FDS: Frequency-Aware Denoising Score for Text-Guided Latent Diffusion Image Editing

Zicong Jiang, Sabine Süsstrunk, Tong Zhang, Yufan Ren

Text-guided image editing using Text-to-Image (T2I) models often fails to yield satisfactory results, frequently introducing unintended modifications, such as the loss of local detail and color changes. In this paper, we analyze these failure cases and att ...

Integrated chirped photonic-crystal cavities in gallium phosphide for broadband soliton generation

Tobias Kippenberg, Johann Emmeram Riemensberger, Miles Henry Anderson, Nikolai Kuznetsov, Alisa Davydova

Chirped mirrors have underpinned advances in ultra-fast lasers based on bulk optics but have yet to be fully exploited in integrated photonics, where they could provide a means to engineer otherwise unattainable dispersion profiles for a range of nonlinear ...

Space-time wave packets with reduced divergence and tunable group velocity generated in free space after multi-mode fiber propagation

Tobias Kippenberg, Maxim Karpov

Previously, space-time wave packets (STWPs) have been gen-erated in free space with reduced diffraction and a tunable group velocity by combining multiple frequency comb lines each carrying a single Bessel mode with a unique wave num-ber. It might be poten ...
