Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present the analysis of influence of defects in 1D photonic crystal (PC) on the density of states and simultaneously spontaneous emission, in both spatial and frequency domains. In our investigations we use an analytic model of 1D PC with defects. Our analysis reveals how presence of a defect causes a defect mode to appear. We show that a defect in 1D PC has local character, being negligible in regions of PC situated far from the defected elementary cell. We also analyze the effect of multiple defects, which lead to photonic band gap splitting.

Model and theory of dark photons in the visible light range

This paper explores the possibility of the existence of dark photons within the visible light range and provides evidence for their existence through a thought experiment. A new model of dark photons is established based on extensive theoretical research, forming a comprehensive theory of dark photons. This theory provides a reasonable explanation for certain perplexing optical phenomena, such as the wave-particle duality of light, Young's double-slit experiment, as well as phenomena like dark matter, dark energy, stellar spectral redshift, and negative time. Furthermore, this theory holds reference value for studying the properties of other fundamental particles and exploring quantum gravity.

Pulsed heterodyne detection enables fiber-compatible, high-specificity Brillouin biomechanics in intact tissue and the living brain

Brillouin microscopy provides label-free, three-dimensional mechanical characterization of biological specimens, but current dispersive detection imposes two limits: the fiber background folds onto the sample spectrum, precluding single-fiber operation, and a ~250 MHz dispersion-induced instrumental broadening blurs mechanically distinct components within a focal volume. Here, we introduce pulsed heterodyne Brillouin detection (PHBD), which retrieves the spectrum electronically from temporal beat notes, overcoming both limitations. The fiber background beats outside the detection band and is rejected; elimination of dispersive broadening yields 25-MHz spectrometer resolution. Pulsed excitation reaches Brillouin-signal-shot-noise-limited detection, attaining 9.0-MHz shift precision in 3 ms at 30 mW in water with 53-fold improvement in energy efficiency over continuous-wave excitation. Through a bare 125-um fiber, PHBD resolves regional contrast along a 4-mm insertion track in the living mouse brain; in free space, it resolves distinct Brillouin components from the cell wall and adjacent cytoplasm in strongly scattering Arabidopsis root tips with epi-mode.

Pearcey-Inspired Quartic Wavefront Shaping for Obstructed Near-Field Multi-User Communications

Radiative near-field (RNF) beamforming is vulnerable to Fresnel-zone blockages. This letter proposes an obstruction-unaware wavefront shaping strategy inspired by catastrophe optics: a calibrated quartic phase generates a Pearcey-inspired wavepacket that improves effective multi-user channel separability in the tested partially blocked geometries. The quartic beam is calibrated in free space without obstruction information, while digital zero-forcing (ZF) uses the resulting effective channel to evaluate common SINR under a shared total transmit-power constraint. Numerical results demonstrate a peak sampled common-SINR gain of $4.29$~dB over conventional focusing when closely spaced users experience strong central blockage.
