ULTRAHIGH PURCELL FACTOR, IMPROVED SENSITIVITY, AND ENHANCED OPTICAL FORCE IN DIELECTRIC BOWTIE WHISPERING-GALLERY-MODE RESONATORS

Ultrahigh Purcell Factor, Improved Sensitivity, and Enhanced Optical Force in Dielectric Bowtie Whispering-Gallery-Mode Resonators

We propose and theoretically investigate an all-dielectric bowtie whisperinggallery-mode (WGM) resonator which consists of two tip-to-tip coupled semiconductor nanorings with triangular cross section separated by low refractive index material gap.Mode splitting of symmetric WGM and antisymmetric WGM is observed and analyzed.Due to extremely field e

Fibrillar organization in tendons: A pattern revealed by percolation characteristics of the respective geometric network

Since the tendon is composed by collagen fibrils of various sizes connected between them through molecular cross-links, it sounds logical to model it via a heterogeneous network of southwestern aztec rug fibrils.Using cross sectional images, that network is operatively inferred from the respective Gabriel graph of the fibril mass centers.We focus o

Spirals on the sea

Spiral eddies were first seen in the sun glitter on the Apollo Mission 30 years ago; they have since been recorded on SAR here missions and in the infrared.The spirals are globally distributed, 10-25 km in size and overwhelmingly cyclonic.They have not been explained.Under light winds favorable to visualization, linear surface features with high su

Mini-LEDs with Diffuse Reflection Cavity Arrays and Quantum Dot Film for Thin, Large-Area, High-Luminance Flat Light Source

Mini-light-emitting diodes (mini-LEDs) were combined with multiple three-dimensional (3D) diffuse reflection cavity arrays (DRCAs) to produce thin, large-area, high-brightness, flat light source modules.The curvature of the 3D free-form DRCA was optimized to control its light path; this increased the distance between light sources and reduced read
