Wafer-scale monolithic integration of Ce:YIG films and magneto-optical isolators on silicon

Silicon integrated cerium doped yttrium iron garnet (Ce:YIG) thin films are promising candidates for integrated nonreciprocal photonic devices, cryogenic photonic modulators and optical computing applications. However, previously reported Ce:YIG thin film on silicon is limited to milimeter sizes. Wafer-scale integration and non-destructive characterization of high quality Ce:YIG thin films on silicon has been elusive. Here, we report growth of 4-inch wafer-scale Ce:YIG thin films on silicon substrates by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering. Strong Faraday effect of 2318 deg/cm, low propagation loss of 80 dB/cm and excellent thickness uniformity of 3.5% is demonstrated across the 4-inch silicon wafer. Furthermore, a custom designed wafer-scale, non-destructive magneto-ellipsometry was established to characterize the film thickness, optical constants and magneto-optical constants across the wafer. Wafer-scale integration of ring resonator type magneto-optical isolators are also demonstrated. Our work demonstrates a step forward toward wafer-scale heterogeneous integration and characterization of magneto-optical thin films on silicon, providing material candidates for non-reciprocal photonic device arrays, magneto-optical in-memory computing networks and integrated magneto-optic magnetometers.

VisionLLM-based Multimodal Fusion Network for Glottic Carcinoma Early Detection

The early detection of glottic carcinoma is critical for improving patient outcomes, as it enables timely intervention, preserves vocal function, and significantly reduces the risk of tumor progression and metastasis. However, the similarity in morphology between glottic carcinoma and vocal cord dysplasia results in suboptimal detection accuracy. To address this issue, we propose a vision large language model-based (VisionLLM-based) multimodal fusion network for glottic carcinoma detection, known as MMGC-Net. By integrating image and text modalities, multimodal models can capture complementary information, leading to more accurate and robust predictions. In this paper, we collect a private real glottic carcinoma dataset named SYSU1H from the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, with 5,799 image-text pairs. We leverage an image encoder and additional Q-Former to extract vision embeddings and the Large Language Model Meta AI (Llama3) to obtain text embeddings. These modalities are then integrated through a laryngeal feature fusion block, enabling a comprehensive integration of image and text features, thereby improving the glottic carcinoma identification performance. Extensive experiments on the SYSU1H dataset demonstrate that MMGC-Net can achieve state-of-the-art performance, which is superior to previous multimodal models.

Text-Driven Tumor Synthesis

Tumor synthesis can generate examples that AI often misses or over-detects, improving AI performance by training on these challenging cases. However, existing synthesis methods, which are typically unconditional -- generating images from random variables -- or conditioned only by tumor shapes, lack controllability over specific tumor characteristics such as texture, heterogeneity, boundaries, and pathology type. As a result, the generated tumors may be overly similar or duplicates of existing training data, failing to effectively address AI's weaknesses. We propose a new text-driven tumor synthesis approach, termed TextoMorph, that provides textual control over tumor characteristics. This is particularly beneficial for examples that confuse the AI the most, such as early tumor detection (increasing Sensitivity by +8.5%), tumor segmentation for precise radiotherapy (increasing DSC by +6.3%), and classification between benign and malignant tumors (improving Sensitivity by +8.2%). By incorporating text mined from radiology reports into the synthesis process, we increase the variability and controllability of the synthetic tumors to target AI's failure cases more precisely. Moreover, TextoMorph uses contrastive learning across different texts and CT scans, significantly reducing dependence on scarce image-report pairs (only 141 pairs used in this study) by leveraging a large corpus of 34,035 radiology reports. Finally, we have developed rigorous tests to evaluate synthetic tumors, including Text-Driven Visual Turing Test and Radiomics Pattern Analysis, showing that our synthetic tumors is realistic and diverse in texture, heterogeneity, boundaries, and pathology.
