In this study, we developed a high-resolution (3 arcsec, approximately 90 m) VS map and associated open-access dataset for the 140 km × 200 km region affected by the January 2025 M6.8 Dingri Xizang, China earthquake. This map provides a significantly finer resolution compared to existing VS maps, wh...

When the amplitude of the laser Doppler signal is less than that of the noise amplitude, the speed information cannot be identified. In this paper, the recognition of weak Doppler signals is accomplished by superimposing multiple-frame Doppler signals in the frequency domain and eliminating the base...

We theoretically propose an ultracompact large-dynamic-range dual-parameter sensor using a broad free spectral range (FSR) multimode photonic crystal nanobeam cavity (MM-PCNC). In the multimode regime, each resonant mode is exploited as an independent sensing channel. Broad FSR (&gt;100 nm) is a...
