Abstract

A high-fidelity optical fiber microphone (HF-OFM) with hybrid frequency and fast response is theoretically and experimentally demonstrated by the nanofabrication techniques for real-time communication, which consists of a graphene oxide (GO) film, an Au nanocoating, and an air cavity. The internal stress of the film is increased by the method of mechanical tensile preparation, and the microphone response flatness is improved. Meanwhile, the structural design of the 3 nm Au nanocoating improves the acoustic pressure detection sensitivity by 2.5 times by increasing the reflectivity. The experimental result shows that single, dual, and triple frequency acoustic signal detection in the frequency range of 0.1 kHz–20 kHz are achieved with acoustic pressure sensitivities of 9.64, 9.66, and 8.9 V/Pa, as well as flat frequency response (<2 dB variation). The minimum detectable pressure (MDP) at 1 kHz is 63.25 μPa/Hz 1/2 . In addition, the high-fidelity real-time transmission of audio signals over an angle range of −90° to 90° is verified by a self-made acoustic pressure detection device. Such a compact, high sensitivity, and large measurement range HF-OFM is very promising for applications of oil leakage exploration, acoustic source location, and real-time communication.

Balancing detectivity and sensitivity of plasmonic sensors with surface lattice resonance

Abstract

Resonators are at the core of optical sensors enhancing light–analyte interaction and leading to higher sensitivities. Maximizing the sensitivity is an obvious objective function for the resonator design. However, high sensitivity does not guarantee sufficient detectivity. When the optical energy budget is limited, as in sensors on mobile platforms, a higher sensitivity usually leads to lower detectivity for nanophotonic sensors. In such scenarios, resonator design requires balancing the trade-off between the sensitivity and detectivity of the resonant sensor. Here, we show the direct dependence of detectivity on the Q -factor and the trade-off between the Q -factor and sensitivity. We study this trade-off in an array of plasmonic resonators. We choose plasmonic resonators because of their high sensitivity arising from large local field enhancements. Then, we show that the detectivity of this sensor may be boosted for limited energy budget applications by making an array of resonators supporting a surface lattice resonance (SLR). We experimentally demonstrate sensing and detection of antimouse IgG protein in a gold nanodisk array–based SLR sensor for various energy budgets.

Switchable dual-mode nanolaser: mastering emission and invisibility through phase transition materials

Page range: 3729-3736

Abstract

The principle of detailed balance states that objects efficiently emitting radiation at a specific wavelength also efficiently absorb radiation at the same wavelength. This principle presents challenges for the design and performance of photonic devices, including solar cells, nanoantennas, and lasers. A design that successfully integrates the properties of an efficient emitter in one state and invisibility in another state is essential for various applications. In this work, we propose a novel nanolaser design based on a semiconductor nanoparticle with gain enveloped by a phase transition material that enables switching between lasing and cloaking (nonscattering) states at the same operating frequency without modifying the pumping conditions. We thoroughly investigate the operational characteristics of the nanolaser to ensure optimal performance. Our nanolaser design can function with both optical and electric pumping and exhibits the features of a thresholdless laser due to its high beta-factor and strong Purcell enhancement in the tightly confined Mie resonance mode. Additionally, we develop a reconfigurable metasurface comprising lasing-cloaking metaatoms capable of transitioning from lasing to a nonscattering state in a fully reversible manner.

Abstract

The ability to manipulate light propagation sets the foundations for optical communication and information processing systems. With the ever-growing data capacity and data rate, photonic integrated circuits have attracted increasing attentions of researchers owing to their large-volume integration capacity and fast operation speed. In this work, we proposed and experimentally demonstrated a new wavefront shaping method using waveguide arrays with hyperbolic secant refractive index profiles. Through theoretically analyzing the diffraction and coherence properties, we found that a single waveguide array can perform both imaging and phase transformation, which are the two primary functions of optical lenses. We further expanded this function and fabricated the corresponding devices on a silicon nitride waveguide platform. Deterministic beam shaping, such as focusing, expansion, collimation, and steering, is successfully realized. This wavefront control method exhibits the potential for on-chip optical routing, ranging, sensing, etc., with high integration density and scalability.

Abstract

The remarkable capability in regulating light polarization or amplitude at the nanoscale makes metasurface a leading candidate in high-resolution image display and optical encryption. Diverse binary or grayscale meta-images were previously shown concealed in a single metasurface, yet they are mostly stored at same encryption level and share an identical decryption key, running the risk of exposing all images once the key is disclosed. Here, we propose a twofold optical display and encryption scheme demonstrating that binary and grayscale meta-images can be concurrently embedded in a nonspatially multiplexed silicon metasurface, and their decryptions demand for drastically different keys. Unlike previous metasurfaces relying on isolated transmission or phase manipulations upon orthogonal linear polarization incidences, this is made possible by exploiting silicon meta-atoms featuring joint transmission amplitude and polarization control at two wavelengths. In detail, the selected two meta-atoms exhibit large polarization-independent transmission difference (∼85 %) at a wavelength of 800 nm, while functioning as the nano-quarter-wave plate at wavelength of 1200 nm. Through elaborate design in simulation, a binary image can be witnessed when the metasurface is merely illuminated by an unpolarized light of wavelength 800 nm or under white light illumination. However, a distinct binary or grayscale image will come into view by inspecting the metasurface with an analyzer and when the incident light is circularly polarized at the wavelength of 1200 nm. Two metasurface samples are fabricated and successfully verified the claims experimentally. The proposed approach is expected to bring new insights to the field of optical display and encryption.

Abstract

The dissipative Kerr soliton combs based on microresonators have attracted wide attention due to their high coherence and on-chip integration. Meanwhile, the soliton microcombs have shown broad applications in coherent communication, on-chip low-noise microwave synthesizer, optical clock, etc. However, the performance of these applications is typically limited by their bandwidth as the precise tuning of the soliton microcombs usually relies on the thermoelectric cooler, which is slow and may increase the system’s complexity. Here, we demonstrate the observation of dissipative solitons based on the magnesium fluoride resonator with an ultrahigh-quality ( Q ) factor of about 927 million. The ‘power-kicking’ scheme is employed to lock and stabilize the solitons actively. Also, tuning the acousto-optical modulator allows changing the bandwidth and recoil of the solitons. This approach enables more direct and concise feedback and reduces the system’s complexity.

Abstract

Metasurfaces with bound states in the continuum (BICs) have proven to be a powerful platform for drastically enhancing light–matter interactions, improving biosensing, and precisely manipulating near- and far-fields. However, engineering metasurfaces to provide an on-demand spectral and angular position for a BIC remains a prime challenge. A conventional solution involves a fine adjustment of geometrical parameters, requiring multiple time-consuming calculations. In this work, to circumvent such tedious processes, we develop a physics-inspired, inverse design method on all-dielectric metasurfaces for an on-demand spectral and angular position of a BIC. Our suggested method predicts the core–shell particles that constitute the unit cell of the metasurface, while considering practical limitations on geometry and available materials. Our method is based on a smart combination of a semi-analytical solution, for predicting the required dipolar Mie coefficients of the meta-atom, and a machine learning algorithm, for finding a practical design of the meta-atom that provides these Mie coefficients. Although our approach is exemplified in designing a metasurface sustaining a BIC, it can, also, be applied to many more objective functions. With that, we pave the way toward a general framework for the inverse design of metasurfaces in specific and nanophotonic structures in general.

Abstract

As an important means of modern science and technology, multiphoton fluorescence plays an essential role in high-resolution imaging, photochemistry, micro- and nano-processing and clinical diagnosis. Multiphoton fluorescence usually shares the same radiative channel as its intrinsic fluorescence. Under multiphoton excitation, except for red shift fluorescence caused by the reabsorption effect, gigantic blue shift of multiphoton fluorescence is rarely reported. In this work, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with 7-fold and 8-fold interpenetration are successfully synthesized. The synthesized 8-fold interpenetrated MOFs show unexpectedly giant blue-shifted (∼40 nm) two-photon–induced fluorescence compared with its fluorescence emission. Specific optical selection rules lead to different final transition states in one-photon absorption and two-photon absorption. The density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) simulations show that, under two-photon excitation, electrons and holes can be more delocalized, and intermolecular interactions mainly govern the emission process of 8-fold interpenetrated MOFs. Highly excited electronic states of the interpenetrated MOFs are effectively excited and emitted under two-photon excitation, thus generating the inevitable blue-shifted two-photon–induced fluorescence emission. Our work provides a guide for exploring the excitation mechanism of fluorescent MOFs and offers an access to a tunable all-optical single-crystal device.

Abstract

Scintillation-based X-ray imaging can provide convenient visual observation of absorption contrast by standard digital cameras, which is critical in a variety of science and engineering disciplines. More efficient scintillators and electronic postprocessing derived from neural networks are usually used to improve the quality of obtained images from the perspective of optical imaging and machine vision, respectively. Here, we propose to overcome the intrinsic separation of optical transmission process and electronic calculation process, integrating the imaging and postprocessing into one fused optical–electronic convolutional autoencoder network by affixing a designable optical convolutional metasurface to the scintillator. In this way, the convolutional autoencoder was directly connected to down-conversion process, and the optical information loss and training cost can be decreased simultaneously. We demonstrate that feature-specific enhancement of incoherent images is realized, which can apply to multi-class samples without additional data precollection. Hard X-ray experimental validations reveal the enhancement of textural features and regional features achieved by adjusting the optical metasurface, indicating a signal-to-noise ratio improvement of up to 11.2 dB. We anticipate that our framework will advance the fundamental understanding of X-ray imaging and prove to be useful for number recognition and bioimaging applications.

Topological degeneracy breaking in synthetic frequency lattice by Floquet engineering

Abstract

Synthetic frequency dimensions provide important opportunities to investigate novel topological phenomena. Previously, many theoretical proposals have been studied and relevant experiments have been performed very recently. However, all these works consider models in the weak modulation regime, where static lattice models are constructed. Here we explore a Floquet Su–Schrieffer–Heeger (SSH) model with time-dependent hoppings in the frequency dimension by dynamically modulating ring resonators ultrastrongly, and find that the topological states, originally degenerate in conventional SSH lattices, are separated in eigenenergies. There exists a series of edge states from band folding at the 0 and π energy bandgaps, which exhibit complex multi-frequency oscillations due to the inclusion of counter-rotating terms with higher order oscillation frequencies. Such a system with stronger modulations can widen the bandgap and therefore it provides an effective way to localize pulses in synthetic frequency dimensions. Our work shows a photonic platform with the synthetic dimension in exploring exotic Floquet topological phenomena and shows potential applications in optical storage and communications.

Coupled harmonic oscillators model with two connected point masses for application in photo-induced force microscopy

Abstract

To comprehensively describe the operation of photo-induced force microscopy (PiFM), we have developed a model based on coupled harmonic oscillators. This model features two point masses connected by massless elastic wires, offering greater intuitiveness compared to existing PiFM models. It simplifies these models into a unified theoretical framework. By solving the equations of motion using adjusted oscillator parameters, we have successfully replicated all dynamic features from previous theories. These features include resonance frequencies and shapes of eigenmodes, as well as the responses to various external forces in the two PiFM modes: direct coupling and sideband coupling. Furthermore, by integrating our model with a recently developed photo-induced thermal expansion force model, which covers both tip-enhanced and global expansions, we have managed to uncover the underlying physical mechanism responsible for the unique signal behaviors observed in sideband coupling mode, where the signal plot, as a function of sample thickness, unexpectedly exhibits a peak followed by a valley, rather than a proportionally increasing signal. Our study has the potential to enhance the comprehension of various other physical phenomena associated with PiFM in the future.

Abstract

We study linear and nonlinear higher-order topological insulators (HOTIs) based on waveguide arrays arranged into Sierpiński gasket and Sierpiński carpet structures, both of which have non-integer effective Hausdorff dimensionality. Such fractal structures possess different discrete rotational symmetries, but both lack transverse periodicity. Their characteristic feature is the existence of multiple internal edges and corners in their optical potential landscape, and the formal absence of an insulating bulk. Nevertheless, we show that a systematic geometric shift of the waveguides in the first generation of such fractal arrays, which affects the coupling strengths between sites of this building block as well as in subsequent structure generations, enables the formation of corner states of topological origin at the outer corners of the array. We find that, in contrast to HOTIs based on periodic arrays, Sierpiński gasket arrays always support topological corner states, irrespective of the direction of the shift of the waveguides, while in Sierpiński carpet structures, corner states emerge only for one direction of the waveguide shift. We also find families of corner solitons bifurcating from linear corner states of fractal structures that remain stable practically in the entire gap in which they form. These corner states can be efficiently excited by injecting Gaussian beams into the outer corner sites of the fractal arrays. Our results pave the way toward the investigation of nonlinear effects in topological insulators with non-integer dimensionality and enrich the variety of higher-order topological states.

Abstract

The research on terahertz wave manipulation based on metasurfaces has gradually deepened, and the number of functions or electromagnetic control dimensions in a single device is constantly increasing. For the spatial dimension of terahertz field regulation, its design degrees of freedom have been expanded from a single transverse plane to the propagation path. In this paper, we propose a novel circularly polarization multiplexed metasurface for dual channel terahertz wave transmission control. Based on the spatial integration of two heterogeneous meta-atoms, which are spin-decoupled and isotropic, respectively, there are four phase channels that can be used at the same time, thus achieving different switching between vector and scalar beams in different circularly polarization channels along the optical path. For linearly polarized wave incidence, the device exhibits conversion between different vector beams longitudinally. To control more electric field components, we combine focused wavefront design with vector or scalar fields and utilize the focusing induced spin–orbit coupling effect, then complex amplitude switching of longitudinal electric field components is obtained. This article extends the manipulation of terahertz waves along the propagation trajectory based on metasurface from single to dual channel for the first time, providing a reference for the design of multifunctional meta-device in terahertz band.
