We briefly review the ideas that have shaped modern optics and have led to various applications of light ranging from spectroscopy to astrophysics, and street lights to quantum communication. The review is primarily focused on the modern applications...
Enhancing light emission from perovskite nanocrystal (NC) films is essential in light-emitting devices, as their conventional stacks often restrict the escape of emitted light. This work addresses this challenge by employing a TiO$_2$ grating to enha...
In a recent continuous-variable quantum memory experiment, one quadrature of light pulse is directly uploaded by the light-atom coupling whereas complementary quadrature is obtained by homodyne measurement of the out-coupled light. Subsequently, in...
Lightweighting is a concept in the auto industry about building cars and trucks that are less heavy as a way to achieve better fuel efficiency, battery
Fast and accurate human pose estimation in PyTorch. Contains implementation of "Real-time 2D Multi-Person Pose Estimation on CPU: Lightweight OpenPose" paper. (⭐ 2231)
The lightweight division in mixed martial arts contains different weight classes: The UFC's lightweight division, which groups competitors within 146
a weight class in combat sports and rowing. The lightweight division is over 130 pounds (59 kilograms) and up to 135 pounds (61.2 kilograms) weight class
Satellite imaging of night light provides a global record of lighted development from 1992 to present. Not all settlements can be detected with night light, but the continuum of built environments where a rapidly growing majority of the population li...
We present an empirical method which uses visual band light curve shapes (LCS) to estimate the luminosity of type Ia supernovae (SN Ia). This method is first applied to a ``training set'' of 8 SN Ia light curves with independent distance estimates...

Several solutions for lightweight TTS have shown promising results. Still, they either rely on a hand-crafted design that reaches non-optimum size or use a neural architecture search but often suffer training costs. We present Nix-TTS, a lightweight...
Detection of quantum light in the presence of dark counts and background radiation noise is considered. The corresponding positive operator-valued measure is obtained and photocounts statistics of quantum light in the presence of noise is studied....
That the speed of light in free space is constant is a cornerstone of modern physics. However, light beams have finite transverse size, which leads to a modification of their wavevectors resulting in a change to their phase and group velocities. We s...
