Sub‐Diffraction and Irreversibly Tunable Imaging With Potato Starch Lenses

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Native potato starch granules function as sustainable birefringent microlenses that enable polarization‐controlled conventional and vortex lensing via spin‐to‐orbital angular momentum conversion. They provide sub‐diffraction and spiral‐contrast imaging, support vortex‐array generation with controllable topological‐charge sign, exhibit irreversible ...

Analysis and Optimization of the Sandwiched Metal-Dielectric Polarizing Beam Splitter Grating

open access: yesIEEE Photonics Journal, 2016
A reflective sandwiched polarizing beam splitter (PBS) grating with a connecting layer in Littrow mounting is described and designed in this paper. By using two-beam-interference theory for a modal method, a duty cycle and a period of grating can be ...

Understanding Inhomogeneous Crystallization Dynamics of Phase‐Change Materials in the Vicinity of Metallic Nanoantennas

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Metallic dimer antennas on top of the phase‐change material Ge3Sb2Te6 are addressed with laser pulses, resulting in inhomogeneous crystallization. A self‐consistent multiphysics model is employed to simulate the crystallization and to understand the resulting shift of the antenna resonance.

Massively Degenerate Coherent Perfect Absorption in Gradient‐Index Fibers

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
A coherent perfect absorber (CPA) normally operates for only one or very few spatial modes. The CPA proposed here uses a gradient‐index (GRIN) fiber to absorb hundreds of spatial modes at once, its self‐imaging property replacing the bulky free‐space degenerate cavity of earlier designs. An analytic criterion sets how much modal degeneracy is required,

Compression and broadening of phase-conjugate pulses in photorefractive self-pumped phase conjugator

open access: yes, 2000
Pulse propagation and shaping are investigated in photorefractive self-pumped phase conjugators in both transmission- and reflection-grating regimes. The dispersion properties of self-pumped phase conjugators are analyzed by taking into account both the ...

Helix Alignment, Chevrons, and Edge Dislocations in Twist‐Bend Ferroelectric Nematics

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The recently discovered twist‐bend ferroelectric nematic (NTBF) is the new member of the multiferroic family, representing a fluid with an oblique helicoidal (heliconical) periodic structure of spontaneous electric polarization. The work presents a thorough exploration of the material properties of this phase, how the periodic modulation of ...

New High‐Tc Charge‐Transfer Multiferroicity in the Quasi‐2D Antiferromagnet CrSbS3

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Low‐dimensional magnets, particularly 2D systems, offer a rich platform for realizing unconventional multiferroic mechanisms, especially when multiple polarization channels coexist. In the quasi‐2D antiferromagnet CrSbS3, which crystallizes in the centrosymmetric orthorhombic space group Pnma and orders magnetically at TN ≈ 90 K, two ...

A Compound Modulation Diffraction Grating

open access: yes, 2011
A compound modulation diffraction grating is brought forward, and successful acting as a beam splitter. Compared with beam splitters made with this traditional single modulation grating, the beam splitter made with the compound modulated grating has some
