In-situ aligned all-polarization-maintaining Er-doped fiber laser mode-locked by a nonlinear amplifying loop mirror

Posted by dbos Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Xiang Zhang, Kangrui Chang, Haobin Zheng, Yongzhuang Zhou, Yong Shen | Summary: Despite the wide applications for high-repetition-rate mode-locked fiber lasers, challenges persist in shortening the cavity length and coupling the fiber collimators for most existing techniques. Here, we introduce a novel collimator alignment method and demonstrate […]

BLEnD: A Benchmark for LLMs on Everyday Knowledge in Diverse Cultures and Languages

Posted by dbos UCAS

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Junho Myung, Nayeon Lee, Yi Zhou, Jiho Jin, Rifki Afina Putri | Summary: Large language models (LLMs) often lack culture-specific knowledge of daily life, especially across diverse regions and non-English languages. Existing benchmarks for evaluating LLMs’ cultural sensitivities are limited to a single language or collected from […]

The graphene squeeze-film microphone

Posted by dbos Delft

Kavli Affiliate: P. G. Steeneken | First 5 Authors: M. P. Abrahams, J. Martinez, P. G. Steeneken, G. J. Verbiest, | Summary: Most microphones operate by detecting the sound-pressure induced motion of a membrane. In contrast, here we introduce a microphone that operates by monitoring the sound-pressure-induced modulation of the compressibility of air. By driving […]

Investigation of Q degradation in low-loss Si3N4 from heterogeneous laser integration

Posted by dbos UCSB

Kavli Affiliate: John E. Bowers | First 5 Authors: Joel Guo, Chao Xiang, Warren Jin, Jonathan Peters, Mingxiao Li | Summary: High-performance, high-volume-manufacturing Si3N4 photonics requires extremely low waveguide losses augmented with heterogeneously integrated lasers for applications beyond traditional markets of high-capacity interconnects. State-of-the-art quality factors (Q) over 200 million at 1550 nm have been […]

The polarization hierarchy for polynomial optimization over convex bodies, with applications to nonnegative matrix rank

Posted by dbos UCSB

Kavli Affiliate: David Gross | First 5 Authors: Martin Plávala, Laurens T. Ligthart, David Gross, , | Summary: We construct a convergent family of outer approximations for the problem of optimizing polynomial functions over convex bodies subject to polynomial constraints. This is achieved by generalizing the polarization hierarchy, which has previously been introduced for the […]
