We investigate the generation of ultrabroadband femtosecond ultraviolet (UV) radiation via third-order harmonic generation in highly confined gas media. A dual-stage differential-pumping scheme integrated into a glass microfluidic chip provides an exceptional gas confinement up to several bar and allows the apparatus to be operated under high-vacuum environment. UV pulses are generated both in argon and neon with up to ∼0.8 μJ energy and 0.2% conversion efficiency for spectra that cover the UVB and UVC regions between 200 and 325 nm. Numerical simulations based on the unidirectional pulse propagation equation reveal that ionization plays a critical role for extending the spectral bandwidth of the generated third-harmonic pulse beyond the tripled 800 nm driving laser pulse bandwidth. By delivering UV supercontinua supporting Fourier transform limits below 2 fs, as well as comparable pulse energies with respect to capillary-based techniques that typically provide high spectral tunability but produce narrower bandwidths, our compact device makes a step forward towards the production and application of sub-fs UV pulses for the investigation of electron dynamics in neutral molecules.

Surface enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) is an experimental method where trace amount of a compound can be detected with high sensibility. This high detection sensibility is the result of the interaction of the molecules with a localized plasmon, usually from a metallic nanoparticle. In this study we numerically investigate by discrete dipole approximation the origin of the Fano-like response of the system, including the induced transparency when the plasmon resonance and the molecular vibrational mode coincide. The detailed analysis of the localization of the absorption shows that the modification of the absorption cross-section when the molecule is present comes from a change of the plasmonic resonance, not from the direct molecular response which is negligible. This sheds a new light on the SEIRA mechanism. In particular, it demonstrates that the sensibility is associated with the influence of the molecule on the plasmon resonance rather than with the local field enhancement itself.

This research aims to understand colouring technologies in 5th–7th centuries glass imported to Atlantic Britain by correlating the iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) ratios and oxidation states with colour. Despite having a similar matrix chemical composition and concentrations of Fe and Mn oxides, these vessels display different colours (from green to yellow/amber, sometimes with purple streaks). Colour changes can be induced by controlling the reduction-oxidation reactions that occur during glass production, which are influenced by the raw materials, furnace and melt atmosphere, and recycling. To evaluate these parameters, reference glasses were prepared, following the composition of Late Antique archaeological glass recovered from Tintagel (UK) and Whithorn (UK). A corpus of archaeological and experimental glass samples was analysed using bulk Fe and Mn K-edge x-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy, micro-XANES and micro x-ray fluorescence (μ-XRF) at beamline ID21, at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility. Fe and Mn XANES spectra of the archaeological glass indicate that Fe and Mn are in a similar oxidation state in all the yellow samples, predominantly Fe3+ and Mn2+. No detectable difference in Mn and Fe oxidation state occurs in the purple streaks compared to the yellow glass bulk but μ-XRF maps of the distribution of Fe and Mn show that Mn is more concentrated in the purple streaks. This indicates that the purple colour of the streaks is mainly due to a higher Mn/Fe ratio and persistence of more oxidised manganese in the purple areas, even though it is difficult to detect. Many archaeological fragments appear pale green in transmitted light but amber in reflected light. XANES studies detected the presence of surface layers where manganese is more oxidised. This layer is believed to scatter transmitted and reflected light differently and might be responsible for the optical features of the archaeological glass.
这项研究旨在通过将铁（Fe）和锰（Mn）的比率和氧化状态与颜色联系起来，了解 5-7 世纪进口到大西洋不列颠的玻璃的着色技术。尽管基质化学成分以及铁和锰氧化物的浓度相似，但这些器皿却呈现出不同的颜色（从绿色到黄色/琥珀色，有时还带有紫色条纹）。玻璃生产过程中发生的还原-氧化反应受原材料、熔炉和熔融气氛以及回收利用的影响，通过控制这些反应可以诱发颜色变化。为了评估这些参数，我们按照从廷塔吉尔（英国）和惠索恩（英国）出土的晚期古代考古玻璃的成分制备了参考玻璃。在欧洲同步辐射设施的 ID21 光束线，使用体铁和锰 K 边 X 射线吸收近缘结构 (XANES) 光谱、微 XANES 和微 X 射线荧光 (μ-XRF) 分析了大量考古和实验玻璃样品。考古玻璃的铁和锰 XANES 光谱表明，所有黄色样品中的铁和锰都处于相似的氧化态，主要是 Fe3+ 和 Mn2+。紫色条纹中的锰和铁的氧化态与黄色玻璃块体中的锰和铁的氧化态相比没有可检测到的差异，但是铁和锰的μ-XRF 分布图显示，锰在紫色条纹中更为集中。这表明，条纹的紫色主要是由于锰/铁比率较高，以及紫色区域持续存在较多氧化锰，尽管很难检测到。许多考古碎片在透射光下呈淡绿色，但在反射光下呈琥珀色。XANES 研究发现了锰氧化程度较高的表层。据信，这一层对透射光和反射光的散射不同，可能是造成考古玻璃光学特征的原因。

Laser lighting is emerging as a viable replacement for other light sources in applications requiring high luminance not achievable with LEDs. Phosphor materials for laser lighting are often optimized in terms of luminous efficiency and/or colorimetric properties, while the light homogeneity is often neglected. We present a thorough investigation of the homogeneity of the chromaticity and the luminance profile for the most common types of phosphors used in laser lighting. We find that the achievable luminance and homogeneity of the light spot depends significantly on the phosphor used to convert the blue laser light to white light. The findings of these investigations will present guidelines for optimal phosphor material parameters to achieve high luminance combined with homogeneous chromaticity.

This paper provides an overview of the SUPERIOT project, an EU SNS JU (Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking) initiative focused on developing truly sustainable IoT systems. The SUPERIOT concept is based on a unique holistic approach to sustainability, proactively developing sustainable solutions considering the design, implementation, usage and disposal/reuse stages. The concept exploits radio and optical technologies to provide dual-mode wireless connectivity and dual-mode energy harvesting as well as dual-mode IoT node positioning. The implementation of the IoT nodes or devices will maximize the use of sustainable printed electronics technologies, including printed components, conductive inks and substrates. The paper describes the SUPERIOT concept, covering the key technical approaches to be used, promising scenarios and applications, project goals and demonstrators which will be developed to the proof-of-concept stage. In addition, the paper briefly discusses some important visions on how this technology may be further developed in the future.

Graphene is considered a possible drug deliver in nanomedicine for its mechanical, physical and chemical characteristics. Thus, studying graphene biocompatibility is pivotal to contribute to the modern nano-therapy science. The coexistence between cells and graphene should be analysed using non-invasive technologies and thus quantitative phase imaging (QPI) modalities are suitable to investigate the morphometric evolution of cells under nanomaterial exposure. Here, we show how a multimodal QPI approach can furnish a noninvasive analysis for probing the dose-dependent effect of nanoGO clusters on adherent NIH 3T3 fibroblast cells. We rely on both digital holography and Fourier ptychography (FP) in transmission microscopy mode. The former allows accurate time-lapse experiments at the single cell level. The latter provides a wide field of view characterization at the cells network level, thus assuring a significant statistical measurement by exploiting the intrinsic large space-bandwidth product of FP. The combination of these two techniques allows one to extract multimodal information about the cell resilience to adverse effects of nanoGO in the surrounding buffer, namely through quantitative, multi-scale, and time-resolved characterization.

The dispersion scan (d-scan) technique is extended to measurement of the time-dependent polarization state of ultrashort laser pulses. In the simplest implementation for linearly polarized ultrashort pulses, the d-scan technique records the second harmonic generation spectrum as a function of a known spectral phase manipulation. By applying this method to two orthogonally polarized projections of an arbitrary polarized electric field and by measuring the spectrum at an intermediate angle, we can reconstruct the evolution over time of the polarization state. We demonstrate the method by measuring a polarization gate generated from 6fs pulses with a combination of waveplates. The measurements are compared to simulations, showing an excellent agreement.

Commercial off-the-shelf optics enable economic and rapid solutions in the photonics industry and academia. However, the design of optical systems with off-the-shelf optics is a time-consuming task for experienced optical designers and hopeless for novice designers. In this paper, we propose an automatic optical design tool to generate optical systems using only off-the-shelf optical components without human assistance. Our solution is based on an evolution strategy (ES) that performs a discrete combinatorial optimization following optical design-based methodologies that satisfy user-defined specifications. Unlike the conventional methods, the algorithm decreases the design process time and provides optical designers with several optical solutions from where to choose and adapt for targeted applications. In this work, the ES is described and tested with front stop optical configurations. We demonstrate the broad solution domain of the algorithm through the generation of optical systems with F-numbers within a range F/1 to F/90 and field of views up to 300 mm at the image plane. To analyze the solution domain and the characteristics of the solution, we used the design specifications of 29 commercially available scan lenses and compared the performance of different ES parameters. The compatibility of our algorithm with (standard) commercially available optical design software unlocks automatic design tools for off-the-shelf optical systems.
现成的商用光学器件为光子学行业和学术界提供了经济、快速的解决方案。然而，使用现成光学元件设计光学系统对于经验丰富的光学设计人员来说是一项耗时的任务，而对于设计新手来说则毫无希望。在本文中，我们提出了一种自动光学设计工具，只需使用现成的光学元件即可生成光学系统，无需人工辅助。我们的解决方案以进化策略（ES）为基础，按照基于光学设计的方法进行离散组合优化，以满足用户定义的规格要求。与传统方法不同的是，该算法缩短了设计过程的时间，并为光学设计人员提供了多种光学解决方案，供其选择并适应目标应用。在这项工作中，对 ES 进行了描述，并用前挡光学配置进行了测试。我们通过生成 F/1 至 F/90 范围内的 F 数和在像面上最大 300 mm 的视场的光学系统，展示了该算法广泛的解决方案域。为了分析求解域和求解特征，我们使用了 29 个市售扫描镜头的设计规格，并比较了不同 ES 参数的性能。我们的算法与（标准）市售光学设计软件兼容，为现成的光学系统提供了自动设计工具。

Abstract We study both numerically and experimentally the use of two third-order nonlinear temporal filtering techniques, namely nonlinear ellipse rotation and cross-polarized wave generation, for simultaneous nonlinear spectral broadening and temporal contrast enhancement of mJ energy, 30 fs titanium:sapphire laser pulses in a multi-pass cell. In both cases, a contrast enhancement greater than 3 orders of magnitude is observed, together with record high conversion efficiencies. Careful balancing of nonlinearity and dispersion inside the multi-pass cell helps tune the spectral broadening process and control the post-compressed pulse duration for specific applications.

Abstract The aerodynamic parameters of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) play an important role in the newly designed drone. For the purpose of the real-time measurement of the aerodynamic performance parameters of the UAV in flight status, based on the self-development connected-wing configuration airplane, a novel airborne aerodynamics test scheme is researched and verified in this work. The findings of this study indicate that the effectiveness of numerical calculations can be verified by comparison with both results of the numerical simulation and airborne flight test in the same conditions. The newly designed UAV equipped with this test system in the future, not only achieves quick and reliable results of aerodynamic performance and powered system efficiency but also can save the expense of wind tunnel experiments, which is of high potential to the UAV application.
