Observation of Discrete 1D Solitons in an Optically Induced Lattice in Rubidium Atomic Vapor

ABSTRACT The manipulation of light in periodic structures is fundamental to the development of discrete photonics and provides a versatile platform for controlling light propagation in integrated and quantum photonic systems. This work reports the experimental observation of disc...

Defect engineering via post-annealing in Cu-doped ZnO thin films: Impact on optical and antibacterial performance

Copper-doped zinc oxide (ZnO:Cu) thin films were deposited by vacuum thermal evaporation then annealed at 300°C, 400°C, and 500°C in order to tailor defect states and surface-related functional properties. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed a transition from an amorphous structu...
