A wavelength-selective retroreflector for a diverging wave will be an attractive external mirror for compact wavelength-stabilized semiconductor lasers and consists of a focusing grating coupler and a cavity resonator. In this Letter, the retroreflector utilizing a Bloch surface wave (BSW) resonance was theoretically investigated for improving the retro-reflectance in comparison to a previously reported structure utilizing guided-mode resonance (GMR). A retroreflector with an aperture size of 31 µm and focal length of 67 µm was designed for an operation wavelength of 1550 nm. The maximum retro-reflectance is predicted by numerical simulation to be higher by 11% than that of the GMR-based retroreflector.

The exclusive formation of artificial multicomponent assemblies remains a significant challenge, in contrast to the well-established organization observed in natural systems, due to intrinsic entropic constraints. To overcome this limitation, recent efforts have been focused on developing precision self-assembly strategies for the rational construction of such architectures. Here, we construct an ideal complementary pair of 2,2':6',2″-terpyridine (tpy)-based ligands by fine-tuning the substituent bulkiness, which enables the quantitative formation of robust nested cages through efficient dynamic heteroleptic complexation with multivalent coordination.

Background: Diniconazole (DCZ) is a poorly water-soluble triazole fungicide. However, the water solubility of DCZ can be significantly enhanced by inclusion complexation with cyclodextrins. In order to improve the properties and bioavailability of pesticide fungicides DCZ, a new system of nanofibers was prepared by electrospinning and cyclodextrin encapsulation.

To address the growing demand for compact and high-performance microwave filters in modern communication systems, a mixed-mode bandpass filter is proposed in the article. A dual-layer substrate integrated waveguide resonator loaded with a capacitive patch (CP-DSIWR) is proposed and theoretically analyzed, with both patch modes and cavity modes existing. To construct the bandpass filter, two rows of metallic vias are designed in the CP-SIWR to enable coupling between the two types of the modes, with the structure being fed by microstrip line.

Background: This study evaluates the quality of synthetic computed tomography (sCT) images for MR-only radiotherapy in prostate cancer using gamma analysis. A software tool, MRGamma, was developed to address challenges like the absence of electron density maps and registration uncertainties between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and planning CT (pCT).
Materials And Methods: Aplication developed in MATLAB assesses Hounsfield units (HU) discrepancies between CT and sCT images via 2D and 3D gamma analysis (GA).
