Kavli Affiliate: Kerry Vahala | First 5 Authors: Zhiquan Yuan, Maodong Gao, Yan Yu, Heming Wang, Warren Jin | Summary: Soliton microcombs are helping to advance the miniaturization of a range of comb systems. These combs mode lock through the formation of short temporal pulses in anomalous dispersion resonators. Here, a new microcomb is demonstrated […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kerry Vahala | First 5 Authors: Qing-Xin Ji, Warren Jin, Lue Wu, Yan Yu, Zhiquan Yuan | Summary: Normal group velocity dispersion (GVD) microcombs offer high comb line power and high pumping efficiency compared to bright pulse microcombs. The recent demonstration of normal GVD microcombs using CMOS-foundry-produced microresonators is an important step towards […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrei Faraon | First 5 Authors: Conner Ballew, Gregory Roberts, Andrei Faraon, , | Summary: The ideal imaging system would efficiently capture information about all fundamental properties light: intensity, direction, wavelength, and polarization. Most common imaging systems only map the spatial degrees of freedom of light onto a two dimensional image sensor, with […]

Kavli Affiliate: Ariel Amir | First 5 Authors: Tabea Heckenthaler, Tobias Holder, Ariel Amir, Ofer Feinerman, Ehud Fonio | Summary: Some ant species are known as efficient transporters that can cooperatively carry food items which would be too large for a single ant. Previous studies of cooperative transport focused on the role of individual ants […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ariel Amir | First 5 Authors: Tabea Heckenthaler, Tobias Holder, Ariel Amir, Ofer Feinerman, Ehud Fonio | Summary: Paratrechina longicornis ants are known for their ability to cooperatively transport large food items. Previous studies have focused on the behavioral rules of individual ants and explained the efficient coordination using the coupled-carrier model. In […]
Kavli Affiliate: Harry A. Atwater | First 5 Authors: Ramon Gao, Michael D. Kelzenberg, Harry A. Atwater, , | Summary: Lightsail spacecraft, propelled to relativistic velocities via photon pressure using high power density laser radiation, offer a potentially new route to space exploration within and beyond the solar system, extending to interstellar distances. Such missions […]
Kavli Affiliate: Morteza Gharib | First 5 Authors: Peter I Renn, Cong Wang, Sahin Lale, Zongyi Li, Anima Anandkumar | Summary: We apply Fourier neural operators (FNOs), a state-of-the-art operator learning technique, to forecast the temporal evolution of experimentally measured velocity fields. FNOs are a recently developed machine learning method capable of approximating solution operators […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kerry J. Vahala | First 5 Authors: Chao Xiang, Warren Jin, Osama Terra, Bozhang Dong, Heming Wang | Summary: While photonic integrated circuits (PICs) are being widely used in applications such as telecommunications and datacenter interconnects, PICs capable of replacing bulk optics and fibers in high-precision, highly-coherent applications will require ultra-low-noise laser sources […]
