摘要：Constructions of synthetic lattices in photonics attract growingly attentions for exploring interesting physics beyond the geometric dimensionality, among which modulated ring resonator system has been proved as a powerful platform to create different kinds of connectivities between resonant modes along the synthetic frequency dimension with many theoretical proposals. Various experimental realizations are investigated in a single ring resonator, while building beyond simple synthetic lattices in multiple rings with different types remains lacking, which desires to be accomplished as an important step further. Here, we implement the experimental demonstration of generating the one-dimensional Lieb lattice along the frequency axis of light, realized in two coupled ring resonators while the larger ring undergoing dynamic modulation. Such synthetic photonic structure naturally exhibits the physics of flat band. We show that the time-resolved band structure read out from the drop-port output of the excited ring is the intensity projection of the band structure onto specific resonant mode in the synthetic momentum space, where gapless flat band, mode localization effect, and flat to non-flat band transition are observed in experiments and verified by simulations. Our work gives a direct evidence for the constructing synthetic Lieb lattice with two rings, which hence makes a solid step towards experimentally constructing more complicated lattices in multiple rings associated with synthetic frequency dimension.

摘要：For lossless periodic structures with a proper symmetry, the transmission and reflection spectra often have peaks and dips that are truly $100\%$ and $0\%$, respectively. The full peaks and zero dips typically appear near resonant frequencies, and they are robust with respect to structural perturbations that preserve the required symmetry. However, current theories on the existence of full peaks and zero dips are incomplete and difficult to use. For periodic structures with a bound state in the continuum (BIC), we present a new theory on the existence of real transmission and reflection zeros that correspond to the zero dips in the transmission and reflection spectra. Our theory is relatively simple, complete, and easy to use. Numerical examples are presented to validate the new theory.

摘要：We have developed an inelastic wave scattering based colliding-probe bi-atomic magnetometer theory. We show a propagation growth blockade in single probe based magnetic field sensing schemes, revealing the root cause of strong suppression of nonlinear magneto-optical rotation effect (NMORE) in single probe based atomic magnetometers. We further show, both experimentally and theoretically, a colliding probe bi-atomic magnetometer that lifts this NMORE blockade. The directional energy circulation in this new atomic magnetometry technique results in more than two orders of magnitude increase in NMORE signal as well as greater than 6dB increase of magnetic field detection sensitivity. The new technique may have broad applications in photon gates and switching operations.

摘要：We demonstrate the optomechanical cooling of a tapered optical nanofiber by coupling the polarization of light to the mechanical angular momentum of the system. The coupling is enabled by birefringence in the fiber and does not make use of an optical resonator. We find evidence for cooling in the distribution of thermally driven amplitude fluctuations and the noise spectrum of the torsional modes. Our proof-of-principle demonstration shows cavity-less cooling of the torsional degree of freedom of a macroscopically extended nanofiber.

摘要：Chiral spin textures are researched widely in condensed matter systems and show potential for spintronics and storage applications. Along with extensive condensed-matter studies of chiral spin textures, photonic counterparts of these textures have been observed in various optical systems with broken inversion symmetry. Unfortunately, the resemblances are only phenomenological. This work proposes a theoretical framework based on the variational theorem to show that the formation of photonic chiral spin textures in an optical interface is derived from the system's symmetry and relativity. Analysis of the optical system's rotational symmetry indicates that conservation of the total angular momentum is preserved from the local variations of spin vectors. Specifically, although the integral spin momentum does not carry net energy, the local spin momentum distribution, which determines the local subluminal energy transport and minimization variation of the square of total angular momentum, results in the chiral twisting of the spin vectors. The findings here deepen the understanding of the symmetries, conservative laws and energy transportation in optical system, construct the comparability in the formation mechanisms and geometries of photonic and condensed-matter chiral spin textures, and suggest applications to optical manipulation and chiral photonics.

摘要：Few-photon transport via waveguide-coupled local quantum systems has attracted extensive theoretical and experimental studies. Most of the study has focused on atomic or atomic-like local quantum systems due to their strong light-matter interaction useful for quantum applications. Here, we study few-photon transport via a waveguide-coupled multimode optical cavity with second-order bulk nonlinearity. We develop a Feynman diagram approach and compute the scattering matrix of the one- and two-photon transport. Based on the calculated scattering matrix, we show highly nonclassical photonic effects, including photon blockade and $\pi-$conditional phase shift, are achievable in the waveguide-coupled multimode optical cavity system via quantum interference and linear response engineering. Our results might lead to significant applications of quantum photonic circuits in all-optical quantum information processing and quantum network protocols.

摘要：Optical full-field recovery makes it possible to compensate for fiber impairments such as chromatic dispersion and polarization mode dispersion (PMD) in the digital signal processing. For cost-sensitive short-reach optical networks, some advanced single-polarization (SP) optical field recovery schemes are recently proposed to avoid chromatic dispersion-induced power fading effect, and improve the spectral efficiency for larger potential capacity. Polarization division multiplexing (PDM) can further double both the spectral efficiency and the system capacity of these SP carrier-assisted direct detection (DD) schemes. However, the so-called polarization fading phenomenon induced by random polarization rotation is a fundamental obstacle which prevents SP carrier-assisted DD systems from polarization diversity. In this paper, we propose a receiver of Jones-space field recovery (JSFR) to realize polarization diversity with SP carrier-assisted DD schemes in Jones space. Different receiver structures and simplified recovery procedures for JSFR are explored theoretically. The proposed JSFR pushes the SP DD schemes towards PDM without extra optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) penalty. In addition, the JSFR shows good tolerance to PMD since the optical field recovery is conducted before polarization recovery. In the concept-of-proof experiment, we demonstrate 448-Gb/s reception over 80-km single-mode fiber using the proposed JSFR based on 22 couplers. Furthermore, we qualitatively compare the optical field recovery in Jones space and Stokes space from the perspective of the modulation dimension. Qualitatively, we compare the optical field recovery in the Jones space and Stokes space from the perspective of the modulation dimension.

摘要：Data centers, the engines of the global Internet, are supported by massive high-speed optical interconnects. In optical fiber communication, the classic direct detection obtains only the intensity of the optical field, while the coherent detection counterpart utilizes both phase and polarization diversities at the expense of beating with a narrow-linewidth and high-stable local oscillator (LO). Herein, we propose and demonstrate a four-dimensional Jones space optical field recovery (4-D JSFR) scheme without LO. The information encoded on the intensity and phase of both polarizations can be captured by the polarization-diversity full-field receiver structure and subsequently extracted through deep neural network-aided field recovery. It achieves similar electrical spectral efficiency as standard intradyne coherent detection. The fully recovered optical field can extend the transmission distance beyond the power fading limitation induced by fiber chromatic dispersion. Furthermore, the LO-free advantage makes 4-D JSFR suitable for monolithic photonic integration, offering a spectrally efficient and cost-effective candidate for large-scale data center applications. Our results could motivate a fundamental paradigm shift in the optical field recovery theory and future optical transceiver design.

摘要：Nonreciprocal elements, such as isolators and circulators, play an important role in classical and quantum information processing. Recently, strong nonreciprocal effects have been experimentally demonstrated in cavity optomechanical systems. In these approaches, the bandwidth of the nonreciprocal photon transmission is limited by the mechanical resonator linewidth, which is arguably much smaller than the linewidths of the cavity modes in most electromechanical or optomechanical devices. In this work, we demonstrate broadband nonreciprocal photon transmission in the \emph{reversed-dissipation} regime, where the mechanical mode with a large decay rate can be adiabatically eliminated while mediating anti-$\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric dissipative coupling with two kinds of phase factors. Adjusting the relative phases allows the observation of \emph{periodic} Riemann-sheet structures with distributed exceptional points (Eps). At the Eps, destructive quantum interference breaks both the $\mathcal{T}$- and $\mathcal{P}$-inversion symmetry, resulting in unidirectional and chiral photon transmissions. In the reversed-dissipation regime, the nonreciprocal bandwidth is no longer limited by the mechanical mode linewidth but is improved to the linewidth of the cavity resonance. Furthermore, we find that the direction of the unidirectional and chiral energy transfer could be reversed by changing the \emph{parity} of the Eps. Extending non-Hermitian couplings to a three-cavity model, the broken anti-$\mathcal{PT}$-symmetry allows us to observe high-order Eps, at which a parity-dependent chiral circulator is demonstrated. The driving-phase controlled periodical Riemann sheets allow observation of the parity-dependent unidirectional and chiral energy transfer and thus provide a useful cell for building up nonreciprocal array and realizing topological, e.g., isolators, circulators, or amplifiers.

摘要：Optical time-domain reflectometry (OTDR) is the basis for distributed time-domain optical fiber sensing techniques. By injecting pulse light into an optical fiber, the distance information of an event can be obtained based on the time of light flight. The minimum distinguishable event separation along the fiber length is called the spatial resolution, which is determined by the optical pulse width. By reducing the pulse width, the spatial resolution can be improved. However, at the same time, the signal-to-noise ratio of the system is degraded, and higher speed equipment is required. To solve this problem, data processing methods such as iterative subdivision, deconvolution, and neural networks have been proposed. However, they all have some shortcomings and thus have not been widely applied. Here, we propose and experimentally demonstrate an OTDR deconvolution neural network based on deep convolutional neural networks. A simplified OTDR model is built to generate a large amount of training data. By optimizing the network structure and training data, an effective OTDR deconvolution is achieved. The simulation and experimental results show that the proposed neural network can achieve more accurate deconvolution than the conventional deconvolution algorithm with a higher signal-to-noise ratio.

摘要：It is well known that the optical properties of spherical metal particles can be described with the Rayleigh approximation or rigorous Mie theory. But for the single metallic nanorods, a theory well capturing the fundamental resonance and scattering features is still absent. In this study, an analytical model is developed for the metallic nanorod, considering the longitudinally non-uniform conduction current and surface charges. With the circuit parameters deduced from the kinetic and electromagnetic energy of the nanorod, a formula which agrees well with the simulations has been suggested for the resonance wavelength of the fundamental longitudinal mode. Moreover, by introducing the radiative resistance to the circuit theory, the dipole moment, extinction spectrum, and near-field enhancement of the nanorod have been derived analytically and confirmed numerically. The results are important for understanding the optical properties of the metallic nanorods and provide a guideline for designing the light scattering and absorption.

摘要：Topological phonon polaritons (TPhPs) are promising optical modes relevant in long-range radiative heat transfer, information processing and infrared sensing, whose topological protection is expected to enable their robust existence and transport. In this work we show that TPhPs can be supported in one-dimensional (1D) bichromatic silicon carbide nanoparticle (NP) chains, and demonstrate that they can considerably enhance radiative heat transfer for an array much longer than the wavelength of radiation. By introducing incommensurate or commensurate modulations on the interparticle distances, the NP chain can be regarded as an extension of the off-diagonal Aubry-Andr\'e-Harper (AAH) model. By calculating the eigenstate spectra with respect to the modulation phase that creates a synthetic dimension, we demonstrate that under this type of modulation the chain supports nontrivial topological modes localized over the boundaries, since the present system inherits the topological property of two-dimensional integer quantum Hall systems. In this circumstance the gap-labeling theorem and corresponding Chern number can be used to characterize the features of band gaps and topological edge modes. Based on many-body radiative heat transfer theory for a set of dipoles, we theoretically show the presence of topological gaps and midgap TPhPs can substantially enhance radiative heat transfer for an array much longer than the wavelength of radiation. We show how the modulation phase that acts as the synthetic dimension can tailor the radiative heat transfer rate by inducing or annihilating topological modes. We also discuss the role of dissipation in the enhancement of radiative heat transfer. These findings therefore provide a fascinating route for tailoring near-field radiative heat transfer based on the concept of topological physics.

摘要：We report the development of laser systems -- a "Voigt laser" -- using a Voigt anomalous dispersion optical filter as the frequency-selective element, working at the wavelength of 780 nm of $^{87}$Rb-D2 resonance line. Compared with Faraday anomalous dispersion optical filter, the Voigt anomalous dispersion optical filter can generate a stronger and more uniform magnetic field with a compact size of magnet, and obtains a transmission spectrum with narrower linewidth and more stable lineprofile. In this case, the frequency stability of the Voigt laser reaches 5$\times$10$^{-9}$ at the averaging time of 200 s, and the wavelength fluctuation of 8-hours free operation is $\pm$0.1 pm. Besides, the Voigt laser has greater immunity to diode current than the Faraday laser, with a wavelength fluctuation of $\pm$0.5 pm in the current range from 73 mA to 150 mA. Finally, the Voigt laser frequency can be controlled by the cell temperature of the Voigt optical filter, which is expected to achieve a frequency detuning of 20 GHz. Consequently, the Voigt laser, whose frequency could correspond to the atomic transition frequency by tuning the cell temperature, obtains good robustness to the current and temperature fluctuation of laser diode, and could realize a compact optical standard for precise measurement once stabilized by modulation transfer spectroscopy.

摘要：A photonics-assisted microwave pulse detection and frequency measurement scheme is proposed. The unknown microwave pulse is converted to the optical domain and then injected into a fiber loop for pulse replication, which makes it easier to identify the microwave pulse with large pulse repetition interval (PRI), whereas stimulated Brillouin scattering-based frequency-to-time mapping (FTTM) is utilized to measure the carrier frequency of the microwave pulse. A sweep optical carrier is generated and modulated by the unknown microwave pulse and a continuous-wave single-frequency reference, generating two different frequency sweep optical signals, which are combined and used as the probe wave to detect a fixed Brillouin gain spectrum. When the optical signal is detected in a photodetector, FTTM is realized and the frequency of the microwave pulse can be determined. An experiment is performed. For a fiber loop containing a 210-m fiber, pulse replication and FTTM of the pulses with a PRI of 20 {\mu}s and pulse width of 1.20, 1.00, 0.85, and 0.65 {\mu}s are realized. Under a certain sweep frequency chirp rate of 0.978 THz/s, the measurement errors are below {\pm}12 and {\pm}5 MHz by using one pair of pulses and multiple pairs of pulses, respectively. The influence of the sweep frequency chirp rate and pulse width on the measurement error has also been studied. To a certain extent, the faster the frequency sweep, the greater the frequency measurement error. For a specific sweep frequency chirp rate, the measurement error is almost unaffected by the pulse width to be measured.

摘要：Rare-earth ions doped crystals are of great significance for micro-sensing and quantum information, whilst the ions in the crystals emit light with spontaneous partial polarization, which is, though believed to be originated from the crystal lattice structure, still lacking a deterministic explanation that can be tested with quantitative accuracy. We report the experimental evidence showing the profound physical relation between the polarization degree of light emitted by the doped ion and the lattice symmetry, by demonstrating, with unprecedented precision, that the lattice constant ratio c/a directly quantifies the macroscopic effective polar angle of the electric and magnetic dipoles, which essentially determines the linear polarization degree of the emission. Based on this discovery, we further propose a pure optical technology to identify the three-dimensional orientation of a rod-shaped single microcrystal using the polarization-resolved micro-spectroscopy. Our results, revealing the physical origin of light polarization in ion-doped crystals, open the way towards on-demand polarization control with crystallography, and provide a versatile platform for polarization-based microscale sensing in dynamical systems.

摘要：A high-performance S-band single-longitudinal-mode (SLM) erbium-doped fiber (EDF) ring cavity laser based on a depressed cladding EDF is investigated and experimentally demonstrated. We combine a double-ring passive resonator (DR-PR) and a length of unpumped polarization maintaining (PM) EDF in the laser cavity to achieve the SLM lasing without mode hopping. The DR-PR, composed of two efficient dual-coupler fiber rings, is utilized to expand the free spectral range of the EDF ring cavity laser and to eliminate the dense longitudinal modes greatly. The PM EDF, insusceptible to random change induced by environmental perturbations, is used as a saturable absorber filter to guarantee and to stabilize the SLM operation of the EDF ring cavity laser. At the pump power of 400 mW, we obtain an SLM EDF ring laser with a linewidth as narrow as 568 Hz, an optical signal-to-noise ratio as high as 77 dB, and a relative intensity noise as low as 140 dB/Hz at the frequency over 5 MHz. Meanwhile, the stability performance of both the wavelength lasing and the output power, the dependence of the OSNR and the output power on pump power for the S-band fiber laser are also investigated in detail.

摘要：Parity-time (PT) symmetry and broken in micro/nano photonic structures have been investigated extensively as they bring new opportunities to control the flow of light based on non-Hermitian optics. Previous studies have focused on the situations of PT-symmetry broken in loss-loss or gain-loss coupling systems. Here, we theoretically predict the gain-gain and gain-lossless PT-broken from phase diagram, where the boundaries between PT-symmetry and PT-broken can be clearly defined in the full-parameter space including gain, lossless and loss. For specific micro/nano photonic structures, such as coupled waveguides, we give the transmission matrices of each phase space, which can be used for beam splitting. Taking coupled waveguides as an example, we obtain periodic energy exchange in PT-symmetry phase and exponential gain or loss in PT-broken phase, which are consistent with the phase diagram. The scenario giving a full view of PT-symmetry or broken, will not only deepen the understanding of fundamental physics, but also will promote the breakthrough of photonic applications like optical routers and beam splitters.

摘要：Benefiting from their low-loss light manipulation at subwavelength scales, optically resonant dielectric nanostructures have emerged as one of the most promising nanophotonic building blocks. Here, we theoretically conceive a dielectric nanocavity made of moderate-refractive-index gallium nitride and investigate the strong electromagnetic field confinement inside the nanocavity. We demonstrate that gallium nitride nanodisks can support anapole states, which result from interference between electric dipole and toroidal dipole modes and are tunable by changing sizes of the nanodisks. The highly confined electromagnetic field of the anapole states can promote the emission efficiency of a single quantum emitter inside the nanocavity. Moreover, the emission polarization can be tuned by placing the quantum emitter off the nanodisk center. Our findings provide a promising candidate for the construction of ultra-compact, super-radiative integrated quantum light sources.
