Thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) based integrated photonic devices have been intensively investigated due to their promising properties, enabling various on-chip applications. Grating couplers (GCs) are wildly used for their flexibility and high alignment tolerance for fiber-to-chip coupling. However, achieving high coupling efficiency (CE) in TFLN GCs often requires the use of reflectors, hybrid materials, or extremely narrow linewidths of the grating arrays, which significantly increases the fabrication difficulty. Therefore, there is a demand for high-CE GCs on TFLN with simple structure and easy fabrication processes. In this paper, combining process capabilities, we demonstrate a highly efficient apodized GC by linearly optimizing the period length and the fill factor on a 600-nm-thick TFLN platform. Without any reflector or hybrid material, we achieve a remarkable coupling loss of -2.97 dB at 1555 nm on the 600-nm-thick X-cut TFLN platform with only a single lithography and etching step. Our work sets a new benchmark for CE among GCs on the 600-nm-thick TFLN platform.
基于铌酸锂薄膜(TFLN)的集成光子器件具有良好的性能,可实现各种片上应用,因此受到了广泛的研究。光栅耦合器(GC)因其光纤到芯片耦合的灵活性和高对准容差而被广泛使用。然而,要在 TFLN 光栅耦合器中实现高耦合效率(CE),通常需要使用反射器、混合材料或极窄线宽的光栅阵列,这大大增加了制造难度。因此,人们需要结构简单、制造工艺容易的 TFLN 高能效 GC。在本文中,我们结合工艺能力,在 600 纳米厚的 TFLN 平台上通过线性优化周期长度和填充因子,展示了一种高效的光栅化 GC。在没有任何反射器或混合材料的情况下,我们在 600 纳米厚的 X 切 TFLN 平台上实现了 1555 纳米波长下 -2.97 dB 的出色耦合损耗,而且只需一个光刻和蚀刻步骤。我们的工作为 600 纳米厚 TFLN 平台上 GC 的 CE 树立了新的基准。

We present a new, to the best of our knowledge, method to simulate diffraction images accounting for both coherent and incoherent effects, based on the Wigner distribution function of the exit wave. This permits the simulation of wave and particle effects simultaneously and simulates images photon by photon. It is motivated by artifacts observed in x ray phase-contrast images after phase retrieval, present as noise in the low spatial frequency range, which can make analysis of such images challenging. Classical simulations have so far not been able to reproduce these artifacts. We hypothesize that these artifacts are due to incoherent scatter present in the images, hence the interest in developing a simulator that permits the simulation of both diffraction and incoherent scattering. Here, we give a first demonstration of the method by simulating the Gaussian double-slit experiment. We demonstrate the capability of combining diffraction and incoherent scattering, as well as simulating images for any propagation distance.
据我们所知,我们提出了一种新方法,根据出口波的维格纳分布函数来模拟衍射图像,同时考虑相干和非相干效应。这种方法可以同时模拟波和粒子效应,并逐个光子地模拟图像。其动机是在相位检索后的 X 射线相位对比图像中观察到的伪影,这些伪影在低空间频率范围内表现为噪声,这使得对此类图像的分析具有挑战性。迄今为止,经典模拟无法再现这些伪影。我们假设这些伪影是由于图像中存在的非相干散射造成的,因此我们有兴趣开发一种能同时模拟衍射和非相干散射的模拟器。在这里,我们通过模拟高斯双缝实验首次展示了这种方法。我们展示了结合衍射和非相干散射以及模拟任何传播距离的图像的能力。

We propose that a transition from positive optical torque (OT) to negative OT occurs in a dipolar nanoparticle subjected to a simple optical field composed of two circularly polarized plane waves. This phenomenon can be observed in a phase-change nanoparticle comprising insulating and metallic phases. The analytical expression based on the multipole expansion theory reveals that the positive OT in the metallic phase originates from the electric response during light-matter interaction. However, in the insulating phase, the magnetic response is excited, leading to a significant negative OT due to the contribution of the magnetic field-magnetic dipole interaction. It is noted that the phenomenon of reversible transverse OT is robust to the angle between two constituent plane waves, ensuring its practical application.
我们提出,在由两个圆偏振平面波组成的简单光场作用下,双极性纳米粒子会发生从正光学转矩(OT)到负光学转矩(OT)的转变。这种现象可以在由绝缘相和金属相组成的相变纳米粒子中观察到。基于多极扩展理论的分析表达式显示,金属相中的正 OT 源自光与物质相互作用过程中的电响应。然而,在绝缘相中,磁响应被激发,由于磁场-磁偶极子相互作用的贡献,导致了显著的负OT。值得注意的是,可逆横向 OT 现象对两个组成平面波之间的角度具有稳健性,确保了其实际应用。

We have demonstrated the capability of spectral multiplexing in multi-distance diffractive imaging, enabling the reconstruction of samples with diverse spectral responses. While previous methods such as ptychography utilize redundancy in radial diffraction data to achieve information multiplexing, they typically require capturing a substantial amount of diffraction data. In contrast, our approach effectively harnesses the redundancy information in axial diffraction data. This significantly reduces the amount of diffraction data required and relaxes the stringent requirements on optical path stability.

In this paper, we propose bifocal lenses based on bilayer structures composed of a liquid crystal (LC) cell and LC polymer, and the relative intensity of two foci can be adjusted arbitrarily through applying an external voltage. Two LC layers have different light modulation functions: when circularly polarized light passes through the first layer, part of the outgoing light is converted with PB phase modulation and another part is not converted; followed by the second layer, PB modulation of these two parts would be simultaneously realized but with opposite signs; thus the transmitted left- and right-handed circularly polarized (LCP and RCP) light can be independently controlled. As proof-of-concept examples, longitudinal and transverse bifocal lenses are designed to split an incident LCP light into two convergent beams with orthogonal helicity, and the position of the two foci can be flexibly arranged. Benefitting from the electrically controlled polarization conversion efficiency (PCE) of the LC cell, the relative intensity of the two foci can be adjusted arbitrarily. Experimental results agree well with theoretical calculations. Besides, a broadband polarization and an edge imaging system based on the proposed bifocal LC lenses have also been demonstrated. This paper presents a simple method to design a functional multilayer LC device and the proposed bifocal lenses may have potentials in the optical interconnection, biological imaging, and optical computing.

A novel, to the best of our knowledge, electro-optical modulation method is proposed for measuring third-order intermodulation distortion of photodetectors (PDs) based on de-coupling and de-embedding modulation distortion of modulators. The method utilizes dual parallel intensity modulation to generate electro-optical stimulus signals with fast and fine sweeping capability, and it eliminates the nonlinear impact of modulators by using low-frequency bias swing, allowing a direct extraction of the third-order output intercept point (OIP3) of PD from the combined nonlinear response contributed by both the modulators and the PD. The OIP3 of PD is frequency-swept measured with our method and compared to those with the conventional method to check for consistency. The proposed method enables a modulator-distortion-free, fast, and fine sweeping measurement of PDs using a simple system.

Fast steering mirrors (FSMs) offer a potential alternative for large-range deflection of light beams. However, for a large-stroke FSM, its pointing precision is unacceptably deteriorated due to the actuator non-uniformity, mechanical axis coupling, and the coupling of line-of-sight (LOS) kinematics. This Letter proposes a comprehensive beam-pointing algorithm by decoupling the LOS kinematic model and establishing a two-dimensional correction mapping to compensate for the non-uniformity and mechanical coupling. Moreover, the incident angle is calibrated by a non-contact method to construct the LOS kinematic model accurately. The experimental results proved that the beam-pointing accuracy can achieve a sub-milliradian level within the square field of regard (FOR) of ±25° horizontally and ±14° vertically. A pointing error of 0.87 mrad can be guaranteed within the horizontal range of -30° to 36° and the vertical range of ±24°. Therefore, the proposed method can achieve high-precision beam pointing in a large FOR and contributes to the miniaturization of optical systems.
快速转向镜(FSM)为光束的大范围偏转提供了一种潜在的替代方案。然而,对于大行程 FSM 而言,由于致动器的不均匀性、机械轴耦合以及视线(LOS)运动学的耦合,其指向精度会出现不可接受的恶化。本信通过解耦 LOS 运动学模型和建立二维校正映射来补偿非均匀性和机械耦合,从而提出了一种全面的光束指向算法。此外,还采用非接触方法校准入射角,以准确构建 LOS 运动学模型。实验结果证明,在水平方向为±25°、垂直方向为±14°的正方形视场(FOR)内,光束指向精度可达到亚毫米级。在水平方向 -30° 至 36° 和垂直方向 ±24° 范围内,可保证 0.87 mrad 的指向误差。因此,所提出的方法可以在较大的 FOR 范围内实现高精度光束指向,有助于实现光学系统的小型化。

Lithium niobate (LN) is an excellent nonlinear optical material due to its large nonlinear coefficient, low loss, and broad optical transparency window. So, it is widely used in the generation of nonlinear harmonics. Magnetic toroidal dipole (MTD) resonance is a special optical resonance mode, which can effectively localize the light field inside the device, thus enhancing the nonlinear effects of the materials. In this work, we numerically study the second-harmonic generation (SHG) effect of the LN metasurface based on the MTD mode with a high quality factor (Q-factor). The designed LN nanorod dimer metasurface supports high Q-factor MTD guided mode resonances (GMRs), which are excited by varying the center spacing of the two nanorods, and the Q-factor can be controlled by the offset distance. The excited MTD can effectively confine the electric field within the device, which enables the LN metasurface SHG conversion efficiency to reach 1.15 × 10-2. In addition, by adjusting the structural parameters, it is possible to effectively modulate the wavelength and conversion efficiency of the SHG. Our results provide a new route for high-quality nonlinear light sources.

The surface properties of target substrates are crucial for the in situ crystallization and growth of metal halide perovskite films fabricated by the anti-solvent method. In this work, a high-quality quasi-2D perovskite film with various-n phases is fabricated on the commonly used poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) by introducing a branched polyethylenimine (PEI) modifying layer. PEI suppresses the influence of acidic surface of the PEDOT:PSS and regulates the components of the perovskite film, increasing the proportion of large-n phases. Additionally, PEI reduces the formation of defects in perovskite films, leading to higher photoluminescence quantum efficiency and longer photoluminescence lifetime. Based on this high-quality perovskite film, a flexible light-emitting diode with an ultimate current efficiency of 63.2 cd/A is achieved, nearly twofold higher than that of the device (35.1 cd/A) without a PEI modifying layer.

The surging growth in data traffic has necessitated the development of higher-speed, lower-latency intensity modulation and direct detection (IM/DD) passive optical networks (PONs) with higher power budgets. To address the inherent limitations of traditional silica-based solid-core fibers, anti-resonant hollow-core fibers have garnered significant attention from both academia and industry. In this Letter, we present an experimental demonstration of 100 Gb/s PAM-4 IM/DD PON transmission over a 20 km anti-resonant hollow-core fiber in the C band, utilizing low-complexity digital signal processing (DSP). The result achieves a record high power budget of 42.5 dB, facilitated by a 3-tap weighted lookup table (LUT) at the optical line terminal (OLT) side and a semiconductor optical amplifier used as a preamplifier at the optical network unit (ONU) side. This represents the highest power budget reported for IM/DD PON to date, to the best of our knowledge, and offers a promising alternative for the future evolution of PON systems.
