Article Abstract
Precise characterization of the quality factor () and coupling regimes in ultra-low-loss optical microcavities represents a critical research objective. Compact optical microcavities exhibit a smaller surface area, making thermal effects non-negligible. Consequently, the heat induced by the probe light can compromise the accuracy of characterization. This paper proposes a scheme for testing microcavity performance by modulating the probe light with radio frequency (RF) signals. The RF signal is applied to a Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM), where the carrier wave enables the microcavity to reach a state of thermal locking, while the first-order sideband is scanned across frequencies near the resonance. This scheme combines fine frequency stepping at the Hz level and thermal locking to enable both stationary and dynamic measurements with exceptional stability.

Aerogels are widely used in environmental remediation, but their application is hindered by brittleness, limited oil absorption and poor separation of viscous crude oil. In this study, a multifunctional superhydrophobic aerogel with electrothermal and photothermal effects was prepared from bacterial cellulose (BC), methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS), and hydroxylated carbon nanotubes (HCNT) by soft-hard synergistic and directed freezing. The prepared aerogel exhibited an oriented layered porous structure with excellent compressibility and oil retention capacity.

An interferometer used for displacement measurement is typically adjusted to the center or another appropriate point of the interferometer fringe as a working point to yield maximum detection sensitivity and linearity. The interferometer is prone to varying misalignment in the course of measurements, most noticeable due to thermal drift affecting the interferometer dimensions. We introduce an automatic correction mechanism based on a proportional/integral (PI) control loop to remove any error in the alignment of the fiber interferometer, specifically long-term drift.

Here, we design and fabricate a silicon nitride adiabatic ring microresonator that achieves low average dispersion with negligible avoided mode crossings. We explore the soliton microcomb bifurcation diagram for various mode-locking states in the microresonator, and investigate the stochastic linewidth through both numerical simulations and experimental measurements.

However, it is a highly anisotropic and biaxial medium, making its use as a thin-disk laser challenging. In this study, to the best of our knowledge, we demonstrate the first Kerr-lens mode-locked thin-disk laser based on Yb:KLuW, utilizing a sufficiently thin gain medium and low thermal resistance bonding.

For free-space optical communication, high-power, high-quality vortex beams with a high signal-to-noise ratio are critical for long-distance communication. Coherent beam combining (CBC) of vortex beams enables the enhancement of power while maintaining high beam quality.
