A compact on-chip reconfigurable multichannel amplitude equalizer based on cascaded elliptical microrings is proposed and demonstrated *** the optimized structure of the elliptical microring with adiabatically varied radii/widths,the average excess loss for each channel in the initialized state is measured to be less than 0.5 d B,while the attenuation dynamic range can be over 20 d *** tunability through the overlapping of the resonance peaks of adjacent wavelength-channels enables even higher attenuation dynamic ranges up to50 d *** the thermo-optic effect and fine wavelength-tuning linearity,precise tuning of the resonance peak can be implemented,enabling dynamic power equalization of each wavelength-channel in wavelengthdivision-multiplexing(WDM)systems and optical frequency *** proposed architecture exhibits excellent scalability,which can facilitate the development of long-haul optical transport networks and high-capacity neuromorphic computing systems,while improving the overall performance of optical signals in WDM-related systems.

Lens-like vaterite CaCO3 microrings composed of CaCO3 nanoparticles were synthesized via a microemulsion-mediated route at room temperature with ethanol and n-hexanol as co-surfactant. This process did not demand any additional energy such as heating or continuous agitation. It was the first time to use ethanol as co-surfactant in the synthesis of micro or nanomaterials. And the ethanol was believed to play an important role in the aggregation fashion of CaCO3 nanoparticles. Moreover, shuttle-shaped nanorods, hexagonal nanoplates, and rice-like nanoparticles were also fabricated by modulating the growth parameters. Additionally, the introduce of ethanol into microemulsions as co-surfactant may be generalized as a novel green route to control the structure of other functional materials.
