Life grows almost everywhere on earth, including in extreme environments and under harsh
conditions. Organisms adapted to high temperatures are called thermophiles (growth …

We demonstrate broadband frequency comb generation in the mid-infrared (MIR) from 2.3 to
3.5 μm in a Si_3N_4 microresonator. We engineer the dispersion of the structure in the MIR …

We report, to the best of our knowledge, the first demonstration of thermally controlled soliton
mode-locked frequency comb generation in microresonators. By controlling the electric …

Background: Prophylactic treatment for severe hemophilia A is likely to be more effective
than treatment when bleeding occurs, however, prophylaxis is costly. We studied an …

Dual-comb spectroscopy is a powerful technique for real-time, broadband optical sampling
of molecular spectra, which requires no moving components. Recent developments with …

The decay of excess minority carriers produced in a silicon wafer of thickness d by a laser
pulse is analyzed. A comprehensive theory based on this analysis is presented for the …

Electro-optic modulators with low voltages and large bandwidths are crucial for both analog
and digital communication. Recently, thin-film lithium niobate modulators have emerged as …

Context aware recommender systems (CARS) adapt to the specific situation in which the
recommended item will be consumed. So, for instance, music recommendations while the …

A functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study was conducted to map syntactic and
semantic processes onto the brain. Chinese‐English bilingual subjects performed two …

Silicon nitride (Si_3N_4) ring resonators are critical for a variety of photonic devices.
However the intrinsically high film stress of silicon nitride has limited both the optical …
