Moreover, the manipulation of magnetic field under multiple MNZ scatterers may enable their use in new applications, such as in the robust energy transfer with properties of long-range and multiple receivers.We report an idler-resonant, continuous-wave (CW) seed injected, optical parametric oscillator (OPO) based on cadmium selenide (CdSe). Tacrolimus The CdSe OPO was pumped by a 2.09 µm ns-pulsed laser and injection-seeded by a 2.58 µm CW laser. The idler-resonant oscillator was designed to maximize the optical-to-optical conversion efficiency and optimize the beam quality. The injected seed laser was designed to reduce the pump threshold. With this setup, the average idler output power of 802 mW was obtained corresponding to a pulse energy of 0.8 mJ at the wavelength of 11.01 µm and linewidth (FWHM) of 0.6 cm-1, optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 4.4%, quantum conversion efficiency of 23.3%, beam quality of M2x = 1.23, M2y = 1.12, and pulse width of 21 ns. In addition, by turning the angle of the CdSe, wavelength tuning of 10.55-11.98 µm was achieved.Graduated optical filters are commonly used for spatial image control as they are capable of darkening the overexposed parts of the image specifically. However, they lack flexibility because each filter has a fixed transmission distribution. We herein present a fully controllable graduated filter based on the electrochromic device. Its graduated transmission distribution can be spatially controlled by the application of multiple electric potentials. In this way, the control of the gradient's position and its width, transmission and angular orientation is possible. Simulation of both the spatial potential distribution and the resultant optical absorption distribution are conducted to optimize the electrode configuration and furthermore to derive a control dataset that facilitates the adjustment and thus the application of the graduated filter. Based on three objective and quantitative criteria, we identify the electrode configuration with the highest flexibility in all four controls, manufacture the device using a gravure printing process for the nanoparticle electrodes and show its successful application.In this work, we propose and demonstrate the concept of remote reflections, which help to multiply the photon propagations for increasing the light extraction efficiency (LEE) for both transverse magnetic (TM)- and transverse electric (TE)-polarized light. The remote reflection is enabled by using a remote-metal-reflector-based air cavity extractor. According to our study, the remote reflections can significantly avoid the optical absorption when compared with the conventional inclined-sidewall-shaped deep-ultraviolet light-emitting diodes with the metal Al reflector on the inclined sidewalls. As a result, the optical power for our proposed devices has been significantly enhanced by 55% experimentally. Numerical simulations further reveal that the remote metal reflector not only favors more total internal refection on the inclined sidewalls but also supports additional light escaped channels for enhancing the LEE.The most typical way to optically control population of atomic and molecular systems is to illuminate them with radiation, resonant to the relevant transitions. Here we consider a possibility to control populations with the subcycle and even unipolar pulses, containing less than one oscillation of electric field. Despite the spectrum of such pulses covers several levels at once, we show that it is possible to selectively excite the levels of our choice by varying the driving pulse shape, duration or time delay between consecutive pulses. The pulses which are not unipolar, but have a peak of electric field of one polarity much higher (and shorter) than of the opposite one, are also capable for such control.In this paper, we innovatively demonstrate a rotatable direct-binary-search algorithm. Based on this unique inverse design method, the coupling region of nanophotonic device can be realized with multi-shape and multi-rotation pixels. In addition, the novel 1× 2 mode converters with multipurpose design goals on a 220 nm-thick top silicon-on-insulator platform are proposed by utilizing this enhanced algorithm, which can simultaneously achieve power splitting and mode conversion. By 3D fine difference time domain solutions, the 1 × 2 mode converter that converts TE0 mode into TE1, with a footprint of 2.7 µm × 2.4 µm, exhibits the excess loss of 0.1 - 0.2 dB (TE1 mode), crosstalk of lower than -20.6 dB (TE0 mode) and reflection loss of lower than -19.5 dB (TE0 mode) from 1500 nm to 1600 nm. The 1 × 2 mode converter that transforms TE0 into TE2 occupies the footprint of 3.6 µm × 3 µm. The excess loss is 0.3 - 0.4 dB (TE2 mode) in the wavelength range of 1500 - 1600 nm. The crosstalks are lower than -17.5 dB (TE1 mode) and -25.1 dB (TE0 mode), and the reflection loss is lower than -18.3 dB (TE0 mode). Besides, the fabrication tolerances caused by both expansion or contraction of etched pattern contour and round corner effect are also investigated.Based on the phased-shifted interference between supermodes, a novel method that can directly convert LP01 mode to orbital angular momentum (OAM) mode in a dual-ring microstructure optical fiber is proposed. In this fiber, the resonance between even and odd HE11 modes in inner ring and higher order mode in outer ring will form two pairs of supermodes, and the intensities and phases of the complete superposition mode fields for the involved supermodes created by the resonance at different wavelengths and propagating lengths are investigated and exhibited in this paper. We demonstrate that OAM mode can be generated from π/2-phase-shifted linear combinations of supermodes, and the phase difference of the even and odd higher order eigenmodes can accumulate to π/2 during the coupling process, which is defined as "phase-shifted" conversion. We build a complete theoretical model and systematically analyze the phase-shifted coupling mechanism, and the design principle and optimization method of this fiber are also illustrated in detail. The proposed microstructure fiber is compact, and the OAM mode conversion method is simple and flexible, which could provide a new approach to generate OAM states.
