The results of the proof-of-concept experiment on the olive oil contaminated on a wafer surface verify the spectral fidelity and the sensitivity enhancement as well as the capability of photothermal spectral imaging of the MZI-PST.Interest in asymmetric transmission (AT) at terahertz frequencies has increased dramatically in recent years. We present an all-silicon metamaterial to achieve the AT effect for linearly polarized electromagnetic waves in the terahertz regime. The metamaterial is constructed by rectangular silicon pillars and a thick silicon substrate. The magnetic Mie resonance excited by the incident polarized terahertz wave contributes to the AT effect, which is verified by the field distributions. In addition, the rotation angle and dimensions of the silicon pillars are shown to have a great influence on the AT efficiency. The proposed metamaterial with straightforward design has promising applications in polarization control scenarios.Integrating tunable characteristics and multiple functions into a single metasurface has become a new scientific and technological undertaking that needs to deal with huge challenges, especially in the terahertz frequency region. The multifunctional design combining the broadband absorption and broadband polarization conversion using a single switchable metasurface is proposed in this paper. The switchable performance can be realized by treating the insulation to metal phase transition properties of vanadium dioxide (VO2). At high temperature (74 °C), the proposed metasurface can be used as a broadband absorber which consists of a VO2 square ring, polyimide (PI) spacer, and VO2 film. Simulated results show that the terahertz wave absorption can reach above 90% with the bandwidth ratio of 75% in the frequency range of 0.74 THz-1.62 THz. This absorber is insensitive to polarization resulted from the symmetry structure and also shows a good performance at large incident angles. Once the temperature is lower than the cooling phase transition temperature (about 62 °C) and VO2 is in insulation state, the metasurface can be transformed into a broadband linear-to-circular polarization converter. Numerical simulation depicts that the ellipticity reaches to -1 and the axis ratio is lower than 3 dB from 1.47 THz to 2.27 THz. The designed switchable metasurface provides the potential to be used in the fields of advanced research and intelligent applications in the terahertz frequency region.For a nonisothermal blackbody cavity, different reference temperatures have influence on the calculation of effective emissivity. Previous studies proposed a weighted average method which can be indicated by a priori to calculate the reference temperature. However, these studies did not mention how to define the weight function but used some arbitrary temperature or the temperature of a fixed position like the central bottom of the cavity as the reference temperature. In this study, a quantitative analysis and calculation method, which is implemented in the Monte Carlo method based optical simulation software Tracepro, is proposed to define the weight coefficients and optimize the reference temperature. To do so, in the Tracepro software, a surface source is placed in front of the cavity opening and emits radiation to the blackbody cavity. The radiation from this surface source can be absorbed or reflected many times in the cavity, and finally the incident radiation distribution in the cavity can be obtained.er, the influences of different shapes of the blackbody cavities, different radiation characteristics of the inner surface materials and different viewing conditions of the effective emissivity on the reference temperature are discussed and compared. The results suggest that the optimization of reference temperature has close link with above factors and thus should be calculated individually.Microlens arrays (MLAs) nowadays are critical micro-optical components and they can be applied in many application fields, such as optical communication systems and flat panel display modules. #link# This article describes a novel approach to the fabrication of tunable, highly reliable, and uniform polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) MLAs. A polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membrane is bonded to a micro-milled poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) microfluidic chip and exposed to silicone oil of a specific viscosity. Molecules in the oil insert themselves into the molecular structure of the PDMS membrane, causing it to swell and subsequently form dome-shaped MLAs. From our experiments, we derived the following conclusions. First, the homogeneous swelling of the PDMS resulted in MLAs with a high numerical aperture (0.5), high uniformity illumination (CV of the illumination intensity is between 2.5%∼5.1%), and high uniformity (CV of sag height of MLAs is less than 0.05). Second, the shorter molecular chains in low-viscosity oils diffused more readily into the PDMS membrane, which increased the effects on swelling, resulting in MLAs with higher sag height and higher numerical aperture. For example, the 5 cst silicone oil resulted in sag height of 191 µm with NA of 0.50, whereas the 100 cst silicone oil resulted in sag height of 86 µm with numerical aperture of 0.33. Finally, selleck products integrated mixer module enabled the simultaneous tuning of the 7 × 7 MLAs simply by adjusting the injection flow rates of the constituent silicone oils.We present an alternative scheme for the preparation of the phase grating in quantum-dot molecules, where the tunnel coupling occurs between two quantum dots. In the presence of interdot tunneling, the nonlinear dispersion can be significantly enhanced with nearly vanishing linear and nonlinear absorption due to the tunneling-induced quantum coherence. With the help of a standing-wave control field, the weak probe light could be diffracted into high-order direction. It is shown that parameters such as the weak-driving intensity, driving detuning, tunneling strength, and interaction length could be used to adjust the diffraction intensity effectively. Our scheme is focused on the weak standing-wave driving and weak tunneling strength, which may provide an easy and actual way to obtain the phase grating and may have potential applications in quantum-optics and quantum-information-processing devices in the solid-state system.
