Summary: Magnetic fields can significantly affect electron motion in quantum materials. We have visualized the magnetic-field-tunable dispersion of propagating magnetoexciton polaritons in near-charge-neutral graphene. By imaging these collective modes and their associated nano-electro-optical responses, we have identified pronounced optical and photo-thermal electric effects at the sample edges, particularly near charge neutrality. Our nano-magneto-optics approach allows us to explore and manipulate magnetopolaritons in specimens with low carrier doping by utilizing high magnetic fields. The dispersion of Dirac magnetoexcitons in charge-neutral graphene has been directly imaged up to 7 T using a magneto cryogenic near-field microscope.

Summary: A silicon metasurface supporting electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) based on quasi-bound states in the continuum (qBIC) is proposed and demonstrated theoretically, showing sharp high-transmittance peaks within a low-transmittance spectral window. The metasurface, with its high quality factor qBIC resonances, can be used in biosensing applications due to its simple bulk geometry. The proposed metasurface's strong energy confinement and sharp EIT-effect have potential applications in nonlinear devices, lasing, biological sensors, optical trapping, and optical communications.

Summary: A wavelength-switchable L-band erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) has been achieved with the assistance of an artificially controlled backscattering (ACB) fiber reflector. The reflector was created through femtosecond laser direct writing on a multimode fiber, and its rotation angle was accurately controlled using a high-precision rotation mount. By rotating the mount, three different output spectra were obtained: a single wavelength lasing, a dual wavelength lasing, and another single wavelength lasing. The optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) for all spectra was around 60 dB at a pumping power of 300 mW.

Summary: Imaging fibers are used to perform real-time fluorescence endomicroscopy, in vivo, in situ, with the goal of increasing diagnostic information for a plethora of organ systems and diseases. Widefield fiber endomicroscopy systems are simple, cost-effective, and come with fast image acquisition times. However, alternative approaches such as scanning systems produce higher contrast images with intrinsic optical sectioning, improving the visibility of histological features, albeit at the expense of simplicity, cost, and acquisition rate. We developed a selective plane illumination microscopy endoscopic fiber platform, consisting of an ultrafast laser fabricated end-cap, integrated with a polymer coherent fiber bundle, and an epifluorescence microscope. Polymer fibers are known to fluoresce when pumped with blue light, enhancing the background and noise in images. Our end-cap design circumvents this challenge. We demonstrate a reduction of out-of-focus features, along with improved contrast of in-focus features, in images of a tissue phantom. Moreover, we demonstrate the utility of our platform for endomicroscopy using a whole, ex vivo human lung model.

Summary: We investigate a metasurface supporting a silicon-slot quasi-bound state in the continuum (qBIC) mode resonating in the near-infrared spectrum both theoretically and experimentally. The metasurface is composed of circular slots etched in a silicon layer on a sapphire substrate. By reducing the symmetry of the metasurface unit cell, we access the symmetry-protected mode and analyze its properties through finite-element full-wave and eigenfrequency analysis. The measured transmittance spectra confirm the excitation of the investigated qBIC mode with experimental quality factors exceeding 700. The resonant qBIC mode exhibits strong field confinement in the slots, leading to high sensitivity values for refractometry.

Summary: In fused silica, ultrafast laser assisted etching achieves high etching rates (>300 μm h(-1)) by adjusting the light polarisation. However, for non-planar surfaces and 3D structures, achieving dynamic polarisation control is difficult. In this study, a laser inscription regime is identified to achieve high etching rates independently of light polarisation. The capabilities of this processing are demonstrated through the fabrication of curved and square-wave microchannels, as well as a complex 3D geometrical structure.
