In this Letter, we propose a non-volatile switch based on multimode interference in an SbSe-loaded waveguide. By implementing low-loss phase control within a multimode interference coupler, this design effectively manages the self-imaging phase shift length during a single phase change cycle. The fabricated multiplexed optical switch exhibits impressive performance characteristics, including a low insertion loss of ∼ 1.5 dB, a compact length of ∼35 μm, and minimal cross talk below -6 dB over a 35 nm bandwidth for both the amorphous and crystalline states. The ability to reconfigure light routing via SbSe phase transitions opens new avenues for optical field-programmable gate arrays and high-density photonic processors.

Neuromorphic Visual Devices hold considerable promise for integration into neuromorphic vision systems that combine sensing, memory, and computing. This potential arises from their synergistic benefits in optical signal detection and neuro-inspired computational processes. However, current devices face challenges such as insufficient light/dark resistance ratios, mismatched transient photo-response, and volatile retention characteristics, limiting their adaptability to complex artificial vision systems.

Purpose: To evaluate visual, anatomical and safety outcomes of aflibercept 8 mg in previously treated patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).
Methods: This retrospective study included nAMD patients switched to aflibercept 8 mg from prior anti-VEGF therapies at Sahlgrenska University Hospital between February 2024 and February 2025. Data on best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central retinal thickness (CRT), pigment epithelial detachment (PED) height, fluid status, treatment intervals, time to fluid recurrence and adverse events were collected.

Superlinear photodetectors hold significant potential in intelligent optical detection systems, such as near-field imaging. However, their current realization imposes stringent requirements on photosensitive materials, thereby limiting the flexibility of the device integration for practical applications. Herein, a tunable superlinear GaO deep-ultraviolet gate-all-around (GAA) phototransistor based on a p-n heterojunction has been proposed.

Introduction: Glaucoma treatment predominantly involves the use of topical anti-glaucoma eye drops, with patient adherence influenced by individual preferences. This study aimed to assess these preferences and highlight the importance of personalized treatment approaches among ophthalmologists.
Methods: This French multicenter, cross-sectional study involved 21 ophthalmologists-members of the Board of Directors of the French Society of Glaucoma-from both public and private practices, who distributed a standardized questionnaire to their patients with glaucoma.

A novel medium-current (up to 20 mA), low normalized beam emittance (<1 π mm mrad) electron cyclotron resonance microwave H+ ion source has been developed at the Center for Energy Research in Budapest, Hungary. This high-stability design targets an energy ripple below 1% while delivering a continuous or pulsed proton beam with adjustable pulse duration (0.1-10 ms) and frequency (0.
