Atom-thin lens shows 30% modulation in focused light

A laboratory-made monolayer WSe2 lens reached about 9.3% nonlinear focusing efficiency, more than 150 times its linear value, while a control beam produced about 30% focal-signal modulation below 10 µJ/cm2. The work reports a sub-0.5-picosecond component and a roughly 10-picosecond component, but does not establish performance across multiple devices.

Preprint reports selective image recovery with passive optical decoding

A physics preprint describes an optical imaging scheme that couples an encoding parameter to a matching decoder. In its tested simulations and passive single-pixel experiment, matched decoding recovered target structure, while naive or mismatched decoding produced structured leakage; the paper does not provide a formal proof of unconditional security.

Preprint reports microscope that tracks ultrafast changes in molybdenum disulfide

An oscillator-driven femtosecond pump–probe system measured local optical dynamics in multilayer and monolayer MoS₂. The reported setup combined an estimated whole-spectrum time resolution below 100 fs with submicrometre spatial resolution and found different long-lived responses at the centre and edge of one monolayer flake.
