This research has significant implications for the future of silicon photonics. Integrating GeSn-based lasers into silicon photonic circuits could advance communication systems, particularly in quantum computing and high-speed data transmission. Their ability to operate at cryogenic temperatures makes them id...
Advances in photonics technology have led to the development of Dirac-vortex topological cavities, utilizing photonic crystals with a honeycomb structure to improve single-mode operation in semiconductor lasers48 (Fig. 3b). This work provides scalable mode areas, arbitrary mode degeneracies, and vector...
such as broadband communication and medical diagnostics devices. About ten years ago, extremely small and fast lasers known as plasmonic nanolasers were developed. These nanolasers are potentially more power-efficient than traditional lasers, and they have been of great advantage in many...
The advent of serial femtosecond crystallography at X-ray free electron lasers (XFELs) pioneered the development of new methods for the determination of macromolecular structures. The high brilliance of the source generates a photon flux density so intense that it evaporates the microcrystalline samples...
