A novel fabrication technique for three-dimensional concave nanolens arrays

A novel facile technique is proposed for fabricating three-dimensional (3D) concave nanolens arrays on a silicon substrate. The technique leverages an inherent characteristic of the polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) resist during inductively c...

Ultrahigh-peak-power laser pulse compression by a double-smoothing grating compressor

Spatial intensity modulation in amplified laser beams, particularly hot spots, critically constrains attainable pulse peak power due to the damage threshold limitations of four-grating compressors. This study demonstrates that the double-sm...
