摘要： Light scattering within scattering media presents a substantial obstacle to optical transmission. A speckle pattern with random amplitude and phase distribution is observed when coherent light travels through strong scattering media. Fortunately, wavefront shaping has been successfully employed with a spatial light modulator to recover intensity targets after scattering media, such as a sharp focus point or specified two-dimensional patterns. There have, however, been few studies that attempted to separately manipulate the amplitude and phase of the focusing field. In this paper, we propose a feedback-based wavefront shaping method to generate complex optical fields through scattering medium. A reliable phase retrieval approach is introduced to provide the complex feedback information, i.e., the amplitude and phase of the focusing field. Accordingly, in order to modulate the speckle field into a desired complex structured optical field, a multi-objective genetic algorithm is used to find the best phase map. To demonstrate the proposed method's high performance, experimental tests have been carried out. High fidelity is demonstrated in the generation of diverse complex light fields, both in amplitude and phase. Our findings may facilitate the manipulation of light field through scattering medium, and are anticipated to further promote future applications such as optogenetics, vortex optical communication, and optical trapping through scattering media.

摘要： The past decade has witnessed a booming development of topological photonics, which revolutionizes the methodology for controlling the behavior of light. A gigantic achievement is to engineer robust confined modes localized at interfaces between topologically distinct regions, where the optical context can trigger exotic topological phenomena exclusive to photons. Here, we provide an experimentally flexible approach to engineering topologically induced interface states in the visible regime via a unique design of complex superlattice formed by connecting two component superlattices of distinguished topological phases. Assisted by the intrinsic pseudospin degree due to the splitting between TM and TE polarized modes, we attain a precise manipulation of the spin-dependent topological interface states that can manifest themselves straightforwardly through transmission spectra. More specifically, since these topological localized modes stem from the hybridization of artificial photonic orbitals that are of topological origin as well, they are deemed as a novel topological effect and thus named as the secondary topological interface states. Our work develops an innovative and productive strategy to tune topologically protected localized modes, based on which various applications such as selective local enhancement can be exploited.

摘要： The past decade has seen a proliferation of topological materials for both insulators and semimetals in electronic systems and classical waves. Topological semimetals exhibit topologically protected band degeneracies, such as nodal points and nodal lines. Dirac nodal line semimetals (DNLS), which own four-fold line degeneracy, have drawn particular attention. DNLSs have been studied in electronic systems but there is no photonic DNLS. Here in this work, we provide a new mechanism which is unique for photonic systems to investigate a stringent photonic DNLS. When truncated, the photonic DNLS exhibits double-bowl states (DBS), which comprises two sets of perpendicularly polarized surface states. In sharp contrast to nondegenerate surface states in other photonic systems, here the two sets of surface states are almost degenerate over the whole spectrum range. The DBS and the bulk Dirac nodal ring (DNR) dispersion along the relevant directions, are experimentally resolved.

摘要： In this study, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a novel kind of Tamm plasmon topological superlattice (TTS) by engineering Tamm photonic crystals (TPCs) belonging to a different class of topology. Utilizing specifically designed double-layer metasurfaces etching on planar multilayered photonic structures, the TPC that supports the Tamm plasmon photonic bandgap is realized in the visible regime. Through the coupling of topological interface states existing between different TPCs, hybrid topological interface states of Tamm plasmon, called supermodes, are obtained that can be fully described by a tight-binding model. Meanwhile, we can achieve a tunable bandwidth of supermodes via varying the etching depth difference between double-layer metasurfaces. We show that the bandwidth decreases with the increase of etching depth difference, resulting in a nearly flat dispersion of supermodes with strong localization regardless of excitation angles. All the results are experimentally verified by measuring angular-resolved reflectance spectra. The TTS and supermodes proposed here open a new pathway for the manipulation of Tamm plasmons, based on which various promising applications such as integrated photonic devices, optical sensing, and enhancing light-matter interactions can be realized.

摘要： How to utilize topological microcavities to control quantum emission is one of the ongoing research topics in the optical community. In this work, we investigate the emission of quantum emitters in doubly-resonant topological Tamm microcavity, which can simultaneously achieve dual resonances at two arbitrary wavelengths according to the needs of practical application. To achieve the enhancement of quantum emission in such cavities, we have exploited the tunable doubly-resonant modes, in which one of resonant modes corresponds to the pump laser wavelength and the other one is located at the emission wavelength of quantum emitters. Both theoretical and experimental results demonstrate that the pump excitation and emission efficiencies of quantum emitters are greatly enhanced. The main physical mechanism can be explained by the doubly-resonant cavity temporal coupled-mode theory. Furthermore, we observe the faster emission rate and the higher efficiency of unidirectional quantum emission, which have promising applications in optical detection, sensing, filtering, and light-emitting devices.
