In 1948, Dennis Gabor proposed the concept of holography. After 75 years of development, holographic imaging has become a powerful tool for optical wavefront measurement, which has given fresh energy to physics, biology, and materials science. Scientists in China regard the process of holographic recording and reconstruction as a transformation between complex-domain and real-domain, and discuss the mathematics and physical principles of reconstruction. The multidisciplinary nature brings it to label-free biology, wavefront sensing, and semiconductor production.

Dispersive devices and broadband laser sources are central building blocks for modern optical communication and processing systems. Urgent and demanding requirements have been placed today on spectrum analysis of these devices, for ever-increasing spectral bandwidth and frequency resolution. Current spectrometers have limitations to address these requirements.

A team of scientists has unlocked the potential of 6G communications with a new polarisation multiplexer. Terahertz communications represent the next frontier in wireless technology, promising data transmission rates far exceeding current systems. By operating at terahertz frequencies, these systems can support unprecedented bandwidth, enabling ultra-fast wireless communication and data transfer. However, one of the significant challenges in terahertz communications is effectively managing and utilising the available spectrum. The team has developed the first ultra-wideband integrated terahertz polarisation (de)multiplexer implemented on a substrateless silicon base which they have successfully tested in the sub-terahertz J-band (220-330 GHz) for 6G communications and beyond.
