• Abstract: We experimentally demonstrate the in-situ characterization of optical micro/nano fibers (MNFs).The MNF (test fiber, TF) is positioned on a microfiber (probe fiber, PF) and simulated for the scattering loss at various PF and TF diameters. The TF is fabricated using chemical etching technique. The PF is a conventional single-mode fiber with an outer diameter of 125 um. We measure the scattering loss along the TF axis at various positions i.e. diameters by mounting it on the PF. The diameter profile of the TF is inferred from the measured scattering loss and correlated with its surface morphology measurement. This work demonstrates an effective, low-cost, and non-destructive method for in-situ characterization of fabricated micro/nano fibers (OMNFs). It can detect and determine the irregularities on the surface of OMNFs. It can also be used to quantify the local evanescent field. Detecting such local points can improve studies that are carried out using these fields in various sensing and related study domains. It is simple to implement and can be accessed by all domains of researchers.

  Recent approaches show a correlation between Raman signals and particle sizes but do not determine polymer size from Raman measurements accurately and reliably. We propose three alternative machine learning to perform this task, all involving diffusion maps, alternating diffusion maps, and conformal autoencoder networks. The conformal autoencoders substantially outperform state-of-the-art methods and results for the first time in a promising prediction of polymer size from Raman spectra.

  We investigate the Casimir-Lifshitz force (CLF) between two identical graphene strip gratings. We take into account the high-order electromagnetic diffractions, the multiple scattering and the exact 2D feature of the graphene strips. We show that the non-additivity, which is one of the most interesting features of the CLF in general, is significantly high and can be modulated in situ.

Multiple stationary states of the FPI cavity field with different spectra are possible at realistic conditions, for example, in the FPI with the photonic crystal cavity and the semiconductor-doped glass nonlinear medium.

  Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF) is a widely-used data analysis technique, and has yielded impressive results in many real-world tasks. In this study, an Entropy Minimizing Matrix Factorization framework (EMMF) is developed to tackle the above problem. Considering that the outliers are usually much less than the normal samples, a new entropy loss function is established for matrix factorization.
