Demonstrations of topological photonics have so far largely been confined to infrared wavelengths where imaging technology and access to low-dimensional quantum materials are both limited. Here, we designed and fabricated silicon nitride ring-resonator arrays to demonstrate photonic topological edge states at ∼780 nm. We observed edge states corresponding to the integer quantum Hall Hamiltonian with topological protection against fabrication disorder. This demonstration extends the concept of topological edge states to the near-visible regime and paves the way for nonlinear and non-Hermitian topological photonics with the rich library of near-visible quantum emitters.

We report the local crystallization of Y3Fe5O12 (YIG) thin films grown on Si substrates, and SOI waveguides by CO2 laser annealing (LA). The effect of laser power and oxygen pressure on the crystal structure of YIG films was systematically studied. Laser power dominated the YIG film crystallinity, while oxygen partial pressure during LA strongly influenced the crystal grain size and magnetic anisotropy. Fully crystallized YIG thin films with pure garnet phases were fabricated by LA. The refractive index n and extinction coefficient k were comparable to thin films fabricated by rapid thermal annealing (RTA). Propagation loss measured at 1550 nm wavelength on YIG/SOI waveguides and YIG/SiN ring resonators were comparable to RTA annealed films, promising device development for silicon photonics.

Erbium lanthanum titanate glasses were prepared by levitation melting for the spectroscopic study of ways to promote the mid-infrared fluorescence. Two series of heavily erbium doped glasses (15 wt%) were prepared with the addition of either Pr3+ or Nd3+ in amounts relative to Er3+ of 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2. Both ions quench the lower Er3+ laser level with the Pr3+ doing so more rapidly. Although high co-dopant concentrations result in higher energy transfer, as clearly evidenced in upconversion and downconversion fluorescence measurements, the mid-infrared lifetime also suffers a reduction and, therefore, a balance must be struck in the co-dopant concentration. Lifetime and spectral measurements indicate that, at a fixed relative co-dopant amount, Pr3+ is more effective than Nd3+ at removing the bottleneck of the Er3+4I13/2 level. Moreover, consideration of the lifetimes alongside the absorption data of the individual ions indicates that despite the large absorption cross-section of Nd3+ at 808 nm, the concentration needed to yield more absorbed power than utilizing direct 976 nm excitation of Er3+ results in unfavorable lifetimes of the mid-infrared transition. In the end, Pr3+ prevails as the superior co-dopant in terms of the effects on fluorescence lifetimes as well as potential laser system design considerations. In a unique self-doping approach, a reducing melt atmosphere of Ar instead of O2 creates a small fraction of Ti3+. In 5Er2O3-12La2O3-83TiO2 glass, the presence of Ti3+ quenches the 4I13/2 emission about 2.6 times more than the 4I11/2 when lifetimes are compared to an O2 melt environment. As an additional means of increasing the mid-infrared emission, the effect of temperature on the mid- and near- infrared lifetimes of a lightly doped lanthanum titanate composition is investigated between 77-300 K. The mid-infrared lifetime increases by ∼30% while the near-infrared lifetime increases by ∼10%, which suggests in addition to co-doping, active cooling of the gain media will further enhance performance.

Broadband high-efficiency diffraction gratings play a crucial role in the pulse stretcher and compressor of high-energy ultrafast lasers. Nevertheless, conventional grating manufacturing techniques, including mechanical ruling and holographic recording, face challenges in creating accurate blazed groove profiles necessary for the fabrication of broadband, high-efficiency mid-infrared gratings. In this work, we utilized combined electron-beam lithography and anisotropic wet etching technology to fabricate nearly perfect blazed grooves, producing high efficiency broadband mid-infrared (IR) grating for 4.3 µm 100 femtosecond laser. Global optimization was performed to achieve a design of > 90% efficiency over spectral range of 3.6 µm – 6.6 µm. Hybrid metal-dielectric coating (Au-Al2O3) is employed and optimized to minimize absorption and to enhance diffraction efficiency and laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT). Prototype gratings undergo testing at a desired application wavelengths of 4.3 µm in a tunable range of 0.2 µm, revealing that the optimal sample achieves a diffraction efficiency of 92%, closely approaching the theoretical value of 94.2%

In recent years, significant progress has been made in the development of magnet-less nonreciprocity using space-time modulation, both in electromagnetics and acoustics. This approach has so far resulted in a plethora of non-reciprocal devices, such as isolators and circulators, over different parts of the spectrum, for guided waves. On the other hand, very little work has been performed on non-reciprocal devices for waves propagating in free space, which can also have many practical applications. For example, it was shown theoretically that non-reciprocal scattering by a metasurface can be obtained if the surface-impedance operator is continuously modulated in space and time. However, the main challenge in the realization of such a metasurface is due to the high complexity required to modulate in space and time many sub-wavelength unit-cells of which the metasurface consists. In this paper, we show that spatiotemporally modulated metagratings can lead to strong nonreciprocal responses, even though they are based on electrically-large unit cells and use only three modulation domains. We specifically focus on wire metagratings loaded with time-modulated capacitances. We use the discrete-dipole approximation and an ad-hoc generalization of the theory of polarizability for time-modulated particles and demonstrate an effective non-reciprocal anomalous reflection (diffraction) with an efficient frequency conversion. Thus, our work opens a venue for a practical design and implementation of highly non-reciprocal magnet-less metasurfaces in electromagnetics and acoustics.

Structured illumination microscopy (SIM) achieves superresolution in fluorescence imaging through patterned illumination and computational image reconstruction, yet current methods require bulky, costly modulation optics and high-precision optical alignment, thus hindering the widespread implementation of SIM. To address this challenge, this work demonstrates how nano-optical metasurfaces, rationally designed to tailor the far-field optical wavefront at sub-wavelength dimensions, hold great potential as ultrathin, single-surface, all-optical wavefront modulators for SIM. We computationally demonstrate this principle with a multipolar-resonant metasurface composed of silicon nanostructures that generate versatile optical wavefronts in the far field upon variation of the polarization or angle of incident light. Algorithmic optimization is performed to identify the seven most suitable illumination patterns for SIM generated by the metasurface based on three key criteria. We quantitatively demonstrate that multipolar-resonant metasurface SIM (mrm-SIM) achieves resolution gain that is comparable to conventional methods by applying the seven optimal metasurface-generated wavefronts to simulated fluorescent objects and reconstructing the objects using proximal gradient descent. Notably, we show that mrm-SIM achieves these resolution gains with a far-field illumination pattern that circumvents complex equipment and alignment requirements of comparable methodologies. The work presented here paves the way for a metasurface-enabled experimental simplification of structured illumination microscopy.

There is growing interest in the refractive index of liquids beyond the visible and into the short-wave infrared (SWIR) for applications such as the study of liquid-core fibers and supercontinuum generation. However, most of the data reported are in the visible. For liquids with a wide transmission window in the SWIR region, refractive index data are sparse. We present a Rayleigh interferometry-based refractometer to characterize the refractive index relative to standard materials at seven different wavelengths (543.4, 632.8, 780, 973, 1064, 1550, and 1970 nm) at a temperature of ~ 21.3 ± 0.6 °C. We also show Sellmeier fits using our results juxtaposed with previously published data. Our data extends previous work to the SWIR.
