tunable narrowband spectral filtering across arbitrary optical wavebands is highly desirable in a plethora of applications, from chemical sensing and hyperspectral imaging to infrared astronomy. yet, the ability to reconfigure the optical properties, with full reversibility, of a solid-state large-area narrowband filte...
reversible optical tuning of gesbte phase-change metasurface spectral filters for mid-wave infrared imaging
we present the ancillary data and basic physical measurements for the galaxies in the alma large program to investigate c+ at early times (alpine) survey - the first large multiwavelength survey that aims at characterizing the gas and dust properties of 118 main-sequence galaxies at redshifts 4.4 < z < 5.9 via th...

two new imaging instruments, `alopeke and zorro, were designed, built, and commissioned at the gemini-north and gemini-south telescopes in 2018 and 2019, respectively. here we describe them and present the results from over a year of operation. the two identical instruments are based on the legacy of the dssi (differen...

the generation of temporal cavity solitons in microresonators results in coherent low-noise optical frequency combs that are critical for applications in spectroscopy, astronomy, navigation or telecommunications. breather solitons also form an important part of many different classes of nonlinear wave systems, manifest...
