Annular pupil confocal Brillouin–Raman microscopy for high spectral resolution multi-information mapping

Abstract

Brillouin–Raman combined confocal spectroscopy is a novel and powerful technique for providing non-contact and direct readout of the micro-regional chemical and mechanical properties of a material, and thus used in a broad range of applications, including material characterization in manufacturing and biological imaging. However, the inadequate spectral and spatial resolution restricts the further development of combined spectral technology. In this paper, an annular pupil confocal Brillouin–Raman microscopy (APCBRM) scheme is proposed to achieve high-spectral-resolution Brillouin spectral detection and high-lateral-resolution Brillouin, Raman, and 3D topography mapping. The use of an annular pupil significantly suppresses the spectral broadening caused by a high-numerical-aperture objective lens and compresses the full width at half maximum of the Brillouin spectrum by 22.1 %, effectively improving the Brillouin spectral resolution. In addition, the size of the excitation spot is compressed, and the lateral resolutions in Brillouin and Raman spectroscopy increased to about 353.2 nm and 347.1 nm, respectively. Thus, high lateral resolution and Brillouin spectral resolution are achieved simultaneously. Furthermore, the high-precision confocal focusing system based on reflected light realizes real-time focusing during scanning and three-dimensional topography mapping. These results demonstrate that APCBRM has excellent potential for applications in the fields of novel materials, precision machining, and biomedicine.

Diffractive light-trapping transparent electrodes using zero-order suppression

Abstract

A light-trapping transparent electrode design based on sub-surface binary dielectric gratings is introduced and demonstrated experimentally. The structure consists of metallic wires patterned with an array of silicon nanobeams. Optimization of the grating geometry achieves selective suppression of zero-order diffraction, while enabling redirection of incident light to an angle that exceeds critical angle of the local environment. Subsequent total-internal reflection allows recovery of light initially incident on the patterned metal wire. Experiments involving amorphous silicon gratings patterned on gold wires demonstrate a light-trapping efficiency exceeding 41 %. Modeling of crystalline silicon nanobeams on silver wires suggests that a shadowing loss reduction of 82 % is feasible. The achievement of a large shadowing reduction using a coplanar structure with high manufacturing tolerance and a polarization-insensitive optical response makes this design a promising candidate for integration in a wide range of real-world photonic devices.

Surface lattice resonances for beaming and outcoupling green μ LEDs emission

Page range: 3553-3562

Abstract

Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) exhibit a typical Lambertian emission, raising the need for secondary optics to tailor their emission depending on specific applications. Here, we introduce plasmonic metasurfaces to InGaN green emitting quantum wells for LEDs to control their far-field emission directionality and enhance the collection efficiency. The proposed mechanism is based on surface lattice resonances (SLRs) and relies on the near-field coupling between the InGaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) and periodic arrays of aluminum (Al) nanodisks. Fourier microscopy measurements reveal that the angular photoluminescence emission pattern depends on the lattice constant of the metasurfaces. We demonstrate that integrating Al metasurfaces in LED wafers can enhance the collected outcoupled light intensity by a factor of 5 compared to the same sample without metasurfaces. We have also performed numerical calculations of the far-field emission based on the reciprocity principle and obtained a very good agreement with the experimental data. The proposed approach controls the emission directionality without the need for secondary optics and it does not require post-etching of the GaN, which makes it a potential candidate to control and enhance the generated light from micro-LEDs.

Abstract

Using low-refractive-index metamaterials, we design a transmission-type radial-angular cylindrical vector beam generator. A high numerical aperture lens is constructed using an asymmetric meta-grating structure. The metamaterial vector beam generator and the meta-grating lens are physically cascaded to obtain the tight focusing characteristics of the vector light field. The vector beam generator module and the meta-lens module are prepared by 3D printing technology, and the near-field test has been carried out on the samples in the terahertz band. Using the physical cascading method, two modules are cascaded to construct a vector beam tight focusing device, and the focusing electric field distribution test has been carried out. The use of 3D printing technology for sample preparation further reduces the manufacturing difficulty and production cost, and ensures the realization of its design function on the basis of miniaturization and light weight, which provides the possibility for the research of tight focusing field regulation in the terahertz band.

Abstract

Highly reflective mirrors are indispensable components in a variety of state-of-the-art photonic devices. Typically used, bulky, multi-layered distributed Bragg (DBR) reflectors are limited to lattice-matched semiconductors or nonconductive dielectrics. Here, we introduce an inverted refractive index-contrast grating (ICG) as compact, single-layer alternative to DBR. In the ICG, a subwavelength one-dimensional grating made of a low-refractive-index material is implemented on a high-refractive-index cladding. Our numerical simulations show that the ICG provides nearly total optical power reflectance for the light incident from the side of the cladding whenever the refractive index of the grating exceeds 1.75, irrespective of the refractive index of the cladding. Additionally, the ICG enables polarization discrimination and phase tuning of the reflected and transmitted light, the property not achievable with the DBR. We experimentally demonstrate a proof-of-concept ICG fabricated according to the proposed design, using the technique of sub-µm 3D laser lithography in which thin stripes of IP-Dip photoresist are micro-printed on a Si cladding. This one-step method avoids laborious and often destructive etching-based procedures for grating structuration, making it possible to implement the grating on any arbitrary cladding material.

Abstract

The selective broadband absorption of solar radiation plays a crucial role in applying solar energy. However, despite being a decade-old technology, the rapid and precise designs of selective absorbers spanning from the solar spectrum to the infrared region remain a significant challenge. This work develops a high-performance design paradigm that combines deep learning and multi-objective double annealing algorithms to optimize multilayer nanostructures for maximizing solar spectral absorption and minimum infrared radiation. Based on deep learning design, we experimentally fabricate the designed absorber and demonstrate its photothermal effect under sunlight. The absorber exhibits exceptional absorption in the solar spectrum (calculated/measured = 0.98/0.94) and low average emissivity in the infrared region (calculated/measured = 0.08/0.19). This absorber has the potential to result in annual energy savings of up to 1743 kW h/m 2 in areas with abundant solar radiation resources. Our study opens a powerful design method to study solar-thermal energy harvesting and manipulation, which will facilitate for their broad applications in other engineering applications.

Abstract

Lithium niobate Mach–Zehnder modulators (MZMs) with compact footprint and fast electro-optics (EO) responses are highly demanded for the next-generation optical interconnect systems. Here, we demonstrate slow-light (SL) effect using a coupled Bragg resonator structure on the thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) platform, and an ultra-compact SL-MZM with length L of ∼370 μm is also constructed. The fabricated SL waveguides show a large optical passband width of ∼8 nm, an insertion loss of 2.9 dB, and a maximal optical group index of 7.50, corresponding to 3.4 times as large as that of regular TFLN rib waveguide. The fabricated SL-MZM exhibits a large EO bandwidth of >50 GHz in an operating wavelength band of ∼8 nm as well. High-speed OOK transmissions at data rates of 64 Gbit/s and 80 Gbit/s are successfully achieved. To our best knowledge, it is first time to build SL waveguides and compact SL-MZMs with large EO bandwidths of >50 GHz on the monolithic TFLN platform.

Abstract

Free-space nonreciprocal transmission is a crucial aspect of modern optics devices. The implementation of nonreciprocal optical devices through optical nonlinearity has been demonstrated. However, due to the weak nonlinearity of traditional materials, most self-biased nonreciprocal devices are heavily dependent on the high Q strong resonances. In general, these resonances are frequently polarization sensitive. In this work, we propose ultrathin optical metasurface embedding Kerr nonlinearities to achieve nonreciprocal transmission and optical bistability for free-space propagation based on symmetry-protected bound states in the continuum (BICs). Since the structure of the metasurface retains C 4ν symmetry, the symmetry-protected BIC is polarization-independent. It is also shown that the nonreciprocal intensity range could be largely tuned by the structure parameters. The demonstrated devices merge the field of nonreciprocity with ultrathin metasurface technologies making this design an exciting prospect for an optical switch, routing, and isolator with optimal performance.

Abstract

Conventional microscopy systems have limited depth of field, which often necessitates depth scanning techniques hindered by light scattering. Various techniques have been developed to address this challenge, but they have limited extended depth of field (EDOF) capabilities. To overcome this challenge, this study proposes an end-to-end optimization framework for building a computational EDOF microscope that combines a 4f microscopy optical setup incorporating learned optics at the Fourier plane and a post-processing deblurring neural network. Utilizing the end-to-end differentiable model, we present a systematic design methodology for computational EDOF microscopy based on the specific visualization requirements of the sample under examination. In particular, we demonstrate that the metasurface optics provides key advantages for extreme EDOF imaging conditions, where the extended DOF range is well beyond what is demonstrated in state of the art, achieving superior EDOF performance.

Polarization-independent achromatic Huygens’ metalens with large numerical aperture and broad bandwidth

Abstract

Achromatic lenses, which have the same focal length regardless of the illumination frequency, find strong applications in imaging, sensing, and communication systems. Making achromatic lenses with metasurfaces is highly desirable because they are flat, ultrathin, relatively light, and easily fabricable. However, existing metalenses experience combinations of limitations which include single polarization operation, narrow bandwidth, and small numerical aperture (NA). In this work, we propose a dual polarized, broadband and high NA achromatic metalens based on the Huygens’ metasurface. We use Huygens’ metasurface unit cells with three tunable resonances to realize a stable group delay over a large bandwidth, while also achieving high transparency and large phase tunability. With these cells, we construct a dual-polarized achromatic Huygens’ metalens with an NA of 0.64 that works from 22 to 26 GHz. Our achromatic metalens achieves diffraction-limited focusing with 2 % maximum focal length deviation and 70 % average focusing efficiency over a bandwidth of 16.7 %. Most key performance metrics for this lens surpass or are comparable with the best of previous metalenses. An achromatic metalens simultaneously achieving broad bandwidth, large NA, and polarization-independent operation will open wide-ranging opportunities for microwave and mm-wave imaging and communication applications.

Abstract

The unique optical properties of squaraine dyes make them promising for cancer phototheranostics, but the reported squaraines for in vivo treatments mainly rely on their photothermal effect, where monotherapy cannot achieve the desired therapeutic effect. Here we generated a type of squaraine capable of killing tumors through both photothermal and photodynamic effects. We optimized squaraine structure with selenium modulation and formulated it into nanoparticles that showed strong absorption of infrared light, negligible fluorescence, good photothermal conversion (66.6 %), and strong photodynamic effects even after several irradiation cycles. In addition, the nanoparticles could be tracked through their strong optoacoustic signal. In mice, the nanoparticles effectively accumulated in tumors and eliminated them upon irradiation, without causing adverse effects. Our work demonstrates the potential of selenium modulation of squaraine for precise cancer diagnosis and treatment through synergistic photothermal and photodynamic effects.

Abstract

Achieving high-efficient and low-power communication is pivotal yet very challenging in the emerging technologies. Unlike conventional backscatter communication system, we propose and demonstrate an amplitude-reconfigurable metasurface loaded with PIN diodes to build a front-back scattering communication transmitter, which features the exclusive advantages of full-space secondary modulation of the ambient signals with high energy utilization efficiency. Meanwhile, this device can eliminate the interference originated from the ambient source by polarization conversion in the transmission channel. At a modulation rate of 800 kbps and a distance of 80 m, our system can achieve distortion-free transmission of a picture with size of 200 × 200 pixels. In addition, multiple amplitude-shift-keying modulation is also realized by segmenting the metasurface to further increase the communication rate. Due to the advantages of high spectral efficiency and low energy consumption, this system can be widely used in future engineering applications for the internet of things, especially for smart home, agriculture environmental monitoring, wearable sensing and others.

Abstract

The generation of indistinguishable photons is a key requirement for solid-state quantum emitters as a viable source for applications in quantum technologies. Restricting the dimensions of the solid-state host to a size well below the wavelength of light emitted by a defect-center enables efficient external optical coupling, for example, for hybrid integration into photonic devices. However, stringent restrictions on the host dimensions result in severe limitations on the spectral properties reducing the indistinguishability of emitted photons. Here, we demonstrate two-photon interference from two negatively charged silicon-vacancy centers located in remote nanodiamonds. The Hong–Ou–Mandel interference efficiency reaches 61 % with a coalescence time window of 0.35 ns. We furthermore show a high yield of pairs of silicon-vacancy centers with indistinguishable optical transitions. Therefore, our work opens new paths in hybrid quantum technology based on indistinguishable single-photon emitters in nanodiamonds.

Abstract

The vertical electronic and optoelectronic devices based on 2D materials have shown great advantages over lateral devices, such as higher current density, faster switch speed, and superior short-channel control. However, it is difficult to fabricate vertical device with conventional metal deposition methods due to the aggressive process usually results in damage to the contact region. Here, we develop a simple and effective metal transfer technique and fabricate p-type and n-type WSe 2 transistors by using metals with different work functions and subsequently create a vertical WSe 2 transistors with a 18-nm-thick channel, which retain good gate coupling effect. Furthermore, a vertical WSe 2 photodiode is constructed with graphene and Pt as asymmetric van der Waals (vdW) contacts. The work-function difference between graphene and Pt generates a built-in electric filed, leading to a high current rectification over 10 5 . Under 405 nm laser illumination, the device exhibits excellent self-powered photodetection properties, including a high responsivity of 0.28 A W −1 , fast response speed of 24 μs, and large light on/off ratio exceeding 10 5 at zero bias, which surpass most of the vdW photodiodes. This work demonstrates that the metal transfer technique is a promising strategy for the construction of high-performance vertical optoelectronic devices.
