Intelligent voice interaction offers a flexible and powerful way to connect individuals with smart devices beyond our expectations. The real-time nature of voice communication enables smart devices to comprehend the user language, execute the corresponding instructions, and facilitate seamless communications, transforming our lives in unprecedented ways. Owing to self-adaptive and reprogrammable functionalities, information metasurface (IMS) opens up a new avenue for smart home and smart cities. To further enhance the intelligence of IMS, we propose an IMS system via intelligent voice interaction and information processing. The voice interaction enables the efficient remote control on the IMS in a flexible, convenient, touchless manner. Leveraging speech recognition, speech synthesis, target detection, and communication technologies, the IMS system achieves automatic beam manipulation capabilities for wireless information transmissions and wireless power transfers. The IMS system is designed to operate in two distinct modes: instruction mode, wherein the user instructs the operations, and autonomous mode, wherein the automatic detections govern the actions, in which seamless mode switching through the voice commands is supported. Users can flexibly achieve precise control over the functions of the intelligent metasurface system through voice interaction at a distance, without the need for close-range manual touch control, which greatly simplifies the operation difficulty and is particularly suitable for remote control and complex application scenarios. A series of experiments, including wireless video transmissions and wireless power transfers are conducted to demonstrate the flexibility and convenience of the IMS system. The incorporation of intelligent voice interaction technology with the IMS presents a novel paradigm for the applications of programmable and information metasurfaces.
智能语音交互为个人与智能设备之间的联系提供了一种灵活而强大的方式,超出了我们的预期。语音通信的实时性使智能设备能够理解用户语言、执行相应指令并促进无缝通信,从而以前所未有的方式改变我们的生活。由于具有自适应和可重新编程的功能,信息元表面(IMS)为智能家居和智能城市开辟了一条新途径。为了进一步增强 IMS 的智能性,我们提出了一种通过智能语音交互和信息处理实现的 IMS 系统。语音交互以灵活、便捷、无接触的方式实现了对 IMS 的高效远程控制。借助语音识别、语音合成、目标检测和通信技术,IMS 系统实现了无线信息传输和无线功率传输的自动波束操纵功能。IMS 系统设计为两种不同的操作模式:指令模式和自主模式,前者由用户发出操作指令,后者由自动检测控制操作,并支持通过语音指令进行无缝模式切换。用户可以通过语音交互灵活地实现对智能元面系统功能的远距离精确控制,而无需近距离手动触控,大大简化了操作难度,尤其适用于远程控制和复杂的应用场景。通过无线视频传输、无线电力传输等一系列实验,展示了 IMS 系统的灵活性和便捷性。智能语音交互技术与 IMS 的结合为可编程信息元表面的应用提供了一种新的范例。

Signal processing based on stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) is limited by the narrow linewidth of the optoacoustic response, which confines many Brillouin applications to continuous wave signals or optical pulses longer than several nanoseconds. In this work, we experimentally demonstrate Brillouin interactions at the 150 ps time scale and a delay for a record 15 ns which corresponds to a delay of 100 pulse widths. This breakthrough experimental result was enabled by the high local gain of the chalcogenide waveguides as the optoacoustic interaction length reduces with pulse width. We successfully transfer 150 ps-long pulses to traveling acoustic waves within a Brillouin-based memory setup. The information encoded in the optical pulses is stored for 15 ns in the acoustic field. We show the retrieval of eight amplitude levels, multiple consecutive pulses, and low distortion in pulse shape. The extension of Brillouin-based storage to the ultra-short pulse regime is an important step for the realization of practical Brillouin-based delay lines and other optical processing applications.
基于受激布里渊散射(SBS)的信号处理受限于光声响应的窄线宽,这使得许多布里渊应用局限于连续波信号或长度超过数纳秒的光脉冲。在这项工作中,我们通过实验证明了布里渊相互作用的时间尺度为 150 ps,延迟时间为创纪录的 15 ns,相当于 100 个脉冲宽度的延迟时间。这一突破性的实验结果得益于卤化铝波导的高局部增益,因为光声相互作用长度随着脉冲宽度的减小而减小。我们成功地在基于布里渊的存储装置中将 150 ps 长的脉冲传输到行进声波中。光脉冲中编码的信息在声场中存储了 15 毫微秒。我们展示了八个振幅级别、多个连续脉冲和低失真脉冲形状的检索。将基于布里渊的存储技术扩展到超短脉冲系统是实现基于布里渊的实用延迟线和其他光学处理应用的重要一步。

Coupled nanolasers are of growing interest for on-chip optical computation and data transmission, which requires an understanding of how lasers interact to form complex systems. The non-Hermitian interaction between two coupled resonators, when excited selectively, can lead to parity-time symmetry, the formation of exceptional points, and subsequently spectral control and increased sensitivity. These investigations have been limited to pump energies close to the lasing threshold, and large or narrow-line lasers. Here, by programmable optical excitation we study two coupled nanolasers significantly above threshold, where mode instability plays an important role. We map the mode evolution around two exceptional points, and observe lasing gaps due to reversed pump dependence which compare well with non-linear theory. Finally, the coupling can be exploited to control the lasing threshold and wavelength, and for frequency switching around the lasing gap. Controlled and integrated nanolasers constitutes a promising platform for future highly sensitive and programmable on-chip laser sources.
耦合纳米激光器在片上光学计算和数据传输方面的应用日益受到关注,这需要了解激光器如何相互作用形成复杂的系统。两个耦合谐振器之间的非赫米提交互作用在选择性激发时,可导致奇偶时对称性、特殊点的形成,进而实现光谱控制并提高灵敏度。这些研究仅限于接近激光阈值的泵浦能量以及大型或窄线激光器。在这里,我们通过可编程光激励研究了两个明显高于阈值的耦合纳米激光器,其中模式不稳定性发挥了重要作用。我们绘制了两个例外点周围的模式演变图,并观察到由于反向泵浦依赖性而产生的激光间隙,这与非线性理论有很好的对比。最后,可以利用耦合来控制激光阈值和波长,并在激光间隙周围进行频率切换。受控集成纳米激光器为未来高灵敏度和可编程片上激光源提供了一个前景广阔的平台。

Quantitative phase imaging with a compact meta-microscope 利用紧凑型元显微镜进行定量相位成像

Quantitative phase imaging (QPI) based on the transport-of-intensity equation (TIE) is a powerful technique in label-free microscopy. The image stack required for a successful TIE-QPI is traditionally obtained by translating the object or image plane, and the optical elements used in the conventional TIE-QPI systems are usually bulky and cumbersome. Stable and compact TIE-QPI methods capable of non-motion optical zooming can significantly facilitate applications that demand portability. Here, we propose a non-motion TIE-QPI method based on a dispersive metalens. The dispersive nature of the metalens is utilized to provide a spectral focal tuning. With fixed object and image planes, seven through-focus intensity images are captured by changing the illumination wavelength. The QPI performance is validated by retrieving the surface phase profiles of a microlens array and a phase resolution target, showing a high phase detection accuracy (deviation less than 0.03 wavelength). Subsequently, we established a compact meta-microscope by integrating the metalens with a commercially available CMOS image sensor, which shows good performance in microscopic imaging of unstained bio-samples. Our approach, based on the large-dispersive metalens, facilitates a compact and robust QPI system for optical metrology and label-free microscopy.
基于强度传输方程(TIE)的定量相位成像(QPI)是一种强大的无标记显微镜技术。成功的 TIE-QPI 所需的图像堆栈传统上是通过平移物体或图像平面来获得的,而传统 TIE-QPI 系统中使用的光学元件通常笨重而累赘。能够实现非运动光学变焦的稳定而紧凑的 TIE-QPI 方法可极大地促进要求便携性的应用。在此,我们提出了一种基于色散金属膜的非运动 TIE-QPI 方法。我们利用金属膜的色散特性来提供光谱焦点调谐。在物体和图像平面固定的情况下,通过改变照明波长可以捕捉到七幅通过焦点的强度图像。通过检索微透镜阵列和相位分辨目标的表面相位轮廓,验证了 QPI 的性能,显示出较高的相位检测精度(偏差小于 0.03 波长)。随后,我们将金属传感器与市售的 CMOS 图像传感器集成在一起,建立了一个紧凑的元显微镜,在对未染色的生物样本进行显微成像时显示出良好的性能。我们的方法以大色散金属膜为基础,有助于为光学计量和无标记显微镜设计一个紧凑、坚固的 QPI 系统。

Particle entanglement is a fundamental resource upon which are based many quantum technologies. In this Article, we introduce a new source of entangled photons based on Resonance Fluorescence delivering photon pairs as a superposition of vacuum and the Bell state $$leftvert {{{Phi }}}^{-}rightrangle$$ . Our proposal relies on the emission from the satellite peaks of a two-level system driven by a strong off-resonant laser, whose intensity controls the frequencies of the entangled photons. Notably, such a frequency tuning can be done without decreasing the degree of entanglement between the photons and, unlike current technologies, the intensity of our source can be increased without the risk of spoiling the signal by including higher-order processes into the emission. Finally, we illustrate the power of our novel source by exciting an ubiquitous condensed-matter system, namely exciton-polaritons, and show that they are left in a maximally entangled steady state.
粒子纠缠是许多量子技术赖以生存的基础资源。在这篇文章中,我们介绍了一种新的纠缠光子源,它基于共振荧光,将光子对作为真空和贝尔态的叠加$$leftvert {{{Phi }}}^{-}rightrangle$$ 。我们的建议依赖于由强非共振激光驱动的两级系统卫星峰的发射,其强度控制着纠缠光子的频率。值得注意的是,这种频率调整可以在不降低光子之间纠缠程度的情况下完成,而且与现有技术不同,我们的光源强度可以增加,而不会因为发射中包含高阶过程而破坏信号。最后,我们通过激发一个无处不在的凝聚态系统(即激子-极化子)来说明我们这种新型光源的威力,并证明它们处于最大纠缠稳态。

Single photon detection is important for a wide range of low-light applications, including quantum information processing, spectroscopy, and light detection and ranging (LiDAR). A key challenge in these applications has been to integrate single-photon detection capability into photonic circuits for the realization of complex photonic microsystems. Short-wavelength (λ < 1.1 μm) integrated photonics platforms that use silicon (Si) as photodetectors offer the opportunity to achieve single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) that operate at or near room temperature. Here, we report the first waveguide-coupled Si SPAD. The device is monolithically integrated in a Si photonic platform and operates in the visible spectrum. The device exhibited a single photon detection efficiency of >6% for wavelengths of 488 and 532 nm with an excess voltage of <20% of the breakdown voltage. The dark count rate was below 100 kHz at room temperature, with the possibility of improving by approximately 35% by reducing the temperature to −5 °C.

Coincidence imaging for Jones matrix with a deep-learning approach 采用深度学习方法对琼斯矩阵进行重合成像

Coincidence measurement has become an emerging technique for optical imaging. Based on measuring the second-order coherence g2, sample features such as reflection/transmission amplitude and phase delay can be extracted with developed algorithms pixel-by-pixel. However, an accurate measurement of g2 requires a substantial number of collected photons which becomes difficult under low-light conditions. Here, we propose a deep-learning approach for Jones matrix imaging using photon arrival data directly. A variational autoencoder (β-VAE) is trained using numerical data in an unsupervised manner to obtain a minimal data representation, which can be transformed into an image with little effort. We demonstrate as few as 88 photons collected per pixel on average to extract a Jones matrix image, with accuracy surpassing previous semi-analytic algorithms derived from g2. Our approach not only automates formulating imaging algorithms but can also assess the sufficiency of information from a designed experimental procedure, which can be useful in equipment or algorithm designs for a wide range of imaging applications.
相干测量已成为光学成像的一项新兴技术。在测量二阶相干性 g2 的基础上,可以利用开发的算法逐像素提取反射/透射振幅和相位延迟等样本特征。然而,精确测量 g2 需要收集大量光子,这在弱光条件下变得十分困难。在这里,我们提出了一种直接使用光子到达数据进行琼斯矩阵成像的深度学习方法。使用数值数据以无监督的方式训练变异自动编码器(β-VAE),以获得最小的数据表示,只需很少的努力就能将其转换为图像。我们展示了平均每个像素只需收集 88 个光子就能提取出琼斯矩阵图像,其准确性超过了以前从 g2 衍生出的半解析算法。我们的方法不仅能自动制定成像算法,还能评估从设计的实验程序中获得的信息是否充分,这对各种成像应用的设备或算法设计非常有用。

Based on measuring the second-order coherence g2, sample features such as reflection/transmission amplitude and phase delay can be extracted with developed algorithms pixel-by-pixel. However, an accurate measurement of g2 requires a substantial number of collected photons which becomes difficult under low-light conditions. Here, we propose a deep-learning approach for Jones matrix imaging using photon arrival data directly. A variational autoencoder (β-VAE) is trained using numerical data in an unsupervised manner to obtain a minimal data representation, which can be transformed into an image with little effort.
