In this paper, the Pby (Zr1-xTix) O3 piezoelectric compounds prepared by the hydrothermal- autoclave and the effect of calcination in thermal furnace and microwave furnace on optical and dielectric properties has been studied. The research was targeted for study on effect of varying the concentration of lead (Pb), zirconium (Zr), and titanium (Ti) on the structural, optical, and dielectric properties under different thermal condition. The concentration of compound was changed for Pb by y = 0.5, y = 1, and for Zr and Ti by x = 0.50, x = 0.55 and x = 0.6.
The Pby(Zr1−xTix)O3 (PZT) nanopowders were synthesized using a hydrothermal–autoclave method to investigate how Pb stoichiometry, Zr/Ti ratio, and post-annealing treatments influence structural evolution and optical behavior. Compositions with Pb-deficient (y = 0.5) and Pb-stoichiometric (y = 1) ratios and Zr/Ti contents of x  = 0.5–0.6 were prepared and subsequently treated by conventional furnace annealing (500–900°C) and microwave irradiation (900–1200 W). Phase formation, microstructure, and compositional trends were examined using XRD, FESEM, and EDX analyses, while optical and dielectric properties were evaluated by UV–Vis spectroscopy. The results show that both composition and thermal pathway strongly affect phase development, crystallite size, and microstructural features. Distinct optical responses were observed depending on the post-annealing route, with noticeable variations in absorption behavior, optical bandgap, and related optical constants. The extracted optical bandgap values span a wide range (≈1.8–4.6 eV), indicating a high degree of tunability. Urbach energy analysis reveals moderate band-tail broadening, suggesting that localized states associated with structural disorder contribute to the optical response. Pronounced differences in morphology and porosity were also observed, reflecting different densification and grain-growth mechanisms. In addition, the obtained results are directly compared with the authors’ previous study conducted on PZT materials with the same stoichiometric compositions synthesized via a sol–gel route, enabling a clear assessment of the role of the synthesis pathway on phase stability, microstructure, and optical behavior. These findings demonstrate that hydrothermal synthesis combined with tailored post-annealing provides an effective approach for adjusting the optical and microstructural characteristics of PZT nanopowders.
本文研究了水热压釜法制备的Pby (Zr1-xTix) O3压电化合物,以及热炉和微波炉煅烧对其光学和介电性能的影响。本研究旨在研究不同热条件下铅(Pb)、锆(Zr)和钛(Ti)浓度对材料结构、光学和介电性能的影响。Pb的浓度变化为y = 0.5, y = 1, Zr和Ti的浓度变化为x = 0.50, x = 0.55和x = 0.6。采用水热高压灭菌法合成了Pby(Zr1−xTix)O3 (PZT)纳米粉体,研究了Pb化学计量学、Zr/Ti比和后退火处理对结构演化和光学行为的影响。制备了缺铅比(y = 0.5)和铅化学计量比(y = 1)、Zr/Ti含量(x = 0.5 ~ 0.6)的组合物,并进行了常规炉退火(500 ~ 900℃)和微波辐照(900 ~ 1200 W)处理。通过XRD, FESEM和EDX分析检测了相形成,微观结构和成分趋势,并通过UV-Vis光谱评估了光学和介电性能。结果表明,组分和热路径对相发育、晶粒尺寸和显微组织特征都有重要影响。根据不同的退火路径,观察到不同的光学响应,吸收行为、光学带隙和相关光学常数都有明显的变化。提取的光带隙值范围宽(≈1.8 ~ 4.6 eV),表明具有高度的可调性。Urbach能量分析显示适度的带尾展宽,表明与结构无序相关的局域态有助于光学响应。在形态和孔隙度上也观察到明显的差异,反映了不同的致密化和晶粒生长机制。此外,所获得的结果直接与作者之前通过溶胶-凝胶途径合成具有相同化学计量成分的PZT材料的研究进行了比较,从而可以清楚地评估合成途径对相稳定性,微观结构和光学行为的作用。这些发现表明,水热合成结合定制后退火为调整PZT纳米粉体的光学和微观结构特性提供了一种有效的方法。

Silicon (Si) grating couplers are widely used in photonic applications; however, they suffer from limitations such as high propagation losses and limited bandwidth. In contrast, silicon nitride (Si3N4) has attracted increasing interest due to its low optical losses, broader bandwidth, and compatibility with CMOS fabrication processes. These advantages make Si3N4 an attractive platform for developing compact, high-performance photonic integrated circuits, particularly for applications in telecommunications, sensing, and other advanced technologies. In this manuscript, we propose a novel grating coupler device architecture entirely based on Si3N4 materials. The design features a uniform grating, which simplifies fabrication by eliminating the need for apodization, and incorporates a bottom reflector to enhance coupling efficiency by reducing downward optical losses. A two-dimensional model of the coupler was developed, and detailed finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations were conducted. Through parametric sweeps, optimal values were determined for key parameters including grating period, etch depth, cladding thickness, incident angle, Si3N4 thickness, buried oxide layer thickness, source position, and fill factor. The optimized design achieved a coupling efficiency of 76.41 % (−1.1685 dB) at a wavelength of 1550 nm, with a 1 dB bandwidth of 60.31 nm and a 3 dB bandwidth of 95.83 nm. A comparative analysis between efficiencies provided by metal and perfect reflectors was also performed to assess real-world loss factors. The proposed structure exhibits a high tolerance to fabrication, maintaining consistent performance despite variations in its structural parameters. The proposed uniform grating design offers performances comparable to more complex alternatives while being easier to fabricate, making it a practical and efficient solution for Si3N4-based grating couplers in modern photonic applications.
硅(Si)光栅耦合器广泛应用于光子领域;然而,它们受到诸如高传播损耗和有限带宽等限制。相比之下,氮化硅(Si3N4)由于其低光学损耗,更宽的带宽以及与CMOS制造工艺的兼容性而吸引了越来越多的兴趣。这些优势使Si3N4成为开发紧凑,高性能光子集成电路的有吸引力的平台,特别是在电信,传感和其他先进技术中的应用。在本文中,我们提出了一种完全基于Si3N4材料的新型光栅耦合器器件结构。该设计的特点是均匀光栅,通过消除apodiization简化了制造,并结合了底部反射器,通过减少向下的光学损耗来提高耦合效率。建立了耦合器的二维模型,并进行了详细的时域有限差分(FDTD)仿真。通过参数扫描,确定光栅周期、蚀刻深度、包层厚度、入射角、氮化硅厚度、埋地氧化层厚度、源位置和填充因子等关键参数的最优值。优化后的设计在1550 nm波长处实现了76.41% (- 1.1685 dB)的耦合效率,1 dB带宽为60.31 nm, 3 dB带宽为95.83 nm。此外,还对金属反射器和完美反射器提供的效率进行了比较分析,以评估实际损耗因素。所提出的结构具有很高的制造耐受性,尽管其结构参数发生变化,但仍能保持一致的性能。所提出的均匀光栅设计提供了与更复杂的替代方案相当的性能,同时更容易制造,使其成为现代光子应用中基于si3n4的光栅耦合器的实用高效的解决方案。

High-bandwidth and low-loss thin-film lithium niobate trident edge coupler 高带宽低损耗薄膜铌酸锂三叉戟边耦合器

This work reports a pioneering design of high-bandwidth, ultra-low-loss, and process-robust edge coupler optimized for 9-μm single-mode fibers. The architecture employs a bilayer waveguide structure comprising a silicon nitride top layer and a lithium niobate bottom layer. Through systematic geometric parameter optimization, the vertical mode matching efficiency is substantially enhanced, while a trident-shaped lithium niobate waveguide configuration is innovatively incorporated to fine-tune the lateral mode field distribution. Leveraging a two-stage inverse-tapered waveguide design, optical mode energy is efficiently transferred from the silica cladding to the lithium niobate ridge waveguide. Simulation results demonstrate that at 1550 nm, the coupler achieves an edge mode overlap loss of 0.05 dB and a TE-mode coupling loss of 0.16 dB per facet. Compared with current state-of-the-art processes, the achieved coupling efficiency exhibits exceptional performance benchmarks. Notably, it maintains exceptional transmission stability across a broad 300-nm(1400 nm-1700 nm) spectral bandwidth (Coupling loss < 0.3 dB/facet). In alignment tolerance characterization, vertical/lateral offsets of ± 2 μm result in insertion losses of 0.67 dB and 0.79 dB, respectively, underscoring its superior process robustness and engineering viability. Compared to current state-of-the-art designs, this work represents a notable advancement in reconciling process robustness with low-loss performance. This design provides a viable option for broadband optical communication devices.

Introduction

Polymer optical fiber (POF) coupler has become the dominant technology in small world communication network. In this paper, a weakly fused (WF) and a highly fused (HF) star coupler based on fusing and combining a group of POFs are successfully designed and experimentally investigated.

Methodology

The sleeve removed group of POFs are fused together using a Bunsen burner with a yellow flame. Range of temperature were applied directly to the fused tapered region and an LED fiber source with a 650 nm wavelength is launched into the fiber input, while the optical power deviation is measured at each output port. The new fusion technique 3 × 3 couplers were developed. The coupling ratio (CR) and return optical power (ROP) and its effect to the temperature variation of 20 0C to 125 0C were also investigated. The result shows the excess loss, EL0 for the WF and the HF coupler at 20 °C is ∼ 2 dB and ∼ 8 dB, respectively.

Objective

This paper aims to examine the feasibility of both methods of 3 × 3 POF couplers as thermal optical switches and also to determine whether the thermal treatment is needed to improve the performance and able to shift the device specification (if possible).

Results

Finally, the results reveal the thermal treatment (approximately 10 °C above room temperature) could improve the device performance by reducing the reflected power and contribute to minor shifting to the coupling ratio. Thus, the specification of the device can be adjusted according to the requirement.
聚合物光纤(POF)耦合器已成为小世界通信网络的主导技术。本文成功地设计了一种弱熔星形耦合器(WF)和高熔星形耦合器(HF),并对其进行了实验研究。方法:用带有黄色火焰的本生灯将移除的一组POFs熔合在一起。在熔融锥形区域直接施加温度范围,在光纤输入端发射波长为650 nm的LED光纤光源,同时在每个输出端口测量光功率偏差。研制了新型的3 × 3耦合器融合技术。研究了耦合比(CR)和回光功率(ROP)对200 ~ 125℃温度变化的影响。结果表明,WF和HF耦合器在20°C时的额外损耗EL0分别为~ 2 dB和~ 8 dB。本文旨在研究3 × 3 POF耦合器作为热光开关的两种方法的可行性,并确定是否需要热处理来提高性能并能够改变器件规格(如果可能的话)。最后,结果表明,热处理(室温以上约10°C)可以通过降低反射功率来提高器件性能,并有助于耦合比的微小变化。因此,设备的规格可以根据需要进行调整。

This paper presents a theoretical study of femtosecond-laser–induced ionization processes on diamond surfaces based on three analytical models: the multiphoton (MP) ionization model, the Ammosov–Delone–Krainov (ADK) tunneling model, and the Ivanov–Yudin (IY) model. The models were employed to analyze the dependence of plasma density on laser intensity, frequency ratio, and temporal evolution. The results reveal that the MP model is effective at low intensities and high frequencies, the ADK model is more accurate under strong-field conditions, and the IY model captures nonadiabatic and time-dependent effects, serving as an intermediate bridge between the two. Overall, a comprehensive understanding of laser–matter interactions requires a hybrid use of analytical models or their integration with advanced computational techniques, and the findings provide valuable insights for applications in micro- and nanoprocessing technologies, optical and quantum device fabrication, and biomedical sensing.
本文基于多光子(MP)电离模型、Ammosov-Delone-Krainov (ADK)隧穿模型和Ivanov-Yudin (IY)模型,对飞秒激光在金刚石表面诱导电离过程进行了理论研究。利用这些模型分析了等离子体密度与激光强度、频率比和时间演化的关系。结果表明,MP模型在低强度和高频率条件下是有效的,ADK模型在强场条件下更准确,而IY模型捕获了非绝热和时间相关的效应,是两者之间的中间桥梁。总的来说,对激光-物质相互作用的全面理解需要混合使用分析模型或将其与先进的计算技术相结合,这些发现为微纳米加工技术、光学和量子器件制造以及生物医学传感的应用提供了有价值的见解。

High-efficiency polarization switching in phase-change-material films at normal incidence 法向入射下相变材料薄膜的高效极化开关
IF 3 Q3 Physics and Astronomy Pub Date : 2026-02-01 Epub Date: 2026-01-16 DOI: 10.1016/j.rio.2026.100962

Phase-change materials (PCMs) enable the modification of the polarization of reflected light over nanometer-scale distances. For an isotropic and homogeneous film deposited on planar substrates, this is only possible at oblique angles of incidence, and the greatest modulation occurs near the pseudo-Brewster angle, but at low reflectance. This tradeoff between polarization modulation and output intensity is a limiting factor for applications. In this paper, we explain why stronger polarization switching also tends to occur at low reflectance. We also show that for properly designed structures, switching between maximally separated, i.e. orthogonal, polarization states can occur with low losses. Finally, we compare the polarization switching capabilities of two different PCM materials on corrugated substrates at normal incidence and show that this simple design can achieve orthogonal polarization switching at high reflectance. For example, in the case of GST on a gold-coated grating at a wavelength λ of 1457 nm, near orthogonal switching is possible with a reflectance of around 50 %.
相变材料(PCMs)能够在纳米尺度上改变反射光的偏振。对于沉积在平面基底上的各向同性和均匀的薄膜,这只能在斜入射角下发生,最大的调制发生在伪布鲁斯特角附近,但反射率很低。这种偏振调制和输出强度之间的权衡是应用的限制因素。在本文中,我们解释了为什么强偏振开关也往往发生在低反射率。我们还表明,对于适当设计的结构,在最大分离(即正交)极化状态之间的切换可以以低损耗发生。最后,我们比较了两种不同的PCM材料在波纹基板上的正入射偏振开关能力,并表明这种简单的设计可以在高反射率下实现正交偏振开关。例如,在波长为1457 nm的金涂层光栅上的GST的情况下,近正交开关是可能的,反射率约为50%。

Photonic computing enables high bandwidth, low latency and energy efficient processing. This work proposes a photonic edge computing architecture that leverages wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) to distribute cloud-managed neural network weights through existing optical line terminal (OLT) apparatus, facilitating lightweight deployment and real-time photonic inference. System-level simulations demonstrate that a single optical interference unit suffices to construct the inference module, improving scalability and reducing hardware cost. In the MNIST image classification task, the architecture achieves a recognition accuracy of 98.23%, with single-sample accuracy consistently above 96.6%, validating its efficiency and application potential in future photonic neural computation.

In this study, carbon quantum dots (CQDs) were synthesized using pyrolysis method and monochromatic LED light sources were used to control the chemical reaction during the synthetic time. Four monochromatic LEDs with different wavelengths (violet, blue, green and red) were used in these synthetic routes. CQDs were characterized using different methods such as visible-ultraviolet spectroscopy (UV–Vis), dynamic light scattering (DLS), photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and Transmission electron spectroscopy (TEM). According to different optical properties of the synthesized CQDs, third order nonlinear absorption coefficients of CQDs have been measured using the open aperture Z-scan technique. Experiments with close aperture Z-scan setup led only to dense patterns of diffraction rings. There was a perfect correlation between the data of all experiments where indicates the effect of monochromatic light radiation on the synthesis process is mainly on the loading of surface agents of the CQDs. With the increase in the wavelength of the irradiated light, it has been witnessed the decrease of surface agents as surface agents, the decrease of hydrodynamic diameter, increase of absorption in the visible region, increase of luminescence and its red shift, the granularity of the particles in the TEM images and increase of the nonlinear properties of the resulting nanocolloids. The present study can be a new window towards control and engineering in the synthesis of CQDs with the help of only a monochromatic light source.
本研究采用热解法合成碳量子点(CQDs),利用单色LED光源控制合成过程中的化学反应。在这些合成路线中使用了四种不同波长的单色led(紫色、蓝色、绿色和红色)。采用可见-紫外光谱(UV-Vis)、动态光散射(DLS)、光致发光光谱(PL)、傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)和透射电子能谱(TEM)等方法对CQDs进行了表征。根据合成CQDs的不同光学性质,利用开孔z扫描技术测量了CQDs的三阶非线性吸收系数。近孔径z扫描实验只得到密集的衍射环图案。结果表明,单色光辐射对CQDs合成过程的影响主要体现在表面活性剂的负载上。随着辐照光波长的增加,表面活性剂的作用减少,流体动力直径减小,可见光区吸收增加,发光及其红移增加,TEM图像中的颗粒粒度增大,所得到的纳米胶体的非线性性质增加。本研究为单色光源合成CQDs的控制和工程化提供了一个新的窗口。

Silver (Ag) mirror coatings on glass substrates are widely used in optics due to their high reflectance and low polarization of reflected light. However, poor adhesion between Ag and glass, together with limited oxidation resistance, significantly reduces coating durability and service life. This work focuses on optimizing the structure of silver mirrors through the selection of suitable adhesion-promoting and protective layers. Chromium (Cr), titanium (Ti), and nickel (Ni) were investigated as adhesion layers, given their compatibility with both BK7 glass substrates and silver films. Thin-film structures were designed and simulated using OptiLayer software and fabricated by high-vacuum thermal evaporation (base pressure <5 × 10−6 mbar, deposition rate ∼1,0 Å/s for Ag) in a Univex 400 system (Leybold, Germany). The optimized configuration, determined through simulation and subsequent experimental validation, was Ti (5 nm)/Ag (150 nm)/SiO2 (125 nm), which achieved reflectance above 95 % across the visible to near-infrared range (450–900 nm). Adhesion was evaluated according to ASTM D3359 and MIL-C-48479A standards, confirming strong film-substrate bonding. Experimental results were in good agreement with simulations, demonstrating the effectiveness of the multilayer design strategy for high-performance silver mirror coatings. To ensure measurement reliability, three identical samples were fabricated and characterized, and all reported reflectance values represent averaged results across this sample set.
玻璃基板上的银(Ag)反射膜由于具有高反射率和低偏振性,在光学领域得到了广泛的应用。然而,银和玻璃之间的附着力差,加上有限的抗氧化性,大大降低了涂层的耐用性和使用寿命。本工作的重点是通过选择合适的促粘层和保护层来优化银镜的结构。考虑到铬(Cr)、钛(Ti)和镍(Ni)与BK7玻璃基片和银膜的相容性,研究了它们作为粘附层的性能。使用OptiLayer软件设计和模拟薄膜结构,并在Univex 400系统(德国莱堡)中通过高真空热蒸发(基压<;5 × 10 - 6 mbar, Ag的沉积速率~ 1,0 Å/s)制备薄膜结构。通过仿真和后续的实验验证,确定了优化配置为Ti (5 nm)/Ag (150 nm)/SiO2 (125 nm),在可见光到近红外范围内(450-900 nm)的反射率达到95%以上。根据ASTM D3359和MIL-C-48479A标准对附着力进行评估,确认薄膜-基材粘合牢固。实验结果与仿真结果吻合较好,验证了多层设计策略在高性能银镜涂层中的有效性。为了确保测量的可靠性,我们制作了三个相同的样品并对其进行了表征,所有报告的反射率值都代表了该样品集的平均结果。

Carbon quantum dots derived from sugarcane bagasse as a functional layer in SPR sensors for interleukin detection 从甘蔗渣中提取的碳量子点作为功能层用于白细胞介素检测的SPR传感器

This study focuses on utilizing an environmentally friendly and sustainable carbon precursor: sugarcane bagasse, to synthesize Carbon Quantum Dots (CQDs) as an active SPR sensor layer. The CQDs were synthesized via a hydrothermal method. The CQDs were then uniformly deposited onto a gold (Au) substrate on the optical fiber using the Ultrasonic Spray Pyrolysis technique. Optical and morphological characterizations showed that the resulting CQDs, with a particle size of approximately 4 nm, produced a photoluminescence emission peak in the blue-green range, with a red shift that depended on the excitation wavelength and bagasse mass. UV–Vis spectra analyzed using the Tauc plot method showed an increase in the band gap from 3.28eV to 3.55eV with increasing bagasse mass. The gap increase indicates an increase in the refractive index due to changes in the electronic structure, thereby strengthening the interaction between the evanescent waves and the analyte. The performance testing of the SPR sensor with a CQDs layer was carried out with the human interleukin −17 isolate (IL-17) biomolecule, and showed an increase in sensor sensitivity up to 2,105.07±0.055nm/RIU, with a figure of merit (FOM) value of 13.507±0.120RIU-1 and a limit of detection (LOD) reaching 0.074±0.002RIU. The resonance shift and significant decrease in transmittance prove the role of CQDs in increasing sensor sensitivity. These results demonstrate the novelty of using biomass waste-based CQDs as the active layer of an SPR sensor, which not only improves performance but also supports sustainability.
本研究的重点是利用环境友好和可持续的碳前体:甘蔗甘蔗渣,合成碳量子点(CQDs)作为有源SPR传感器层。采用水热法合成了CQDs。然后利用超声喷雾热解技术将CQDs均匀沉积在光纤上的金(Au)衬底上。光学和形态学表征表明,所制备的CQDs粒径约为4 nm,在蓝绿色范围内产生光致发光峰,其红移取决于激发波长和甘蔗渣质量。紫外可见光谱分析表明,随着甘蔗渣质量的增加,带隙从3.28eV增加到3.55eV。间隙的增加表明由于电子结构的变化而导致折射率的增加,从而加强了倏逝波与分析物之间的相互作用。利用人白细胞介素-17分离物(IL-17)生物分子对CQDs层SPR传感器进行性能测试,传感器灵敏度提高至2,105.07±0.055nm/RIU,优值(FOM)为13.507±0.120RIU-1,检出限(LOD)为0.074±0.002RIU。谐振位移和透射率的显著降低证明了CQDs在提高传感器灵敏度方面的作用。这些结果证明了使用基于生物质废物的cqd作为SPR传感器的有源层的新颖性,它不仅提高了性能,而且支持可持续性。
