Terahertz spectroscopy of quantum wells.

A collaboration between physicists in Japan and Germany applied terahertz emission spectroscopy to understand the 3D dynamics in quantum wells. Their non-contact, non-destructive method can be applied to assessing the ultrafast carrier dynamics, strain physics, phonon dynamics, and ultrafast dielectric responses at the local level in new materials.

Their work can be found in Advanced Optical Materials: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/adom.202100258

Improving optical fiberss.

Distortions in the signals passed through optical fibers are a massive challenge for modern communications infrastructure. University of Rochester researchers have devised a novel technique where pre-shaping the wave front and polarization of the optical signal reduces distortions during transmission.

The results can be viewed in Nature Communications: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-021-22071-w
