Abstract： Topology-driven nonlinear light-matter effects open up new paradigms for both topological photonics and nonlinear optics. Here, we propose to achieve high-efficiency second-harmonic generation in a second-order photonic topological insulator. Such system hosts highly localized topological corner states with large quality factors for both fundamental and second harmonic waves, which could be matched perfectly in frequency by simply tuning the structural parameters. Through the nonlinear interaction of the doubly resonant topological corner states, unprecedented frequency conversion efficiency is predicted. In addition, the robustness of the nonlinear process against defects is also demonstrated. Our work opens up new avenues toward topologically protected nonlinear frequency conversion using high-order photonic topological modes.

Abstract： Second-order photonic topological insulators that host highly localized corner states resilient to defects, are opening new routes towards developing fascinating photonic devices. However, the existing works on second-order photonic topological insulators have mainly focused on either transverse magnetic or transverse electric modes. In this paper, we propose a dual-polarization topological photonic crystal structure for both transverse magnetic and transverse electric modes through topology optimization. Simple tight-binding lattice models are constructed to reveal the topological features of the optimized photonic crystal structure in a transparent way. The optimized dual-polarization second-order photonic topological insulator hosts four groups of corner states with different profiles and eigenfrequencies for both the transverse magnetic and transverse electric modes. Moreover, the robustness of theses corner states against defects is explicitly demonstrated. Our results offer opportunities for developing polarization-independent topological photonic devices.

Abstract： When imaging moving objects, single-pixel imaging produces motion blur. This paper proposes a new single-pixel imaging method, which can achieve anti-motion blur imaging of a fast-moving object. The geometric moment patterns and Hadamard patterns are used to alternately encode the position information and the image information of the object with time-division multiplexing. In the reconstruction process, the object position information is extracted independently and combining motion-compensation reconstruction algorithm to decouple the object motion from image information. As a result, the anti-motion blur image and the high frame rate object positions are obtained. Experimental results show that for a moving object with an angular velocity of up to 0.5rad/s relative to the imaging system, the proposed method achieves a localization frequency of 5.55kHz, and gradually reconstructs a clear image of the fast-moving object with a pseudo resolution of 512x512. The method has application prospects in single-pixel imaging of the fast-moving object.
