Discretization of Annular-Ring Diffraction Pattern for Large-Scale Photonics Beamforming

Kavli Affiliate: Ali Hajimiri | Summary:A solid-state active beamformer based on the annular-ring diffraction pattern is proposed for an integrated photonic platform. Such a circularly symmetric annular-ring aperture achieves radiating element limited FOV. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that a multi-annular-ring aperture with a fixed linear density of elements maintains the beam efficiency for larger apertures […]

Mechanical basis and topological routes to cell elimination

Kavli Affiliate: G. Ravichandran |Summary:Cell layers eliminate unwanted cells through the extrusion process, which underlines healthy versus flawed tissue behaviors. Although several biochemical pathways have been identified, the underlying mechanical basis including the forces involved in cellular extrusion remain largely unexplored. Utilizing a phase-field model of a three-dimensional cell layer, we study the interplay of […]
