Active control of phase matching in nonlinear metasurfaces using Pancharatnam--Berry phase

Reconfiguring the spectral output of nonlinear metasurfaces after fabrication remains challenging. We address this by exploiting the nonlinear Pancharatnam--Berry phase of $C_{3v}$-symmetric plasmonic metasurfaces. By integrating two metasurfaces inside a multipass cell, we experimentally demonstrate continuous spectral tuning of second-harmonic generation (SHG) phase-matching peaks across a 900--970 nm pump range by rotating one metasurface relative to the other. The extracted geometric phase follows the $3\sigma\theta$ dependence, and a full $2\pi$ tuning cycle is completed with $120^{\circ}$ of physical rotation. This establishes geometric-phase metasurfaces as a reconfigurable nonlinear platform, where mechanical rotation enables post-fabrication and broadband tuning of nonlinear optical responses.

Scattering Dominated Spatial Coherence and Phase Correlation Properties in Plasmonic Lattice Lasers

We present a comprehensive study of the polarization and spatial coherence properties of the lasing modes supported by a 4-fold symmetric plasmonic lattice. By modifying only, the scattering properties of the individual particles while keeping the lattice geometry constant, we are able to distinguish the scattering induced effects from the lattice geometry induced effects. Customized interferometric measurements reveal that the lasing emission undergoes a drastic change from 1D to 2D spatial coherence with increasing particle size, accompanied with dramatic changes in the far field polarization and beaming properties. By utilizing T-matrix scattering simulations, we reveal the physical mechanism governing this transition. In particular, we find that there exists increased radiative coupling in the diagonal directions at the plane of the lattice when the particle diameter is increased. Finally, we demonstrate that the x- and y-polarized (degenerate) lasing modes become phase locked with sufficiently large particles.
