摘要： Searching multiple types of terahertz (THz) irradiation source is crucial for the THz technology. Here, by utilizing a two-dimensional (2D) ferromagnetic Cr2Ge2Te6 crystal, we firstly demonstrate a magneto-tunable monochromatic THz irradiation source. With a low-photonic-energy broadband THz pump, a strong THz irradiation with frequency ~0.9 THz and bandwidth ~0.25 THz can be generated and its conversion efficiency could even reach 2.1% at 160 K. Moreover, it is intriguing to find that such monochromatic THz irradiation can be efficiently modulated by the magnetic field below 160 K. According to both experimental and theoretical analyses, the emergent THz irradiation is identified as the emission from the phonon-polariton and its temperature and magnetic field dependent behaviors confirmed the large spin-lattice coupling in this 2D ferromagnetic crystal. These observations provide a new route for the creation of tunable monochromatic THz source which may have great practical interests in future applications in photonic and spintronic devices.

摘要： Scattering of light in complex media scrambles optical wavefronts and breaks the principles of conventional imaging methods. For decades, researchers have endeavored to conquer the problem by inventing approaches such as adaptive optics, iterative wavefront shaping, and transmission matrix measurement. That said, imaging through/into thick scattering media remains challenging to date. With the rapid development of computing power, deep learning has been introduced and shown potentials to reconstruct target information through complex media or from rough surfaces. But it also fails once coming to optically thick media where ballistic photons become negligible. Here, instead of treating deep learning only as an image extraction method, whose best-selling advantage is to avoid complicate physical models, we exploit it as a tool to explore the underlying physical principles. By adjusting the weights of ballistic and scattered photons through a random phasemask, it is found that although deep learning can extract images from both scattered and ballistic light, the mechanisms are different: scattering may function as an encryption key and decryption from scattered light is key sensitive, while extraction from ballistic light is stable. Based on this finding, it is hypothesized and experimentally confirmed that the foundation of the generalization capability of trained neural networks for different diffusers can trace back to the contribution of ballistic photons, even though their weights of photon counting in detection are not that significant. Moreover, the study may pave an avenue for using deep learning as a probe in exploring the unknown physical principles in various fields.

摘要： A channel should be built to transmit information from one place to another. Imaging is 2 or higher dimensional information communication. Conventionally, an imaging channel comprises a lens and free spaces of its both sides. The transfer function of each part is known; thus, the response of a conventional imaging channel is known as well. Replacing the lens with a scattering layer, the image can still be extracted from the detection plane. That is to say, the scattering medium reconstructs the channel for imaging. Aided by deep learning, we find that different from the lens there are different channels in a scattering medium, i.e., the same scattering medium can construct different channels to match different manners of source encoding. Moreover, we found that without a valid channel the convolution law for a shift-invariant system, i.e., the output is the convolution of its point spread function (PSF) and the input object, is broken, and information cannot be transmitted onto the detection plane. In other words, valid channels are essential to transmit image information through even a shift-invariant system.
