Amorphous materials are attractive candidates for fabricating the superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) due to their superior tolerance and scalability over crystalline niobium nitride. However, the reduced superconducting transition t
The optical system for detecting wake profiles based on laser backscattering by bubbles at 180 degrees is reported, in which the monostatic optical geometry is adopted and the power density estimation is used to process bubble scattering signal. The profi
In volume 2, issue 3 of Advanced Photonics, Lan et al. reveal that a split ring resonator (SPRR) can be used as a very efficient thermo-acoustic source compared to other configurations. This commentary provides a quick overview of the work and how
