Information Acquisition, Processing, Display and Perception

  • Spotlight Summary by Steven Cundiff

    • High-speed two-dimensional terahertz spectroscopy with echelon-based shot-to-shot balanced detection
    • The concept of multidimensional spectroscopy was developed in nuclear magnetic resonance in the 1960s and 1970s. Its ability to reveal coupling between nuclear spins was revolutionary. Over the last couple of decades,...

Light–Matter Interactions

  • Spotlight Summary by Anderson M. Amaral

    • Plasmonically enhanced composite vortex beam generation using ultra-thin dielectric fork gratings
    • This work shows how the efficiency of subwavelength dielectric gratings can be substantially enhanced with the application of a thin gold layer between the grating and the substrate. This is an interesting result...

  • Spotlight Summary by Kevin C. Zhou

    • Simultaneous multiple time scale imaging for kHz–MHz high-speed accelerometry
    • Current high-speed imaging technology forces us to make several compromises, one of which is the tradeoff between the imaging speed and the recording duration. Specifically, at frame rates in the MHz to GHz regime, one...

Optical Design and Instrumentation

  • Spotlight Summary by Peter Banzer

    • Vector space-time wave packets
    • The structure of light, i.e. the spatial and temporal distributions of its inherent parameters such as intensity, polarization, frequency, etc, can be tailored and manipulated on demand and, thus, adapted to...

Optoelectronics

  • Spotlight Summary by Vassilios Kapaklis

    • Light-induced thermomagnetic recording of thin-film magnet CoFeB on silicon waveguide for on-chip magneto-optical memory
    • Bringing up the term “speed of light” often makes us think of velocities, but there is more to it, as light can induce ultrafast changes to properties of condensed matter. A prominent example is the...
