Integrating deformable mirrors within the optical train of an adaptive telescope was one of the major innovations in astronomical observation technology, distinguished by its high optical throughput, reduced optical surfaces, and the incorporation of the deformable mirror. Typically, voice-coil actuators are used, which require additional position sensors, internal control electronics, and cooling systems, leading to a very complex structure. Piezoelectric deformable secondary mirror technologies were proposed to overcome these problems. Recently, a high-order piezoelectric deformable secondary mirror has been developed and installed on the 1.8-m telescope at Lijiang Observatory in China to make it an adaptive telescope. The system consists of a 241-actuator piezoelectric deformable secondary mirror, a 192-sub-aperture Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor, and a multi-core-based real-time controller. The actuator spacing of the PDSM measures 19.3 mm, equivalent to approximately 12.6 cm when mapped onto the primary mirror, significantly less than the voice-coil-based adaptive telescopes such as LBT, Magellan and VLT. As a result, stellar images with Strehl ratios above 0.49 in the R band have been obtained. To our knowledge, these are the highest R band images captured by an adaptive telescope with deformable secondary mirrors. Here, we report the system description and on-sky performance of this adaptive telescope.

Metasurface-based polarimetry techniques have attracted lots of interests and been extensively studied in the past years, but are still hampered by narrow operating bandwidth and large crosstalk. Recently, Xian-Gang Luo's group proposed a new method of polarization-dependent phase optimization for the design of crosstalk-free, broadband achromatic, and full Stokes imaging polarimeter, which offers a promising platform for a wide range of applications including bio-photon-ics and integrated optics.

Flexible and wearable humidity sensors play a vital role in daily point-of-care diagnosis and noncontact human-machine interactions. However, achieving a facile and high-speed fabrication approach to realizing flexible humidity sensors remains a challenge. In this work, a wearable capacitive-type Ga 2 O 3 /liquid metal-based humidity sensor is demonstrated by a one-step laser direct writing technique. Owing to the photothermal effect of laser, the Ga 2 O 3 -wrapped liquid metal particles can be selectively sintered and converted from insulative to conductive traces with a resistivity of 0.19 Ω·cm, while the untreated regions serve as active sensing layers in response to moisture changes. Under 95% relative humidity, the humidity sensor displays a highly stable performance along with rapid response and recover time. Utilizing these superior properties, the Ga 2 O 3 /liquid metal-based humidity sensor is able to monitor human respiration rate, as well as skin moisture of the palm under different physiological states for healthcare monitoring.

Dielectric metasurfaces are crucial for enhancing optical nonlinear generation, particularly membrane metasurfaces with multipolar resonances and compact size. Investigating silicon dimer-hole membrane metasurfaces, Rahmani, and Xu show how bound states in the continuum (BICs) can be formed and transformed into quasi-BICs by adjusting hole gaps. This innovation enables efficient conversion of infrared images to visible range, promising applications in nonlinear photonics and near-infrared imaging technologies. Pu MB, Luo XG.
