This letter presents a monolithic integration work that integrates microLEDs ($mu $ LEDs) with a two-transistor-one-capacitor (2T1C) circuitry by selectively overgrowing the LED epi and fabricating 2T1C on a HEMT epi. The 2T1C circuitry consists of two depletion-mode GaN-based high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) and a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor, all of which are fabricated on the HEMT epi layer. The threshold voltages of the switching HEMT and the driving HEMT are −2.95 V and −3.07 V, respectively, with ON/OFF ratios of $7.17times 10^{4}$ and $6.37times 10^{4}$ . The MIM capacitor, with an area of 0.02 mm2, has a capacitance density of ~1.3 fF/$mu $ m2. The proposed 2T1C circuitry can effectively control the switching state and current levels of the $mu $ LED by applying pulsed input voltages to the switching transistor. The extracted rise and fall times at 100 Hz are $0.34~mu $ s and $2.2~mu $ s, respectively, enabling a fast-switching performance ranging from 120 Hz to 5 kHz. This work paves the way for full GaN-based active-matrix $mu $ LED displays in the near future.

In this letter, we present a physics-assisted design strategy for tapered suspended slot waveguides operating at $2~mu $ m. The proposed methodology enables a precise control of the optical field, specifically tailored for laser-driven dielectric accelerating structures. By using calibration curves that link the silicon waveguide strips width to both the effective refractive index and the accelerating field amplitude, we ensure local phase synchronism along the propagation axis. The design was performed for an input energy of 79 keV, and validated by HFSS simulations as far as the optical field computation is concerned, and by ASTRA-code for the single-particle beam dynamics. The results show an output energy of 102 keV with the optimized structure, corresponding to 20% increase compared to the previous constant-field approach.

An end-to-end spiking neural architecture is pre sented for real-time, energy-efficient mechanical event detection in optical fibers. The system emulates Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT) processing using biologically inspired spiking neurons to generate time–frequency spike maps from raw state-of-polarization (SOP) signals. A neuromorphic convolutional network then performs event classification and spectral–temporal localization. Evaluated on experimental SOP data over a 2600 km link, the architecture achieves 97% classification accuracy with over 50,$000times $ lower energy consumption than conventional CNNs, enabling scalable edge inference for sustainable optical sensing.

Tellurite glasses are of high interest in integrated photonics for sensing and, in particular, telecommunications applications, where they serve as key materials for amplification and mid-IR light sources due to their wide transparent window, thermal and mechanical stability, and high optical nonlinearity. In this work, we present two inverse-designed devices for polarization management on a tellurium dioxide platform: a TM-pass polarizer and a polarization beam splitter. The TM-pass polarizer achieves an average simulated transmission efficiency of −0.6 dB and an polarization crosstalk below −20.9 dB across the entire C-band, with a footprint of only ${mathrm {24~ {mu }text {m}}} times {mathrm {6~ {mu }text {m}}}$ . The polarization beam splitter has an ultra-compact footprint of ${mathrm {28~ {mu }text {m}}} times {mathrm {6~ {mu }text {m}}}$ and achieves average TE${}_{ }$ and TM${}_{ }$ transmission efficiencies of approximately −0.4 dB, with crosstalk below −18.3 dB and −27.2 dB, respectively. These are the first freeform devices demonstrated on a tellurium dioxide platform, exhibiting strong robustness to fabrication variations and showcasing the versatility of the platform beyond nonlinear applications.

We focus on experimental mode field diameter (MFD) evolution in tapered single-mode (SMF) and few-mode fibers (FMF) with simulations supporting the trends and including a simulation-only case for a three-core coupled-core fiber (CCF3). Experimental measurements on an FMF supporting ten linearly polarized modes, tapered down to $mathrm {1.84~mu text {m} }$ , show close agreement with simulations and confirm the onset of evanescent mode field expansion. Simulations extended to sub-micrometer diameters predict rapid MFD growth below $approx!{mathrm {2~mu text {m} }}$ for several modes. For CCF3, simulations show supermode evolution into LP-like modes under tapering, with increasing MFD at small waist diameters.

The thickness and refractive index directly affect the performance of the device in the field of precision manufacturing, and the simultaneous measurement of thickness and refractive index imposes higher demands. In this study, an insertion method which can simultaneously measure the thickness and refractive index of transparent samples is proposed and a measurement system based on fiber-optic interferometry is developed. Furthermore, if the refractive index of the sample is known, the thickness of the multilayer transparent sample can be measured respectively. The glass plate and a multilayer transparent sample are measured, and the measurement results show that the measurement system has a measurement range of millimeter level. The uncertainty analysis of the measurement shows that the uncertainty of thickness measurement with insert method is $0.041~mu $ m (k= 2), and the uncertainty of the refractive index measurement is $6times 10 ^{mathbf {-5}}$ (k= 2).

Doxycycline (DOX) is one of the most widely used veterinary antibiotics in animal husbandry, and its residues may affect the health of humans and animals due to the in-creased bacterial resistance. Here we developed a trace DOX detection means based on molecular imprinting technology with tilted fiber Bragg grating surface plasmon resonance (TFBG-SPR). Sputtering a 50 nm thick gold film on the surface of TFBG to excite surface plasmon resonance, and coating a layer of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) on the surface of the gold film to capture DOX. Experimental results show that the proposed sensor shows a detection sensitivity of 1.89 dB/($mu $ g/mL) for DOX in the concentration range of 0.1-$1~mu $ g/mL, with a detection time of about 5 minutes and a detection limit (LOD) of about $0.0323~mu $ g/mL ($0.0672~mu $ M). The obtained LOD is half of that of the current similar DOX sensor. The proposed sensor is expected to provide technical support for real-time trace monitoring of DOX concentration in the environment and food.

Single pixel imaging (SPI) is a novel imaging technique that acquires target information through a single-pixel detector lacking spatial resolution capability. However, the spatial resolution of SPI is restricted by the inherent physical limitations associated with speckle modulation, and the imaging quality is constrained by the requirement for extensive sampling. To overcome these challenges, this letter proposes a high-resolution single-pixel imaging scheme by using subpixel speckle shift technology with physics-driven deep neural networks. Simulation and experimental results show that both the imaging quality and resolution can be significantly improved by our scheme with a lower sampling rate. Moreover, the deep neural network used in our scheme does not require pre-training, which can significantly decrease computational resources. The scheme shows promising potential for applications scenarios demanding efficient high-resolution imaging, such as medical diagnostics and remote sensing.

This letter proposes and experimentally validates a reconfigurable distance measurement system leveraging stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) to achieve optical pulse compression. The scheme exploits the narrowband gain characteristics of SBS to efficiently compress broadband echo signals into narrow pulses within the optical domain. Target distance is demodulated in real time by directly measuring the time delay of the transmitted signal after pulse compression. This method breaks through the bandwidth limitations of traditional electronic ranging technology and reduces processing latency. Experimental results demonstrate that the system achieves flexible tuning and expansion of distance resolution (<4.12 m) and maximum unambiguous range (up to 750 m). The minimum relative error for long-distance measurements is as low as 0.132%, with a detection sensitivity better than −50 dBm.

Tunable lasers are essential and versatile tools in photonics, with applications including telecommunications, spectroscopy, and sensing. Advancements have aimed to precisely control the lasing wavelength, expand tuning ranges, suppress mode hopping, and enable photonic integration. In this work, we explore the adaptation of dynamic targeting, a technique originally developed to stabilize lasers under optical feedback, as a method for achieving agile, fast, and continuous wavelength tuning. This technique works by adjusting the feedback rate and phase, enabling a stable and controlled frequency shift. We experimentally demonstrate reliable and reproducible tuning over 2.1 GHz using a free-space optical setup. Simulations further suggest that this approach could extend the tuning range to tens of GHz, with a potential scan speed exceeding $10^{17}$ Hz/s. These results highlight dynamic targeting as a promising route toward agile frequency control in semiconductor lasers for photonic integrated circuits.
