Grating‐Lens Empowered Metafiber for Large‐Angle Light Collection With 3D Nanoprinted Structures
Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.A grating‐lens‐based Metafiber enables efficient light coupling into single‐mode fibers at large incidence angles. By combining diffraction and focusing on the fiber facet using a 3D nanoprinted holographic structure, light is selectively coupled only at specific angles while suppressing unwanted signals. This approach achieves high coupling efficiency

Theory of Supercritical Coupling and Generalized Bound States in the Continuum
Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.We develop a general theory of supercritical coupling and generalized bound states in the continuum (gBICs), revealing how interference between radiative and absorptive channels enables quality factors beyond conventional material‐loss limits. The framework unifies non‐Hermitian mode coupling, causality‐driven reactive interactions, and interference ...

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.An etchless lithium niobate (LN) metasurface with a slanted periodic TiO2 grating enables efficient and narrowband second‐harmonic generation (SHG) thanks to the light confinement in the LN film granted by quasi‐bound‐state‐in‐the‐continuum (q‐BIC) modes.

Parallel Multi‐Target Detection for Quantum LiDAR
Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.Parallel multi‐target detection is achieved in quantum LiDAR with a single‐pixel quantum readout. Direction and distance information are extracted together, allowing multiple objects to be distinguished under noisy low‐light conditions and pointing to a new strategy for scan‐free quantum remote sensing.
