C-Silicon-based metasurfaces for aperture-robust spectrometer/imaging with angle integration

Compared with conventional grating-based spectrometers, reconstructive spectrometers based on spectrally engineered filtering have the advantage of miniaturization because of the less demand for dispersive optics and free propagation space. However, available reconstructive spectrometers fail to balance the performance on operational bandwidth, spectral diversity and angular stability. In this work, we proposed a compact silicon metasurfaces based spectrometer/camera. After angle integration, the spectral response of the system is robust to angle/aperture within a wide working bandwidth from 400nm to 800nm. It is experimentally demonstrated that the proposed method could maintain the spectral consistency from F/1.8 to F/4 (The corresponding angle of incident light ranges from 7° to 16°) and the incident hyperspectral signal could be accurately reconstructed with a fidelity exceeding 99%. Additionally, a spectral imaging system with 400x400 pixels is also established in this work. The accurate reconstructed hyperspectral image indicates that the proposed aperture-robust spectrometer has the potential to be extended as a high-resolution broadband hyperspectral camera.

Experimental Access to Observing Decay from Extremely Long-Lived Metastable Electronic States via Penning Trap Spectrometry

Long-lived ionic quantum states known as metastable electronic states in highly-charged ions (HCIs) are of great interest in fundamental physics. Especially, it generates transitions with very narrow natural linewidth which is a promising candidate for use in the next generation HCI atomic clocks to reach an accuracy below $10^{-19}$. A recent experiment reported in [Nature,581(7806) 2020], used Penning trap mass spectrometry to measure the energy of an extremely long-lived metastable electronic state, thus opening doors to search for HCI clock transitions. Building upon prior research, this study introduces an experimental proposal with the goal of measuring lifetimes of the metastable states beyond seconds. Our approach employs a sequential pulse-and-phase measurement scheme, allowing for direct observations of the decay processes from metastable electronic states through single-ion mass spectrometry in a Penning trap. This measurement poses a significant challenge to conventional techniques like fluorescence detection. To demonstrate the effectiveness of this method, we conducted a comprehensive simulation under real experimental conditions, yielding promising results in a specific scenario. Two suitable candidates are proposed for testing this method, and the state-of-the-art MCDHF theory are employed for accurate energy levels and transition rate calculations. Some future prospects in the experimental determinations of a wide range of energy and lifetimes of long-lived metastable electronic states, probing hyperfine and magnetic quenching effects on high-order forbidden transitions and search for highly quality HCI clock transitions are discussed.

UDC 2020 Challenge on Image Restoration of Under-Display Camera: Methods and Results

This paper is the report of the first Under-Display Camera (UDC) image restoration challenge in conjunction with the RLQ workshop at ECCV 2020. The challenge is based on a newly-collected database of Under-Display Camera. The challenge tracks correspond to two types of display: a 4k Transparent OLED (T-OLED) and a phone Pentile OLED (P-OLED). Along with about 150 teams registered the challenge, eight and nine teams submitted the results during the testing phase for each track. The results in the paper are state-of-the-art restoration performance of Under-Display Camera Restoration. Datasets and paper are available at https://yzhouas.github.io/projects/UDC/udc.html.

Photonic flywheel in a monolithic fiber resonator

We demonstrate the first compact photonic flywheel with sub-fs time jitter (averaging times up to 10 μs) at the quantum-noise limit of a monolithic fiber resonator. Such quantum-limited performance is accessed through novel two-step pumping scheme for dissipative Kerr soliton (DKS) generation. Controllable interaction between stimulated Brillouin lasing and Kerr nonlinearity enhances the DKS coherence and mitigate the thermal instability challenge, achieving a remarkable 22-Hz intrinsic comb linewidth and an unprecedented phase noise of -180 dBc/Hz at 945 MHz carrier at free running. The scheme can be generalized to various device platforms for field-deployable precision metrology.

Solid-state Mamyshev oscillator

We present the first design and analysis of a solid-state Mamyshev oscillator. We utilize the phase-mismatched cascaded quadratic nonlinear process in periodically poled lithium niobite waveguide to generate substantial spectral broadening for Mamyshev modelocking. The extensive spectral broadening bridges the two narrowband gain media in the two arms of the same cavity, leading to a broadband mode-locking not attainable with either gain medium alone. Two pulses are coupled out of the cavity and each of the output pulses carries a pulse energy of 25.3 nJ at a repetition rate of 100 MHz. The 10-dB bandwidth of 2.1 THz supports a transform limited pulse duration of 322 fs, more than 5 times shorter than what can be achieved with either gain medium alone. Finally, effects of group velocity mismatch, group velocity dispersion, and nonlinear saturation on the performance of Mamyshev mode-locking are numerically discussed in detail.

Tip-enhanced strong coupling spectroscopy, imaging, and control of a single quantum emitter

Optical cavities can enhance and control light-matter interactions. This has recently been extended to the nanoscale, and with single emitter strong coupling regime even at room temperature using plasmonic nano-cavities with deep sub-diffraction-limited mode volumes. However, with emitters in static nano-cavities, this limits the ability to tune coupling strength or to couple different emitters to the same cavity. Here, we present tip-enhanced strong coupling (TESC) spectroscopy, imaging, and control. Based on a nano-cavity formed between a scanning plasmonic antenna-tip and the substrate, by reversibly and dynamically addressing single quantum dots (QDs) we observe mode splitting > 160 meV and anticrossing over a detuning range of ~100 meV, and with sub-nm precision control over the mode volume in the ~1000 nm^3 regime. Our approach, as a new paradigm of nano-cavity quantum-electrodynamics near-field microscopy to induce, probe, and control single-emitter plasmon hybrid quantum states, opens new pathways from opto-electronics to quantum information science.
