Mode-walk-off interferometry for position-resolved optical fiber sensing

Posted by Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Alireza Marandi | First 5 Authors: Luis Costa, Zhongwen Zhan, Alireza Marandi, , | Summary: Simultaneously sensing and resolving the position of measurands along an optical fiber enables numerous opportunities, especially for application in environments where massive sensor deployment is not feasible. Despite significant progress in techniques based on round-trip time-of-flight measurements, the […]

Large-gap insulating dimer ground state in monolayer IrTe2

Posted by klaurent Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Michael F. Crommie | First 5 Authors: Jinwoong Hwang, Kyoo Kim, Canxun Zhang, Tiancong Zhu, Charlotte Herbig | Summary: Monolayers of two-dimensional van der Waals materials exhibit novel electronic phases distinct from their bulk due to the symmetry breaking and reduced screening in the absence of the interlayer coupling. In this work, we […]

Chip-Based Laser with 1 Hertz Integrated Linewidth

Posted by klaurent Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Kerry J. Vahala | First 5 Authors: Joel Guo, Charles A. McLemore, Chao Xiang, Dahyeon Lee, Lue Wu | Summary: Lasers with hertz-level linewidths on timescales up to seconds are critical for precision metrology, timekeeping, and manipulation of quantum systems. Such frequency stability typically relies on bulk-optic lasers and reference cavities, where increased […]

Symmetries of the Primordial Sky

Posted by klaurent Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Craig Hogan | First 5 Authors: Craig Hogan, , , , | Summary: Quantum field theory, which is generally used to describe the origin of large-scale gravitational perturbations during cosmic inflation, has been shown to omit an important physical effect in curved space-time, the nonlocal entanglement among quantized modes from their gravitational effect […]

Knowledge-Spreader: Learning Facial Action Unit Dynamics with Extremely Limited Labels

Posted by klaurent Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Xiaotian Li, Xiang Zhang, Taoyue Wang, Lijun Yin, | Summary: Recent studies on the automatic detection of facial action unit (AU) have extensively relied on large-sized annotations. However, manually AU labeling is difficult, time-consuming, and costly. Most existing semi-supervised works ignore the informative cues from the temporal […]
