🔬 𝗦𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 🔬 ☀ 𝗠𝘆𝘁𝗵 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 - 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗺 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝘂𝗻𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻𝘀? ☀ Physical sunscreens containing metal oxide particles such as TiO₂ are essential for preventing sunburn and protecting our skin from harmful UV radiation. A common myth suggests that light scattering and reflection are the primary mechanisms behind the effectiveness of these sunscreens. However, a 2015 study led by Curtis Cole (see study link) experimentally demonstrated that metal oxide sunscreens protect the skin primarily through absorption, not by reflection or scattering, debunking this myth. While experimental data is conclusive, can we bypass elaborate experimental setups and use simple computer simulations to verify these findings? This week, we simulate the interaction of UV light with an agglomerate of TiO₂ nanoparticles as in the common sunscreen cream to understand its optical response and assess the mechanisms of its UV protection properties. Simulating particles much smaller than the target wavelength poses a challenge due to the high resolution needed to resolve their geometry accurately. We created a dense mesh around the nanoparticle agglomerate using Tidy3D’s mesh override feature and exceptional speed. Our results match the experiment very well and confirm that in the UV region, absorption is indeed the primary source of protection, with minimal contributions from reflection and scattering.

🌟 𝗣𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 🌟 Recently, a novel 𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗻-𝗼𝗻-𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗶𝗱𝗲 (𝗦𝗶𝗦𝗶𝗖) 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 for photonic integrated circuits has been developed by the researchers from 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙛𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙤𝙧 𝘼𝙡𝙚𝙭 𝙃𝙞𝙜𝙝’𝙨 𝙜𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙥 (https://lnkd.in/g2G6bu5V) at the University of Chicago. See the publication here: https://lnkd.in/gFVQgygA) This hybrid approach combines the maturity of Si photonics with the outstanding properties of SiC. It opens new possibilities for quantum and nonlinear photonic devices without difficult SiC microfabrication. This versatile platform could enable wafer-scale manufacturing of advanced photonic integrated circuits for quantum technologies, nonlinear optics, and more. This is an impressive step forward for integrated photonics! #IntegratedPhotonics #QuantumTechnology #SiliconCarbide #Nanofabrication

🌟 𝗦𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 🌟 This week, we're excited to showcase the impressive benefits of the 𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗘𝗠𝗘) 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲𝗿 for specific photonic design challenges! The multi-mode interference (MMI) coupler is a staple in integrated photonic circuits, celebrated for its versatility and straightforward fabrication. Typically used as power splitters and combiners, MMIs also excel in functions like multiplexing. Designing low-loss MMIs, including input and output tapered waveguides, can often become lengthy and complex. Using FDTD alone for optimization might pose computational hurdles. However, EME shines in these scenarios by handling mode propagation analytically throughout the entire multi-mode region. This makes optimizing the MMI's geometry - particularly its length - a breeze, as mode solving is only required once to gather all length responses. In a recent project, we demonstrated the design of an MMI-based NIR/MIR demultiplexer optimized using EME, with final verification via FDTD. This dual-solver approach maximizes efficiency, reduces costs, and ensures top-notch accuracy.
