The generation of multicolor (523, 605, 637, and 719 nm) optical quasiparticles (bimerons and skyrmions with topologically protected polarization textures) from a diode-pumped Pr3+-doped fluoro-aluminate glass (Pr3+: WPFG) fiber simply with intra-cavity plano-convex lens and wedge-plate and without any wavefront control elements, such as a spatial light modulator is demonstrated. This robust and cost-saving system efficiently produces Bloch-, Néel-, and anti-quasiparticles with high mode purity. In particular, the green optical quasiparticles will have the potential to explore many applications in materials science and biotechnologies.

Benefitting from the mature, cost‐effective, and scalable manufacturing capabilities of complementary metal‐oxide‐semiconductor (CMOS) technology, silicon photonics has facilitated the seamless and monolithic integration of diverse functionalities, including optical sources, modulators, and photodetectors. Microresonators can generate multiple coherent optical frequency comb lines and serve as optical sources. However, at the telecom band, silicon suffers from two‐photon absorption and free‐carrier absorption, which severely hampers the realization of microcombs from a single silicon chip at telecom wavelengths until now. In this paper, a novel approach is presented and demonstrated with near‐infrared dual‐band frequency combs from a multimode silicon resonator. With a single pumping configuration, dual‐band combs are generated from the interaction between the pump and Raman Stokes fields by involving two different optical mode families but with similar group velocities. It is observed that the pump power required to generate dual‐band combs is as low as 0.7 mW. The work in bringing telecom microcombs to the silicon platform will advance silicon photonics for the next generation of monolithically integrated technology based on a single silicon chip, enabling new possibilities for further exploring silicon photonics‐based applications in optical telecommunications, sensing, and quantum metrology in the telecom band using a monolithic single silicon chip.

3D Nanolithography via Holographic Multi-Focus Metalens
In article number 2400181, Xinger Wang, Hui Gao, Wei Xiong, and co-workers propose a metasurface-based two-photon polymerization technique. A metasurface is introduced into 3D nanolithography for the first time, resulting in the construction of a miniaturized and simplified two-photon lithography system that achieves efficient multi-focus parallel processing with high uniformity. It is believed that the utilization of the metasurface will provide a novel two-photon lithography operating platform, enabling richer and more flexible printing functionalities while maintaining system miniaturization and low cost.
