Lenses with two or more foci along the longitudinal direction exhibit immense potential in several optical applications. In this study, we propose an approach for generating subdiffraction longitudinal bifoci by binary-phase bifocal super-oscillatory lenses (SOLs), which are realized by simple AND operation between two single-foci SOLs with different focal lengths. Three bifocal SOLs with radiusRlens=70λ are designed at an operating wavelength of λ=118.8µm. Simulation results demonstrate that the minimum full width at half maximum (FWHM) is 0.397λ, and the maximum FWHM is 0.449λ, which is still smaller than the Abbe diffraction limit of 0.510λ, while all the sidelobe ratios are small ( less then 15.1%). By properly choosing the focal length of the single-foci SOLs in the design process, the distance between the two foci can be easily controlled. Significantly, the generated bifoci with relatively uniform intensity contain a strong longitudinal electric field, which indicates their excellent prospects in optical imaging, particle acceleration, and other optical applications. In addition, the proposed bifoci-SOLs are based on the binary phase modulation, which facilitates easy fabrication compared with other approaches. These outstanding properties indicate the wide application prospects of bifocal SOLs.We investigate microsecond pulse-mode operation of a micro-integrated high-power diode laser based on volume Bragg grating external-cavity feedback around 808 nm. The laser system contains a tapered amplifier consisting of a ridge-waveguide section and a tapered section with separated electrical contacts. Thus, the diode laser system can be pulsed by modulating the injected current either to the ridge waveguide section (I R W ) or to the tapered amplifier section (I T A ). With a trigger signal of a 50 µs pulse width and a 10 kHz repetition rate, comparing the modulation depth, peak output power, beam propagation factor, and spectral bandwidth, we conclude that the pulse-mode operation achieved by modulating the I T A gives better results than by modulating the I R W due to the decreased thermal effect. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/apx2009.html At a constant I R W of 0.2 A and a modulated I T A of 6.0 A, 4.3 W of peak output power is obtained with an emission spectral bandwidth with an upper bound of 0.2 nm, and a beam propagation factor in the slow axis, Mslow2, of 2.6 (1/e2). The modulation depth is almost 100%. The results show that the tapered diode laser system may be a good candidate for microsecond pulse-mode solid-state lasers.A modified solid-core photonic crystal fiber (PCF)-based plasmonic sensor is proposed where light propagation through the PCF is controlled by scaling down of air holes. The modified core facilitates the easy excitation of the plasmonic surface, resulting in improved sensor performance. The chemically stable gold is externally coated on the PCF surface, which helps to establish surface plasmon resonance phenomena. The response of the sensor is analyzed based on the numerical method, and the design parameters are optimized to enhance the sensing performance. The asymmetric fiber-core structure provides the polarization controllability and significantly suppresses the y-polarized response to achieve a dominant x-polarized response and additional functionalities. The sensor exhibits a maximum wavelength sensitivity of 11,000 nm/RIU (refractive index unit) and sensing resolution of 9.09×10-6 RIU in the x-polarized mode. Also, the sensor exhibits maximum amplitude sensitivity of 631RIU-1, and a good figure of merit is 157RIU-1. Furthermore, the sensor can detect the unknown analytes' refractive index (RI) in the sensing analyte RI range of 1.33 to 1.40, which will lead to finding the potential applications in biomolecules, organic chemicals, and environment monitoring.Herein, a compact and efficient inverted tapered ridge-to-slot waveguide coupler design based on the silicon-on-insulator platform is presented. The proposed device consists of three segments such as ridge waveguide, inverted taper segment, and slot waveguide. The coupling segment resembles a V shape, which provides good mode-matching between the ridge and slot waveguide. Two significant aspects of the proposed coupler design are discussed. In the first part of the paper, the coupler design optimized at 1.55 µm is suggested for optical interconnect. The propagation loss and coupling efficiency of 1.69 dB/µm and 91% are obtained for the 100 nm long tapered segment introduced between the ridge waveguide and slot waveguide, respectively. This propagation loss of the device includes the loss suffered by the ridge waveguide, tapered segment, and slot waveguide. Our proposed device design can be used in integrated optical platforms, where the efficient coupling of light to slot waveguides is required. Whereas, in the second part, the coupler design is optimized at the mid-infrared of 3.392 µm for an evanescent field absorption methane gas sensor. Slot waveguide offers excessive light-matter interaction due to its strong mode confinement in the low index material. The evanescent field ratio of ∼0.73 is obtained for the optimized waveguide geometry. As a result, 3 dB decay in the transmitted power can be obtained at 60% of gas concentration present in the ambient medium.We examine the impact of illumination, aperture, and sample thickness on two division-of-focal-plane (DoFP) polarimeters, one created using a standard 3 T pixel and the other with a forward-biased, logarithmic pixel. Across all measured metrics the logarithmic DoFP polarimeter was better able to track real-time changes in collagen alignment than the standard DoFP polarimeter.A novel optical multi-image encryption method based on focal length multiplexing and multimode phase retrieval is proposed in this study. During the encryption process of the proposed method, multiple secret images were encrypted into a single intensity-only image using focal length multiplexing and a coherent diffractive imaging-based encryption system. A specially designed iterative algorithm based on multimode phase retrieval is proposed for the accurate decryption of the original multiple secret images from the intensity pattern. The advantages of the proposed method include a compact optical setup and high decryption quality. The feasibility, security, and robustness of the proposed method were investigated by numerical simulations.
