https://www.selleckchem.com/products/a2ti-2.html We propose and demonstrate experimentally tilted subwavelength grating (SWG) waveguide Bragg gratings (WBGs). By tilting the SWG segments and optimizing the duty cycle, we can achieve polarization-dependent tuning of the spectral response of the SWG WBG, namely, the spectral response of the fundamental transverse electric (TE) mode shifts toward shorter wavelengths, while that for the transverse magnetic (TM) mode remains almost unchanged. In particular, for tilting angles of 5° and 30°, we can obtain a blueshift in the Bragg wavelength of 7 and 35 nm for the TE mode, while the Bragg wavelength for the TM mode remains within 0.5 nm. The proposed tilted SWG WBGs provide a novel method to manage polarization and/or obtain polarization-dependent wavelength selectivity with integrated WBG devices.Underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) has great potential to provide higher data rates and lower time delay communication compared to radio frequency and acoustic counterparts. However, UWOC systems with wide bandwidths are subject to photon absorption and scattering, which result in severe energy loss for optical beams and inter-symbol interference. To overcome these issues, this Letter interprets the UWOC system as an autoencoder (AE), named UWOC-AE, which takes advantage of the double Gamma function approximating channel impulse response of underwater optical links to learn the channel characteristics. Thus, within the AE framework, the encoder and decoder can be optimized jointly. Experiments indicate that the proposed UWOC-AE can achieve superior performance with high data rates compared to existing techniques.A discrete-time probability model is proposed to predict the detection performance of the Geiger-mode avalanche photodiode array. This model is established by considering multiple influencing factors, and crosstalk is characterized in the form of a transition matrix during the modeling process. The verificat
