This study introduces an optimization design method for large-scale curvature-adjustable optical mirrors, innovatively integrating parametric modeling with the optimized layout of actuators, targeting the achievement of extensive curvature adjustability and high-precision surface correction for segmented mirrors. The optimization objective is based on the surface figure residual when the curvature radius of the segmented mirror is altered by 100 mm. Through the optimization of the number, arrangement, and thickness of reinforcement ribs of the actuators on the back of the segmented mirror, a parametric model of a segmented mirror with an edge-to-edge distance of 510 mm and a radius of curvature 9100 mm is developed. Simulation outcomes reveal that a 0-15 mu m variation in the actuators results in a curvature radius change of 178.45 mm in the segmented mirror, with a highly linear correlation, achieving a radius of curvature reconfiguration of the primary mirror in the optical system from 9100 mm to 9000 mm, with a residual surface figure error of less than 10 nm. The experimental results indicate that within a 0-15 mu m closed-loop stroke range, the curvature radius of the segmented mirror can be adjusted by 146.89 mm, fulfilling the design objective of a lightweight mirror with a significantly adjustable curvature radius. This research is anticipated to offer technical support and serve as a reference for the assembly, adjustment, and inspection of large-aperture segmented mirrors, as well as for the curvature radius variation in multiple segmented mirrors, thereby holding substantial practical value in engineering applications.

We explore the prospects of phase -modulated optical nonreciprocity and enhanced ground -state cooling of a mechanical resonator for the reversed -dissipation system, where the dissipative coupling between two cavities is realized through the adiabatic elimination of a low -Q mechanical mode, while a high -Q mechanical mode interacts with two mutually coupled cavities, forming a closed -loop structure. This unique system facilitates the nontrivial phenomenon of optomechanically induced transparency (OMIT), which exhibits asymmetry due to the frequency shift effect. We also observe the emergence of parity -dependent unidirectional OMIT windows (appearing under the phase -matching condition), which can be dynamically modulated by both the phase factors and the strength of the dissipative coupling. Furthermore, our study delves into the ground -state cooling effect operating within the reversed -dissipation regime. Intriguingly, the cooling effect can be significantly enhanced by carefully engineering dissipative complex coupling, such as in the phase -matching condition. The potential applications of this scheme extend to the fabrication of ideal optical isolators in optical communication systems and the manipulation of macroscopic mechanical resonators at the quantum level, presenting exciting opportunities in quantum technologies.

Polarization analysis is crucial for optimizing VR systems, reducing unwanted reflections, enhancing image clarity, and improving contrast under varied lighting conditions. Traditional methods in lens design focus on ideal polarization components, such as perfect linear polarizers, and lack the ability to analyze real-world imperfections. This study introduces a workflow integrated into Ansys Zemax OpticStudio, enabling the analysis of imperfect polarization conditions, such as 10% depolarization, to simulate the realistic impact of non-ideal polarizers on the overall optical system. By modeling these imperfections and generating corresponding Mueller matrix maps, the workflow provides a comprehensive view of polarization transformations across the system's field of view. The results demonstrate how this approach streamlines polarization analysis, supports precise control under realistic conditions, and facilitates the design of high-performance VR opticalsystems, advancing both theoretical understanding and practical applications.

With the growing scarcity of spectrum resources and the exponential rise in information transmission demand, improving channel capacity and spectrum utilization remains a significant challenge that has attracted considerable attention. The independent and free control of multi-polarization channels of wavefront has brought a promising solution to address this problem. This paper proposes what we believe is a novel approach that combines the propagation phase and PB phase to break the limitations of spin-locking and realize independent control of linearly and circularly polarized vortex beams for each distinct polarization channel. The partition design of spin-decoupled single-layer metasurface, which is proposed based on polarization conversion units by tailoring cross-polarized components, enables complete control of full polarization multichannel wavefronts. This approach has the potential to considerably reduce the design complexity while ensuring simultaneous and independent modulation of the topological charges, beam deflection angles (the angles deviating from theta =0 degrees, phi=0 degrees), and linearly and circularly polarizations of multichannel wavefronts, which is beneficial for increasing the information capability and improving communication efficiency. The theoretical design was verified through experimentation. This method can be applied to multichannel wavefronts control, polarization multiplexing and super-resolution imaging in microwave and opticalsystems.

We describe a mini-endoscope design that uses a new type of electrically tunable liquid crystal lens array enabling the dynamic increase of spatial resolution by adjusting the working distance in various zones of interest over a relatively large field of view (FoV) without mechanical movement. The characterization of the system is performed by using uniform fluorescent films, fluorescent micro spheres and a tissue sample expressing the fluorescent calcium indicator GCaMP6s. Lateral resolution of up to 2 mu m over the FoV between 300 mu m400 mu m is experimentally demonstrated.

In the face of a changing climate and a rising number of "food deserts" in both rural and urban areas, there is a demand to supply fresh produce year-round to communities at the end of the traditional agriculture supply chain. Vertical indoor farming is a promising mode of next-generation agriculture that boasts reduced water and pesticide usage, improved yields, more consistent quality, year-round cultivation, and cheaper transportation and harvesting costs. Indoor farms can rival industrial greenhouses in size, but small-scale "pod farms" can be deployed to smaller communities and areas where large swaths of land are either unavailable or too costly. These pods are often the size of shipping containers with their temperature, humidity, and plant nutrient supply carefully controlled. Plants inside the pods are grown hydroponically with light supplied by panels of LEDs and, thus, this mode of farming is fundamentally different from greenhouse farming. Many indoor farming pods have recently become commercially available claiming high energy efficiency, but little analysis and optimization work has been done to prove these claims. To drive innovation in the design of these physical systems, we have developed a digital-twin and genomic optimization framework for the opticaldesign of vertical indoor farming pods. We model a completely enclosed indoor farming pod with plants in the three mutually-orthogonal planes and illuminated by LED "walls." We employ ray-tracing methods and a genetic algorithm to determine the LED source tube area size, beam aperture spread, and power requirements for maximal power absorption by the plants.

This paper presents the design and experimental validation of an all-dielectric and transparent metagrating-based metalens. Leveraging multiple guided mode resonances simultaneously, the metagrating enables the generation of two or more spectrally narrow reflection peaks. These peaks are achieved through the precise engineering of guided mode resonances, allowing for the reflection of a comb of vibrant and saturated colours. In addition to the investigation of underlying mechanisms, we introduce an analytical numerical method that facilitates rapid engineering of the spectral positions of the reflection peak comb. Experimental validation is provided for a bichromatic sample. Such metagrating can be promising for augmented reality systems, supporting individuals with mild to moderate cognitive impairments by delivering visual and textual stimuli that can improve indoor navigation, home safety, communication, and decision-making.

Crystal engineering is a potential strategy to design functional materials, including solid-state emitters. The design and development of organic emitters are of multi-fold significance as they are applied in fields ranging from biology to industry, defence and artificial intelligence. Herein, we discuss crystal engineering-based developments in crystalline organic solid-state emitters. We highlight the understanding and realization of emission tuning in multi-component crystalline materials and provide insights into their structure-property relationship, yielding important generalizations. Moreover, for the benefit of early researchers, a discussion on fundamental aspects such as mechanistic and crystal packing insights into solid-state emissions is provided. Subsequently, structure-property relationship studies are discussed considering the nature of pi-aggregates (H, J, X and I) and polymorphism. A comprehensive account of different classes of multi-component systems to realise emission tuning in organic crystals is provided, including recent advances such as the development of hetero-structures through epitaxial growth and hydrogen-bonded frameworks (HOFs), in addition to doping and co-crystallization. Finally, a concise summary and future outlook on the scope of crystal engineering intervention for the design of next-generation organic crystalline emissive materials are provided. This perspective highlights the significance of crystal engineering intervention in the design and development of applied optical materials.

In order to quickly realize the composite optical axis stabilization, this article develops a RTX-based Rapid Control Prototyping (RCP) system. The composite optical axis stabilization consists of inertial and optical-mechanical image stabilization, by reasonably decomposing the control range of which, the stabilization accuracy of the optical axis is improved. The RTX shared memory technology is used to separate the real-time domain from the non-real-time domain, realizing the real-time control and communication of each controller, and effectively improving the control bandwidth of the system. Experimental test shows that the real-time performance of the RCP platform meets the requirements, achieving functions such as the identification, control and testing of the composite optical axis stabilization system. Due to the generic design, the RCP platform is able to support subsequent control systems of the same type.
