In-situ integrated nonlocal Huygens metasurfaces enable robust vortex beams from multimode fibers

A fundamental hurdle for multimode fiber (MMF) integrated photonics is achieving robust and deterministic wavefront shaping against fiber perturbation, which induces random modal interference and scrambles the real-space output into speckle patterns. Existing wavefront shaping methods typically rely on pixelated phase or polarization pre-compensation, rendering them highly sensitive to fiber deformation. Here, we show that in-situ integration of a silicon nonlocal metasurface onto an MMF end facet enables direct conversion of arbitrary speckle patterns into optical vortex beams without pre-compensation. The metasurface supports overlapped Mie resonances and nonlocal bound states in the continuum (BICs), yielding high-transmission bands by satisfying the generalized nonlocal Huygens condition. Through momentum-space coupling between MMF modes and Huygens-BICs with topological polarization-vortex nature, the output maintains doughnut-shaped profiles under static and dynamic perturbations, demonstrating exceptional robustness against fiber deformation. This approach provides a compact, alignment-tolerant platform for robust structured light generation in MMFs for endoscopy, optical trapping and communications.

Full-color complex-amplitude vectorial holograms based on multi-freedom metasurfaces

Phase, polarization, amplitude and frequency represent the basic dimensions of light, playing crucial roles for both fundamental light-mater interactions and all major optical applications. Metasurface emerges as a compact platform to manipulate these knobs, but previous metasurfaces have limited flexibility to simultaneous control them. Here, we introduce a multi-freedom metasurface that can simultaneously and independently modulate phase, polarization and amplitude in an analytical form, and further realize frequency multiplexing by a k-space engineering technique. The multi-freedom metasurface seamlessly combine geometric Pancharatnam-Berry phase and detour phase, both of which are frequency-independent. As a result, it allows complex-amplitude vectorial hologram at various frequencies based on the same design strategy, without sophisticated nanostructure searching of massive size parameters. Based on this principle, we experimentally demonstrate full-color complex-amplitude vectorial meta-holograms in the visible with a metal-insulator metal architecture, unlocking the long-sought full potential of advanced light field manipulation through ultrathin metasurfaces.

Controlling light with nonlinear quasicrystal metasurfaces

Metasurface, a kind of two-dimensional structured medium, represents a novel platform to manipulate the propagation of light at subwavelength scale. In linear optical regime, many interesting topics such as planar metalens, metasurface optical holography and so on have been widely investigated. Recently, metasurfaces go into nonlinear optical regime. While it is recognized that the local symmetry of the meta-atoms plays vital roles, its relationship with global symmetry of the nonlinear metasurfaces remains elusive. According to the Penrose tiling and the newly proposed hexagonal quasicrystalline tiling, here we designed and fabricated the nonlinear optical quasicrystal metasurfaces based on the geometric phase controlled plasmonic meta-atoms with local rotational symmetry. The second harmonic waves will be determined by both the tiling schemes of quasicrystal metasurfaces and the local symmetry of meta-atoms they consist of. The proposed concept opens new routes for designing nonlinear metasurface crystals with desired optical functionalities.

Planar Cassegrain-type Schwarzschild Objective with Optical Metasurfaces

Curved reflective mirrors play an indispensable role in widely-employed Cassegrain-type optics, which consequently are inevitably bulky, and thus neither integratable nor well extendable. Through substituting geometric phase based reflective metasurfaces for curved mirrors, here a planar Cassegrain-type Schwarzschild objective is obtained, with both the focusing and imaging functionalities experimentally verified. The planar reflective objective achieved is intrinsically free of residual light and thus imposes less stringent restrictions on illuminating light and nanofabrications compared to its refractive counterpart. Our planar Cassegrain-type designs can potentially reshape and simplify the core components of the microscope and telescope systems working at a broadband spectral range, and thus opens new avenues for designing compact imaging systems.
