  abstract     = {{In this contribution, we address the estimation of the frequency-dependent elastic parameters of polymers in the ultrasound range, which is formulated as an inverse problem. This inverse problem is implemented as a nonlinear regression-type optimization problem, in which the simulation signals are fitted to the measurement signals. These signals consist of displacement responses in waveguides, focusing on hollow cylindrical geometries to enhance the simulation efficiency. To accelerate the optimization and reduce the number of model evaluations and wait times, we propose two novel methods. First, we introduce an adaptation of the Levenberg–Marquardt method derived from a geometrical interpretation of the least-squares optimization problem. Second, we introduce an improved objective function based on the autocorrelated envelopes of the measurement and simulation signals. Given that this study primarily relies on simulation data to quantify optimization convergence, we aggregate the expected ranges of realistic material parameters and derive their distributions to ensure the reproducibility of optimizations with proper measurements. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our objective function modification and step adaptation for various materials with isotropic material symmetry by comparing them with the Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–Shanno method. In all cases, our method reduces the total number of model evaluations, thereby shortening the time to identify the material parameters.}},

  abstract     = {{Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are becoming increasingly important across various sectors of the lighting industry and are being used more frequently. In the field of symbolic projection, research is increasingly focusing on implementing light modulation using energy-efficient, incoherent LEDs rather than lasers. Since light modulation in micro- and nano-optics is typically achieved through phase modulation, Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) simulations are employed for analysis. The objective of this article is to investigate different approaches for approximating incoherent monochromatic light sources within FDTD simulations. To this end, two approaches based on dipole sources are considered, as well as a method involving plane waves with modulated wavefronts based on Cosine–Fourier functions and a method based on the superposition of Gaussian beams. These methods are evaluated in terms of their accuracy using a two-dimensional double-slit configuration and are compared against a fully incoherent analytical reference.}},

We present a simple approach to synthesize phase-pure quasi-2D layered tin perovskite nanowires with varying quantum well thicknesses (n = 1 to 4). By incorporating a new organic spacer capable of forming a hydrogen-bonded organic framework, this method promoted anisotropic crystal growth and enhanced lattice rigidity. Furthermore, introducing molecular intercalants enabled controlled crystallization into well-defined nanowires that function as Fabry–Pérot cavities. Cavities made from n = 2 to 4 perovskites support efficient and robust near-infrared, room-temperature optically pumped lasing with the threshold as low as 75.8 μJ/cm2, cavity quality factor over 3000, and negligible degradation over 106 pulses. A cleaved coupled nanolaser was fabricated as a proof-of-concept device for photonic applications.}},

  abstract     = {{In diesem Forschungsprojekt wurde ein Messverfahren zur Bestimmung akustischer Materialparameter von Polymeren im Ultraschallfrequenzbereich entwickelt. Das Verfahrens sollte, die üblichen standardisierten Prüfmethoden erweitern, die bislang primär im quasistatischen oder niederfrequenten Bereich eingesetzt wurden. Im Gegensatz zu bestehenden Verfahren wie dem Zeitstandversuch oder der Dynamisch Mechanischen Analyse (DMA) nach [DIN6721] sollte die neue Methode eine nicht-invasive Charakterisierung der (visko-)elastischen Materialparameter im Frequenzbereich von 0,75 MHz bis 2,5 MHz ermöglichen. Das entwickelte Ultraschallmesssystem arbeitet nach dem Puls Echo-Prinzip und kann eine räumlich segmentierte, ringförmige Anregung erzeugen. Die Bestimmung der frequenzabhängigen Materialparameter geschieht hierbei über ein inverses Verfahren. Die Ergebnisse des Projekts zeigen, dass die Segmentierung der Anregung, die Geometrie der Probe sowie das Puls-Echo-Messprinzip die Messergebnisse sowie die Sensitivität gegenüber Scherparametern wesentlich beeinflussen. Im Rahmen des Projektes wurde auch eine statistische Auswertung des Optimierungsverfahrens hinsichtlich transversal-isotroper Materialsymmetrie mit Rayleigh-Dämpfung durchgeführt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass das entwickelte Verfahren gute Konvergenzeigenschaften aufweist und sich durch verbesserte Robustheit auszeichnet.}},

  abstract     = {{Abstract This study explores the usability and onboarding process of a Mixed Reality (MR) application called PEARL, designed to prepare students for laboratory work. Originally developed for mobile Augmented Reality (mAR), PEARL was adapted for MR to offer a more immersive and intuitive experience through hand and gesture controls. Since many students lack experience with MR devices, a user-friendly onboarding system is essential. The study aims to redesign PEARL’s user interface and onboarding experience, evaluating how intuitive interaction elements impact usability. First, a literature review will identify existing usability guidelines for MR applications, which will guide the redesign of the interface. This new version will then be tested with students through a user study. Feedback will be collected via an online survey to assess the onboarding and user experience, and the findings will be used to refine the design further. The expected outcome is an improved onboarding process and interface, making PEARL accessible even for MR novices, enhancing their ability to interact with 3D objects in a real-world setting. Ultimately, the study aims to provide best practices for developing intuitive MR interfaces and effective onboarding experiences, especially in educational contexts.}},

                  <jats:p>Optically assisted digital-to-analog converters (DACs) using Nyquist pulse sequences (NPSs) are presented and investigated. Therefore, NPSs are mathematically described and analyzed. Based on this, the operating principle of a precise optical Nyquist pulse synthesizer digital-to-analog converter (PONyDAC) is described. Possible architectures of PONyDAC are derived and compared in terms of performance and practicability. Moreover, the limits of PONyDAC systems and their superiority over classical electronic DACs are discussed. Furthermore, discrete building-block based implementations and monolithic implementations in electronic-photonic integrated circuits (EPICs) are presented. To enable a practicable monolithic integration, a shrinkage of the Mach-Zehnder modulators (MZMs) has been performed by applying forward-biased phase shifters (FB-PSs). These FB-PSs are analyzed and modeled to allow the precise and reliable design of PONyDAC systems with multiple MZMs. Finally, data conversion and data transmission experiments are carried out to demonstrate the systems functionality, quantify its performance, and prove their superiority over purely electronic DACs.</jats:p>}},
