The state‐of‐the‐art of high‐refractive‐index‐contrast single‐crystalline thin lithium niobate
(LiNbO3) films as a new platform for high‐density integrated optics is reviewed. Sub …

The aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review of mode-division and spatial-
division optical fiber sensors, mainly encompassing interferometers and advanced fiber …

We report on the experimental demonstration of a fiber chirped-pulse amplification system
capable of generating nearly transform-limited sub 500 fs pulses with 2.2 mJ pulse energy at …

Recent progress on numerical modeling methods for photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) such as
the effective index approach, basis-function expansion approach, and numerical approach …

Photonic crystal fibers are a new class of optical fibers. Their artificial crystal-like
microstructure results in a number of unusual properties. They can guide light not only …

Photonic crystal fibers present a wavelength-scale periodic microstructure running along
their length. Their core and two-dimensional photonic crystal might be based on varied …

An experimentally realizable prototype optical nanocircuit consisting of a receiving and an
emitting nanoantenna connected by a two-wire optical transmission line is studied using …

Given that many fundamental questions in neuroscience are still open, it seems pertinent to
explore whether the brain might use other physical modalities than the ones that have been …

We investigate the focusing of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) excited with 1.5 µm light in
a tapered Au waveguide on a planar dielectric substrate by experiments and simulations …

Ytterbium-doped large-pitch fibers with very large mode areas are investigated in a high-
power fiber amplifier configuration. An average output power of 294? W is demonstrated …
