Article Abstract
We demonstrate the fabrication of side-pump coupler with high coupling efficiency using low-loss, homemade fluorotellurite glass fiber for the first time. Benefiting from the optimization of pump fiber waist diameter and winding turns, the coupler fabricated by the tapered winding method achieves a maximum coupling efficiency of 88.66%. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the highest reported coupling efficiency for a side-pump coupler based on homemade mid-infrared (MIR) soft glass fibers. Furthermore, the coupler's maximum handling power reaches 10 W at 976 nm, with an RMS stability of 0.4619%. Additionally, the experimental results reveal that the refractive index of the pump fiber closely matching that of the inner cladding of the signal fiber is significantly helpful in improving the coupling efficiency of the side-pump coupler. Fluorescence output of 2.7 µm was achieved by fabricating a side-pumped coupler on an Er-doped fluorotellurite fiber. This study provides an effective approach and reference for the fabrication of high coupling efficiency MIR side-pump couplers.

Simulating large-scale lattice dynamics remains a long-standing challenge in condensed matter and materials science, where mechanical and thermal behaviors arise from coupled vibrational modes. We introduce a quantum algorithm that reformulates general harmonic lattice dynamics as a time-dependent Schrödinger equation governed by a sparse, Hermitian Hamiltonian. This enables the use of Hamiltonian simulation techniques on quantum devices, offering exponential speedup in the number of atoms N.

The photonic flat band, defined by minimal dispersion and near-zero group velocity, has facilitated significant advances in optical technologies. The practical applications of flat bands, such as enhanced light-matter interactions, require efficient coupling to far-field radiation. However, achieving controlled coupling between flat bands and their corresponding localized modes with far-field radiation remains challenging and elusive.

While hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) hosts promising room-temperature quantum emitters for hybrid quantum photonic circuits, scalable deterministic integration and insufficient brightness alongside low photon collection and coupling efficiencies remain unresolved challenges. We present a femtosecond laser nanoengineering platform that enables the site-specific generation of hBN single-photon source (SPS) arrays. First-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations and polarization-resolved spectroscopy confirm the atomic origin of emission as interfacial defects at hBN/SiO heterojunctions.

Optomechanical and electro-optomechanical systems have emerged as one of the most promising approaches for quantum microwave-to-optical transduction to interconnect distributed quantum modalities for scaling the quantum systems. These systems use suspended structures to increase mode overlap and mitigate loss to achieve high efficiency. However, the suspended design's poor heat dissipation under strong drive limits the ultimate efficiency.

Acoustic tweezers leverage acoustic radiation forces for noncontact manipulation. One of the core bottlenecks in multidimensional manipulation is the lack of a systematic design methodology, which prevents the generation of an acoustic field that simultaneously meets the collaborative control requirements of multi-degree-of-freedom forces and torques, making it difficult to achieve precise control under conditions of stable suspension, high-frequency rotation, and complex spatial constraints. To address this challenge, we develop an end-to-end inverse design methodology for acoustic tweezers based on coding metasurfaces, establishing a dual-objective, dual-scale optimization paradigm.
