Abstract Full elements of second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) tensor can be completely characterized for an organic NLO crystal the first time. As-grown bulk N-benzyl-2-methyl-4-nitroaniline (BNA) was processed to expose (100) and (010) orientations with fine surfaces by using precision lathe diamond blade. Then, every five nonvanishing coefficient BNA determined quantitatively precisely crystals based on 1st-kind Maker fringe measurements. Our method makes it possible clarify uncertain...

Single-shot optical imaging based on ultrashort lasers has revealed nonrepetitive processes in subnanosecond timescales beyond the recording range of conventional high-speed cameras. However, nanosecond photography without sacrificing short exposure time and image quality is still missing because gap recordable between ultrafast electronic Here, we demonstrate ultrawide time-range using a spectrum circuit that produces interval-tunable pulse trains while keeping durations. We capture shock...

Integral Field Spectroscopy (IFS) is an observational method to obtain spatially resolved spectra over a specific field of view (FoV) in single exposure. In recent years, near-infrared IFS has gained importance observing objects with strong dust attenuation or at high redshift.

Therefore, we have developed (0.9-2.5 $\mathrm{\mu}$m) image-slicer type integral unit (IFU)...

The adherens junction (AJ) is an actin filament-anchoring junction. It plays a central role in epithelial morphogenesis through cadherin-based recognition and adhesion among cells. stability plasticity of AJs are required for the morphogenesis. An actin-binding α-catenin essential component cadherin-catenin complex functions as tension transducer that changes its conformation induces AJ development response to tension. Despite much progress understanding molecular mechanisms sensitivity...
