtained 700 nm/RIU for the analyte 1.41. The maximum amplitude sensitivity response is also obtained as 2561 RIU−1 for the analyte 1.41. Besides, the maximum FWHM value is 46.9, with a resolution value of 1.428 × 10−5 RIU. These highest values are gained by analyzing the effects of different parameters using the analyte refractive index (RI) from 1.33 to 1.41. The investigated result shows that the sensor is highly sensitive for detecting analytes. According to its high-resolution value, FOM value, high wavelength, and amplitude sensitivity with low confinement loss, it can be said that this modified sensor will be implemented in the field of biosensing.
