The stabilized PBSs showed similar absorption and fluorescent properties at room temperature compared to natural PBSs and kept a steady F672/F580 value during more than 3 months of storage in 0.45 mol/L phosphate buffer （pH 6.8） or at low temperature at 77 K. The stabilized PBS migrated as a single band at mild PAGE and in 14-18 h of sucrose gradient centrifugation. All these characters indicated that the stabilized PBSs were stable, soluble, homogenous fluorescent particles with favorable spectroscopic features prepared under present conditions.展开更多

Previously most work was focused on symmetric DCs and little work was reported for asymmetric directional couplers （ADCs）. In recently years, silicon nanophotonie waveguides with ultra-high index contrast and ultra-small cross section have been developed very well and it has been shown that ADCs based on silicon-oninsulator （SOI） nanophotonic waveguides have some unique ability for polarization-selective coupling as well as mode-selective coupling, which are respectively very important for polarization-related systems and mode-division-mulitplexing systems. In this paper, a review is given for the recent progresses on silicon-based ADCs and the applications for power splitting, polarization beam splitting, as well as mode conversion/（de）multiplexing.展开更多
Separating lights into different, paths according to the polarization states while keeping their respective path's polarizations with high purification is keen for polarization multiplex in optical communications....Separating lights into different, paths according to the polarization states while keeping their respective path's polarizations with high purification is keen for polarization multiplex in optical communications. Metallic nanowire gratings with multi-slits in a period are proposed to achieve polarized beam splitters (PBSs) in reflection and diffraction. The setting of multi-slits largely reduces the reflection of photons with a transverse magnetific field via the plasmonic waveguiding effect, which leads to highly polarized output lights with extinction ratio larger than 20 dB in each channel. The proposed reflection/diffraction PBSs enrich the approaches to control the polarization states with the advantages of wide incident angles and flexible beam splitting angles.展开更多
