摘要： The rapid scale broadening and divergence increasing of vortex beams (VBs) with orbital angular momentum (OAM), e.g., Laguerre-Gaussian beams, severely impede the wide applications of VBs ranging from optical manipulation to high-dimensional quantum information communications, which call for VBs to have the same transverse scale and divergence for distinct OAM or even the small vortex ring for large OAM. Non-diffracting beams, on the other hand, that are capable of overcoming diffraction without divergence, are very evocative and indeed appealing in numerous applications including atom optics and medical imaging. Here, we propose theoretically and demonstrate experimentally a brand new type of VB having OAM-independent radii meanwhile holding propagation-invariant without divergence as well as self-healing properties, named non-diffracting perfect vortex beam (NDPVB). We work out a versatile toolkit based on Fourier-space analysis to multidimensionally customize NDPVBs at will so that it is of propagating intensity and phase controllability with intriguing customizable behaviors of self-accelerating, self-similar, and self-rotating. This goes beyond tailoring the transverse plane to the higher-dimensional propagating characteristics in structured light beams. A deeper insight into the internal flow revealed and confirmed that the multidimensional customization of NDPVBs is dominated by inducing corresponding multidimensional internal flow, facilitating our understanding of how our design scheme of propagating properties manipulates the internal flows, unveiling the nature of structure formation and behavior transformation of structured light beams.

摘要： The recognition in the 1990s that vortex beams (VBs), paraxial light beams with optical vortices, carry orbital angular momentum (OAM), has benefited applications ranging from optical manipulation to high-dimensional classical and quantum information communications. The transverse profiles of common VBs, e.g., Laguerre-Gaussian beam and high-order Bessel beam, are hollow donuts whose radii grow up with OAM inevitably. The inherently unperfect character of the VBs that the radius is always positively correlated with OAM, restricts the application of the VBs in many scenarios like fiber optic data transmission, spatial OAM mode (de)multiplexing communication, and particle manipulation, which call for VBs to have the same scale with distinct OAM or even the small vortex ring for large OAM. Here, we derived a theory based on the most widely used Laguerre-Gaussian beam to generate a brand new type of VB with OAM-independent radii that moves away from the common unperfect constraint, called Laguerre-Gaussian Perfect Vortex Beam (LGPVB). LGPVBs have the self-similar property like common Laguerre-Gaussian beams but can self-heal after suffering disturbance and always remain 'perfection' when propagating. Our Fourier-space design not only allows us to shape the LGPVB's propagating intensity at will, but it also gives LGPVB the fascinating potential to arbitrarily self-accelerate while still perfectly propagating, self-similar, and self-healing. This customizable self-healing LGPVB, whose properties inform our most expectations of VBs, offers a better alternative for application scenarios of common VBs in a wide range of areas.

摘要： The orientation and ellipticity of terahertz (THz) polarization generated by two-color strong field not only cast light on underlying mechanisms of laser-matter interaction, but also play an important role for various applications. We develop the Coulomb-corrected classical trajectory Monte Carlo (CTMC) method to well reproduce the joint measurements, that the THz polarization generated by the linearly-polarized 800 nm and circularly-polarized 400 nm fields is independent on two-color phase delay. The trajectory analysis shows that the Coulomb potential twists the THz polarization by deflecting the orientation of asymptotic momentum of electron trajectories. Further, the CTMC calculations predict that, the two-color mid-infrared field can effectively accelerate the electron rapidly away from the parent core to relieve the disturbance of Coulomb potential, and simultaneously create large transverse acceleration of trajectories, leading to the circularly-polarized THz radiation.

摘要： The self-healing property of laser beams is of great interest. And a laser beam with spatial structures is also widely concerned due to its important applications in lots of areas. We theoretically and experimentally investigate the self-healing and transformation characteristics of obstructed structured beams composed by incoherent or coherent superposition of multiple Hermite-Gaussian (HG) modes. We reveal that partially obstructed single HG mode can recover itself or transfer to a lower order in the far-field. When the obstacle retains one pair of edged bright spots of HG mode in each direction of its two symmetry axes, the beam structure information (number of knot lines) along each axis can be restored. Otherwise, it will be transferred to the corresponding low-order HG mode or multi interference fringes in the far-field, according to the interval of the two most edged remaining spots on each axis. It's proved that the above effect is induced by the diffraction and interference results of the partially retained light field. This principle is also applicable to multi-eigenmodes composed beams with special customized optical structures. Then the self-healing and transformation characteristics of the partially obstructed HG modes composed structured beams are investigated. It's found that the HG modes incoherently composed structured beams have a strong ability to recover themselves in the far-field after occlusion. These investigations can expand the applications of optical lattice structures of laser communication, atom optical capture, and optical imaging.

摘要： Quantum-dot light-emitting diodes (QD-LEDs) promise a new generation of efficient, low-cost, large-area, and flexible electroluminescent devices. However, the inferior performance of green and blue QD-LEDs is hindering the commercialization of QD-LEDs in display and solid-state lighting. Here, we demonstrate best-performing green and blue QD-LEDs with ~100% conversion of the injected charge carriers into emissive excitons. Key to this success is eliminating electron leakage at the organic/inorganic interface by using hole-transport polymers with low electron affinity and reduced energetic disorder. Our devices exhibit record-high peak external quantum efficiencies (28.7% for green, 21.9% for blue), exceptionally high efficiencies in wide ranges of luminance, and unprecedented stability (T95 lifetime: 580,000 h for green, 4,400 h for blue). The overall performance surpasses previously reported solution-processed green and blue LEDs.
