Frontispiece: Planar bifunctional Luneburg‐fisheye lens made of an anisotropic metasurface

Luneburg lens and Maxwell‐fisheye lens are wellknown microwave and optical devices with distinct focusing properties. Xiang Wan et al . present a planar bifunctional Luneburg‐fisheye lens made of an anisotropic metasurface (pp. 757–765), which features as a Luneburg along the horizontal optical axis, while as a fisheye along the vertical optical axis. A method to control the inhomogeneous indices of refraction along the two optical axes independently is proposed by designing an anisotropic and nonuniform metasurface, which can provide the required distributions of refractive indices approximately for Luneburg and fisheye lenses viewing from the two optical axes. The proposed method opens up an avenue to design other kinds of bifunctional devices using metasurfaces in the microwave, terahertz, and even optical ranges. The figure shows the schematic diagram of the designed anisotropic metasurface lens, in which the big blue and red arrows indicate the directions of two optical axes. U‐s haped metallic particles constitute the whole metasurface lens, which acts as a Luneburg lens when observed f rom the direction of the blue arrow, but as a Fisheye lens when observed from the direction of the red arrow.

Luneburg lens and Maxwell‐fisheye lens are well‐known microwave and optical devices with distinct focusing properties. Here, a planar bifunctional Luneburg‐fisheye lens made of an anisotropic metasurface is presented, which features as a Luneburg along the horizontal optical axis, while as a fisheye along the vertical optical axis. A method to control the inhomogeneous indices of refraction along the two optical axes independently is proposed by designing an anisotropic and nonuniform metasurface, which can provide the required distributions of refractive indices approximately for Luneburg and fisheye lenses viewing from the two optical axes. Experiments in the microwave frequency range demonstrate very good performance of the planar bifunctional Luneburg‐fisheye lens. The proposed method opens up an avenue to design other kinds of bifunctional devices using metasurfaces in the microwave, terahertz, and even optical ranges.     

An electrically tunable metasurface integrated with graphene for mid-infrared light modulation

We propose a low-cost plasmonic metasurface integrated with single-layer graphene for dynamic modulation of midinfrared light. The plasmonic metasurface is composed of an array of split magnetic resonators(MRs) where a nano slit is included. Extraordinary optical transmission(EOT) through the deep subwavelength slit is observed by excitation of magnetic plasmons in the split MRs. Furthermore, the introduction of the slit provides strongly enhanced fields around the graphene layer, leading to a large tuning effect on the EOT by changing the Fermi energy of the graphene. The proposed metasurface can be utilized as an optical modulator with a broad modulation width(15 μm) or an optical switch with a high on/off ratio( 100). Meanwhile, the overall thickness of the metasurface is 430 nm, which is tens of times smaller than the operating wavelength. This work may have potential applications in mid-infrared optoelectrical devices and give insights into reconfigurable flat optics and optoelectronics.

The Detection of Defects in Optical Fibers Using a Hybrid Opto-electronic Correlator

A hybrid opto-electronic correlator for detecting defects in optical fibers is proposed. After the light from a He-Ne laser being expanded and filtered it is not collimated but directly passes a Fourier transform lens and illuminates a reference fiber and a test fiber at the same input plane. The Fourier transform spectrum of the two fibers is therefore obtained at the rear focal plane of the lens, where it is sampled via a CCD array connected with a computer through a frame grabber. The computer performs filter, inverse Fourier transform and setting threshold operation on classification. The system is an equivalent of joint transform correlator with a Fourier lens of long focal length. The experiment results for optical fibers having incoordinate defects are presented. The results indicate that the system can be used for fiber defect detection, and has the advantages of high identification, compact configuration, easy adjustment and flexible manipulation.

Helicity Multiplexed Spin‐Orbit Interaction in Metasurface for Colorized and Encrypted Holographic Display

The photonic spin‐orbit interaction (PSOI) in inhomogeneous anisotropic metasurface has drawn much attentions recently due to its superior ability to manipulate light wave in the deep‐subwavelength scale. Traditional methods involving PSOI are limited to operational spectral bandwidth owing to the intrinsic dispersion of the constitutive materials. In this paper, a helicity‐multiplexing scheme is proposed to achieve independent control of the PSOI in both the spectral and spatial domains by combining the broadband characteristic with polarization dependence of the metasurface. Two simultaneous functions of multicolor holographic display and polarization encryption are experimentally demonstrated with a single metasurface perforated with nanoholes. Although the optical response of the nanoholes themselves are almost independent of the light wavelength, the obtained image can have abundant spectral information. The approach proposed here is promising for realizing multifunction optical device, multicolor display, optical storage and information encryption.

Design of broadband achromatic metasurface device based on phase-change material Ge2Sb2Te5

Based on the phase-change material Ge₂Sb₂Te₅ (GST), achromatic metasurface optical device in the longer-infrared wavelength is designed. With the combination of the linear phase gradient GST nanopillar and the adjustment of the crystalline fraction m value of GST, the polarization insensitive achromic metalenses and beam deflector metasurface within the longer-infrared wavelength 9.5 μm to 13 μm are realized. The design results show that the achromatic metalenses can be focused on the same focal plane within the working waveband. The simulation calculation results show that the full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of the focusing spot reaches the diffraction limit at each wavelength. In addition, the same method is also used to design a broadband achromatic beam deflector metasurface with the same deflection angle of 19°. The method proposed in this article not only provides new ideas for the design of achromatic metasurfaces, but also provides new possibilities for the integration of optical imaging, optical coding and other related optical systems.

Optical vernier filter with cascaded double-coupler compound fiber loop resonators

A simple optical vernier filter with cascaded double-coupler compound fiber loop resonators is proposed. The proposed filter consists of two individual double-coupler compound fiber loop resonators. The circulating and transmitted output fields and intensities, as well as some performance parameters such as the contrast, finesse and free spectral range, are computed and presented in graphical form. A comparison between this proposed vernier filter and one individual double-coupler compound fiber loop resonator is made. The simulation results show that the contrast and finesse of the proposed vernier filter can be increased remarkably compared to the individual one double-coupler compound fiber loop resonator. And it is found that the free spectral range of the proposed filter can be enhanced by the vernier operation. These results are useful when the proposed vernier filter is used to construct narrow-bandwidth filters and single-frequency fiber lasers.

Laser-induced ignition by optical breakdown

This paper is an experimental work of the applied methodical character in which as an attempt to optimize a laser ignition system a systematic study of the best incoupling geometry for the employed Nd:YAG laser was performed. The incoupling geometry comprises the pump fiber and an aspheric collimating lens. In this context, the distance between pump fiber and collimating lens was made continuously variable. The distance between fiber and lens primarily influences the diameter of the pump beam. In this way, it is possible to control the pulse energy as well as the number of pulses generated within a pump cycle. Furthermore, investigations to analyze the focal size dependence of plasma generation were carried out. As a result, it was found that it is possible to reduce optical losses caused by plasma transmission by choosing an optimum focal volume. This experiment was carried out for different pressures and focal volumes.

The approach is relatively simple and easy to implement. The accuracy in determining the focal point and working distance is better than 2%.
