Near-IR and mid-IR (1.55 μm – 2 μm) silicon photonics devices on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform by Zhang, Zecen

“…Furthermore, the mid-infrared (MIR, 2-15 μm) band is also very crucial as many gases and molecules have unique absorption fingerprints in this regime. Hence there is enormous interest in practical realization of passive and optoelectronic devices operating in the MIR range, including optical sensing and environmental monitoring, free-space communications, bio-medical and thermal imaging. …”

Dynamics and stability of evaporating and condensing liquid layers by Wei, Tao

“…With the 1.5-sided model, a regular non-rupture stable pattern is found in the Rayleigh–Taylor unstable layer due to local evaporation and condensation in the diffusion-limited regime. This is in sharp contrast to the prediction of the one-sided model without the convective and diffusive effects of vapor, where local rupture always occurs in finite time. …”

Investigations into femtosecond laser hybrid manufacturing for 3D power sources by Tham, Nicholas Cheng Yang

“…A thermally localised laser graphitisation (LLG) regime can then be identified to achieve in-situ PG integration. …”
