Abstract

In this paper, we propose a microcavity supported by a designed photonic crystal structure (PhC) that supplies both tunability of cavity modes and quality factor of cavity. Low symmetric defect region provides a trigger effect for the frequency shifting by means of rotational manipulation of small symmetry elements. Deviation of effective filling ratio as a result of rotational modification within the defect region results in the emanation of cavity modes at different frequencies. Here, we numerically demonstrate the frequency shifting for each obtained mode with respect to defect region architecture. In addition to wavelength tunability, quality factor, mode volume, and Purcell factors are analyzed for the slightly modified structures. Also, electric field distributions of each mode that emerge at distinct frequencies have been also studied at adjusted frequency modes which are observed for all rotational modification scenarios as $θ_{rot} =[0^\circ,15^\circ,30^\circ, 40^\circ] $. After the investigations in 2D of silicon material ($ε_r=12$), 3D simulations are performed and the collected data is used for the stacking approximation of 3D structures to get the 2D, thus the cross-checking of the quality factor that acquired from the 2D simulation can be executed by comparison with 3D. Limited 3D results are projected to approximate 2D ones step by step and get an exponential trend which reaches in the limit to the $10^8$ value for Q-factor. Besides, 2D and 3D simulations of alumina ($ε_r=9.61$) in terms of mode analysis and quality factor have been repeated considering the microwave experiments. Therefore, experimental analysis is compared with the numerical results and good agreement between the two is found.

Pendellösung length-scale neutron and X-ray interferometry

Neutron and X-ray perfect-crystal interferometers (PCIs) are powerful platforms for studies of fundamental physics and phase-contrast imaging. Further enhancing several PCI capabilities requires reducing crystal blade thickness to the micron scale, which minimizes dynamical-diffraction image blur, permits operation in the pendellösung regime where blade thickness controls beam splitting, and reduces absorption for simultaneous neutron and X-ray operation. However, fabricating multiple crystal blades with identical micrometer-scale thicknesses over centimeter-scale areas remains a major challenge. Here, using a non-etching sub-micron fabrication technique, we demonstrate silicon triple-Laue interferometers with equal-blade-thicknesses of 110 $μ$m and 350 $μ$m, operated with both neutrons and X-rays. These devices are the thinnest PCIs realized to date, enabling a factor-of-six reduction in dynamical-diffraction beam spreading for improved phase-contrast imaging, while reaching the single pendellösung length regime in which crystal thickness provides an experimentally accessible control parameter for engineered quantum-optical beam splitting of plane-wave inputs. These results motivate multi-blade PCI designs utilizing identical half-pendellösung crystal lamellae that are proposed for neutron spin--orbit and electric dipole moment measurements.

A State-Space Framework for trivial and Topological Metamaterial Stochastic Analysis

Topological phononic crystals and elastic metamaterials support edge states defined by global topological invariants, offering a route toward vibration-control and wave-guiding devices that remain functional in the presence of defects. However, manufacturing-induced spatial variability can perturb these invariants and compromise their robustness, making its quantification essential during design. In this work, we first demonstrate that a previously proposed linear time-varying (LTV) formulation is mathematically equivalent to the spectral element method based on transfer matrices for elementary rod, Saint-Venant shaft, and Euler-Bernoulli beam theories. The deterministic formulation is then extended to stochastic analyses through a stochastic linear time-varying (SLTV) framework. The proposed methodology combines Monte Carlo simulations with stochastic Fourier series and an analytical Karhunen--Loève expansion, providing closed-form stochastic fields and their derivatives required by the LTV formulation. The SLTV approach enables the computation of stochastic dispersion diagrams and forced responses of one-dimensional waveguides with arbitrarily varying geometry and mechanical properties. Because the LTV-based transition matrix isolates individual wavemodes without requiring the mode tracking needed by conventional eigenproblem-based formulations, the framework is particularly suited for evaluating topological invariants, specifically the Zak phase, and assessing the robustness of topological bands under spatial variability. Numerical results for rods, shafts, and Euler-Bernoulli beams demonstrate the applicability of the proposed framework as a unified methodology for deterministic and stochastic analyses of trivial and topological periodic waveguides under continuous spatial uncertainty.

Low-loss phononic integrated circuits based on a silicon nitride-lithium niobate platform

Microwave-frequency acoustic waves in solids have emerged as a versatile platform for both classical and quantum applications. While phononic integrated devices and circuits are being developed on various material platforms, an ideal phononic integrated circuit (PnIC) platform should simultaneously support low-loss waveguide structures, high-quality-factor resonators, high-performance modulators, and efficient electromechanical transducers. Here, we establish a low-loss gigahertz-frequency PnIC platform based on patterned thin-film silicon nitride (SiN) on lithium niobate (LN) substrate. We develop low-loss PnIC building blocks including waveguides, directional couplers, and high-quality-factor (high-Q) ring resonators. As an application, we demonstrate a 1-GHz phononic oscillator based on a ring resonator, reaching a low phase noise of -159.0 dBc/Hz at a 100-kHz offset frequency. Our low-loss PnICs could meet the requirements in microwave acoustics, quantum phononics, and integrated hybrid systems combining phonons, photons, superconducting qubits, and solid-state defects.
