We review the physics and some applications of photonic structures designed for the realization of strong nonlinear chiroptical response. We pay much attention to the recent strategy of utilizing different types of optical resonances in metallic and dielectric subwavelength structures and metasurfaces, including surface plasmon resonances, Mie resonances, lattice-guided modes, and bound states in the continuum. We summarize earlier results and discuss more recent developments for achieving large circular dichroism combined with the high efficiency of nonlinear harmonic generation.

Abstract. A silicon-based digitally tunable positive/negative dispersion controller (DC) is proposed and realized for the first time using the cascaded bidirectional chirped multimode waveguide gratings (CMWGs), achieving positive and negative dispersion by switching the light propagation direction. A 1 × 2 Mach–Zehnder switch (MZS) and a 2 × 1 MZS are placed before and after to route the light path for realizing positive/negative switching. The device has Q stages of identical bidirectional CMWGs with a binary sequence. Thus the digital tuning is convenient and scalable, and the total dispersion accumulated by all the stages can be tuned digitally from − ( 2Q − 1 ) D0 to ( 2Q − 1 ) D0 with a step of D0 by controlling the switching states of all 2 × 2 MZSs, where D0 is the dispersion provided by a single bidirectional CMWG unit. Finally, a digitally tunable positive/negative DC with Q = 4 is designed and fabricated. These CMWGs are designed with a 4-mm-long grating section, enabling the dispersion D0 of about 4.16 ps / nm in a 20-nm-wide bandwidth. The dispersion is tuned from −61.53 to 63.77 ps / nm by switching all MZSs appropriately, and the corresponding group delay is varied from −1021 to 1037 ps.

Improving the spatial resolution of a fluorescence microscope has been an ongoing challenge in the imaging community. To address this challenge, a variety of approaches have been taken, ranging from instrumentation development to image postprocessing. An example of the latter is deconvolution, where images are numerically deblurred based on a knowledge of the microscope point spread function. However, deconvolution can easily lead to noise-amplification artifacts. Deblurring by postprocessing can also lead to negativities or fail to conserve local linearity between sample and image. We describe here a simple image deblurring algorithm based on pixel reassignment that inherently avoids such artifacts and can be applied to general microscope modalities and fluorophore types. Our algorithm helps distinguish nearby fluorophores, even when these are separated by distances smaller than the conventional resolution limit, helping facilitate, for example, the application of single-molecule localization microscopy in dense samples. We demonstrate the versatility and performance of our algorithm under a variety of imaging conditions.

Holographic imaging poses significant challenges when facing real-time disturbances introduced by dynamic environments. The existing deep-learning methods for holographic imaging often depend solely on the specific condition based on the given data distributions, thus hindering their generalization across multiple scenes. One critical problem is how to guarantee the alignment between any given downstream tasks and pretrained models. We analyze the physical mechanism of image degradation caused by turbulence and innovatively propose a swin transformer-based method, termed train-with-coherence-swin (TWC-Swin) transformer, which uses spatial coherence (SC) as an adaptable physical prior information to precisely align image restoration tasks in the arbitrary turbulent scene. The light-processing system (LPR) we designed enables manipulation of SC and simulation of any turbulence. Qualitative and quantitative evaluations demonstrate that the TWC-Swin method presents superiority over traditional convolution frameworks and realizes image restoration under various turbulences, which suggests its robustness, powerful generalization capabilities, and adaptability to unknown environments. Our research reveals the significance of physical prior information in the optical intersection and provides an effective solution for model-to-tasks alignment schemes, which will help to unlock the full potential of deep learning for all-weather optical imaging across terrestrial, marine, and aerial domains.

We propose a terahertz (THz) vortex emitter that utilizes a high-resistance silicon resonator to generate vortex beams with various topological charges. Addressing the challenge of double circular polarization superposition resulting from the high refractive index contrast, we regulate the transverse spin state through a newly designed second-order grating partially etched on the waveguide’s top side. The reflected wave can be received directly by a linearly polarized antenna, simplifying the process. Benefiting from the tuning feature, a joint detection method involving positive and negative topological charges identifies and detects rotational Doppler effects amid robust micro-Doppler interference signals. This emitter can be used for the rotational velocity measurement of an on-axis spinning object, achieving an impressive maximum speed error rate of ∼2 % . This approach holds promise for the future development of THz vortex beam applications in radar target detection and countermeasure systems, given its low cost and potential for mass production.
