100 THz optical switching with plasmonic metamaterial by Venkatram, Nalla, Stefano, Vezzol, João, Valente, Sun, Handong, Nikolay, Zheludev

“…In coherent perfect absorption, the interference of two counter-propagating coherent beams on a highly absorbing material of sub- wavelength thickness can either lead to nearly total transmission or to nearly total absorption of the incident light, depending on their mutual intensity and phase.1 A device based on coherent absorption has the advantage of being compact, fast, and intrinsically low power while demonstrating large modulations of light. …”

Secure image encryption based on an ideal new nonlinear discrete dynamical system by Lin, M. Rongming, Ng, Teng Yong

“…Extensive numerical experiment results have revealed that the proposed image encryption algorithm offers advantages of unlimited key space and high-level security, since those problematic periodic windows are no longer present within the key space, and it is extremely robust against known-plain-text attack, since the chaotic sequence generated bears no correlation whatsoever due to the folding effect of modulo operation. …”
