With the explosive growth of data traffic, it is highly desired to develop hybrid photonic integrated circuits combining various optical components on a single chip. Silicon is an outstanding material ...

The researchers only required four tubes to stack and draw the Dirac vortex photonic crystal fibre, which was very reasonable for fabrication. The four silica tubes used in the process had the same ...

Quantum mechanics has a reputation that precedes it. Virtually everyone who has bumped up against the quantum realm, whether in a physics class, in the lab, or in popular science writing, is left ...
