Resonant excitation of solid-state quantum emitters enables coherent control of quantum states and generation of coherent single photons, which are required for scalable quantum photonics applications. However, these systems can often decay to one or more intermediate dark states or spectrally jump, resulting in the lack of photons on resonance. Here, we present an optical co-excitation scheme which uses a weak non-resonant laser to reduce transitions to a dark state and amplify the photoluminescence from quantum emitters in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). Utilizing a two-laser repumping scheme, we achieve optically stable resonance fluorescence of hBN emitters and an overall increase of ON time by an order of magnitude compared to only resonant excitation. Our results are important for the deployment of atom-like defects in hBN as reliable building blocks for quantum photonic applications.
固体量子发射体的共振激发使量子态的相干控制和相干单光子的产生成为可能,这是可扩展量子光子学应用所必需的。然而,这些系统经常会衰减到一个或多个中间暗态或光谱跳变,导致共振光子的缺乏。在这里,我们提出了一种光学共激发方案,该方案使用弱非谐振激光来减少六方氮化硼(hBN)中量子发射体的暗态跃迁,并放大其光致发光。利用双激光泵浦方案,我们实现了hBN发射器的光学稳定共振荧光,并且与仅谐振激发相比,总体上增加了一个数量级的ON时间。我们的结果对于在hBN中部署原子样缺陷作为量子光子应用的可靠构建块具有重要意义。

Non-Hermitian systems have recently attracted significant attention in photonics. One of the hallmarks of these systems is the possibility of realizing asymmetric mode switching and omnipolarizer action through the dynamic encirclement of exceptional points (EP). Here, we offer a new perspective on the operating principle of these devices, and we theoretically show that asymmetric mode switching can be easily realized with the same performance and limitations, using simple configurations that emulate the physics involved in encircling EPs without the complexity of actual encirclement schemes. The proposed concept of 'encirclement emulators' may allow a better assessment of practical applications of non-Hermitian photonics.
近年来,非厄米系统在光子学领域引起了广泛的关注。这些系统的一个特点是可以通过异常点的动态包围实现非对称模式切换和全偏振作用。在这里,我们对这些器件的工作原理提供了一个新的视角,并且我们从理论上证明了非对称模式切换可以很容易地实现,具有相同的性能和限制,使用简单的配置来模拟包围EPs所涉及的物理,而不需要实际包围方案的复杂性。提出的“包围模拟器”概念可以更好地评估非厄米光子的实际应用。

We theoretically investigate ultrafast and nonlinear optical properties of graphite thin films based on first-principles time-dependent density functional theory. We first calculate electron dynamics in a unit cell of graphite under a strong pulsed electric field and explore the transient optical properties of graphite. It is shown that the optical response of graphite shows a sudden change from conducting to insulating phase at a certain intensity range of the applied electric field. It also appears as a saturable absorption, the saturation in the energy transfer from the electric field to electrons. We next investigate a light propagation in graphite thin films by solving coupled dynamics of the electrons and the electromagnetic fields simultaneously. It is observed that the saturable absorption manifests in the propagation with small attenuation in the spatial region where the electric field amplitude is about $4 sim 7 times 10^{-2}$ V/Angstrom.
基于第一性原理时致密度泛函理论,从理论上研究了石墨薄膜的超快和非线性光学特性。我们首先计算了在强脉冲电场作用下石墨单胞内的电子动力学,并探讨了石墨的瞬态光学性质。结果表明,在一定的外加电场强度范围内,石墨的光学响应由导电相位突然转变为绝缘相位。它也表现为可饱和吸收,即能量从电场转移到电子的饱和。接下来,我们通过同时求解电子和电磁场的耦合动力学来研究光在石墨薄膜中的传播。在电场振幅约为$4 sim 7 × 10^{-2}$ V/埃的空间区域内,传输过程中出现了可饱和吸收,衰减很小。

We report,to the best of our knowledge, the first observation of concentrating paraxial beams of light in a linear nondispersive medium. We have generated this intriguing class of light beams, recently predicted by one of us, in both one- and two-dimensional configurations. As we demonstrate in our experiments, these concentrating beams display unconventional features, such as the ability to strongly focus in the focal spot of a thin lens like a plane wave, while keeping their total energy finite.

Strong-field terahertz control of plasmon induced opacity in photoexcited metamaterial 光激发超材料中等离子体诱导不透明的强场太赫兹控制

A terahertz metamaterial consisting of radiative slot antennas and subradiant complementary split-ring resonators exhibits plasmon induced opacity in a narrow spectral range due to the destructive interference between the bright and dark modes of the coupled oscillators. Femtosecond optical excitations instantly quench the mode coupling and plasmon oscillations, injecting photocarriers into the metamaterial. The plasmon resonances in the coupled metamaterial are transiently restored by intense terahertz pulses. The strong terahertz fields induce intervalley scattering and interband tunneling of the photocarries, and achieve significant reduction of the photocarrier mobility. The ultrafast dynamics of the nonlinear THz interactions reveals intricate interplay between photocarriers and plasmon oscillations. The high-field THz control of the plasmon oscillations implies potential applications to ultrahigh-speed plasmonics.

Adaptive optics methods have long been used to perform complex light shaping at the output of a multimode fiber (MMF), with the specific aim of controlling the emitted beam in the near-field. Gaining control of other emission properties, including the far-field pattern and the phase of the generated beam, would open up the possibility for MMFs to act as miniaturized beam splitting, steering components and to implement phase-encoded imaging and sensing. In this study, we employ phase modulation at the input of a MMF to generate multiple, low divergence rays with controlled angles and phase, showing how wavefront engineering can enable beam steering and phase-encoded applications through MMFs.

We demonstrate the broadband operation of a switchable terahertz quarter-wave plate achieved with an active metasurface employing vanadium dioxide. For this purpose, we utilize anisotropically deformed checkerboard structures, which present broadband characteristics compatible with deep modulation. Moreover, the metasurface is integrated with a current injection circuit to achieve state switching; this injection circuit can also be employed to monitor the electric state of vanadium dioxide. We estimate the Stokes parameters derived from the experimental transmission spectra of the fabricated metasurface and confirm the helicity switching of circularly polarized waves near a designed frequency of 0.66THz. The relative bandwidth is evaluated as 0.52, which is 4.2 times broader than that in a previous study.

Generalization of the Circular Dichroism from Metallic Arrays That Support Bloch-Like Surface Plasmon Polaritons 支持类斑点表面等离子激元的金属阵列圆二色性的推广

The broken mirror symmetry in subwavelength photonic systems has manifested many interesting chiroptical effects such as optical rotation and circular dichroism. When such systems are placed periodically in a lattice form, in addition to intrinsic chirality, extrinsic chirality also takes part, and the overall effect depends not only on the basis and lattice but also the excitation configuration. Here, we study planar chiral nanohole arrays in square lattice that support Bloch-like surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) and clarify how the system geometry and the excitation contribute to circular dichroism. By using temporal coupled mode theory (CMT), the dissymmetry factor and the scattering matrix of the arrays are analytically formulated. Remarkably, we find the dissymmetry factor depends only on the coupling polarization angle and the in-coupling phase difference between the p- and s-polarizations. Besides, the upper limit of the dissymmetry factor at +/-2 can be reached simply by orienting the lattice of the arrays for properly exciting the Bloch-like SPPs and at the same time making the basis mimic two orthogonal and relatively displaced dipoles, demonstrating the interplay between extrinsic and intrinsic chirality. The models have been verified by numerical simulations and experiments, yielding the dissymmetry factors to be 1.82 and 1.55, respectively, from the proposed dual slot system.
亚波长光子系统的破镜对称性表现出许多有趣的旋光效应,如旋光性和圆二色性。当这样的体系周期性地以晶格形式放置时,除了固有手性外,外在手性也起作用,总体效果不仅取决于基和晶格,还取决于激发构型。在这里,我们研究了支持类布洛赫表面等离子激元(SPPs)的方形晶格平面手性纳米孔阵列,并阐明了系统几何形状和激发对圆二色性的影响。利用时间耦合模式理论(CMT),对阵列的不对称性因子和散射矩阵进行了解析表达式。值得注意的是,我们发现不对称因子仅取决于耦合极化角和p极化和s极化之间的耦合相位差。此外,不对称因子在+/-2处的上限可以简单地通过定向阵列晶格来适当地激发Bloch-like SPPs,同时使基模拟两个正交且相对位移的偶极子来达到,证明了外在手性和内在手性之间的相互作用。通过数值模拟和实验对模型进行了验证,得出双槽系统的不对称系数分别为1.82和1.55。

Sub-50  nm focusing of a 405  nm laser by hemispherical silicon nanolens 半球形硅纳米透镜对405 nm激光器的亚50 nm聚焦

In this work, we study the light focusing behaviors of sub-micron Si hemispherical nanolens in theory. Results show that the width and depth of the focus spot light at 405 nm can reach 42 nm (approximately {lambda}/10) and 20 nm ({lambda}/20), respectively. Theoretical analysis indicates that this nano-focusing phenomenon comes from two reasons, the high refractive index of Si and the sub-micro size of the lens which considerably decrease the influence of material losses. The focusing capability of Si nanolens is comparable with current EUV technique but with a low cost, providing an alternative approach towards super-resolution photolithography and optical microscopy.

Coherent phonon generation by optical pump-probe experiments has enabled the study of acoustic properties at the nanoscale in planar heterostructures, plasmonic resonators, micropillars and nanowires. Focalizing both pump and probe on the same spot of the sample is a critical part of pump-probe experiments. This is particularly relevant in the case of small objects. The main practical challenges for the actual implementation of this technique are: stability of the spatio-temporal overlap, reproducibility of the focalization and optical mode matching conditions. In this work, we solve these three challenges for the case of planar and micropillar optophononic cavities. We integrate the studied samples to single mode fibers lifting the need for focusing optics to excite and detect coherent acoustic phonons. The resulting excellent reflectivity contrast of at least 66% achieved in our samples allows us to observe stable coherent phonon signals over at least a full day and signals at extremely low excitation powers of 1uW. The monolithic sample structure is transportable and could provide a means to perform reproducible plug-and-play experiments.
利用光泵浦-探针实验产生相干声子,可以在纳米尺度上研究平面异质结构、等离子体谐振器、微柱和纳米线的声学特性。将泵和探针都聚焦在样品的同一点上是泵-探针实验的关键部分。这在小物体的情况下尤为重要。该技术在实际应用中面临的主要挑战是:时空重叠的稳定性、聚焦的可再现性和光模匹配条件。在这项工作中,我们解决了平面和微柱光声子腔的这三个挑战。我们将所研究的样品集成到单模光纤中,从而消除了聚焦光学来激发和检测相干声子的需要。在我们的样品中获得的至少66%的优异反射率对比度使我们能够在至少一整天的时间内观察稳定的相干声子信号,以及在极低的1w激发功率下观察信号。单片样品结构是可移动的,可以提供一种方法来执行可重复的即插即用实验。
