Static phase gradient metasurface antenna enabling synergistic radiation-scattering function integration

New Journal of Physics
This paper presents a metasurface antenna with both radiation and scattering characteristics. First, a symmetric slotted patch antenna unit is designed and its operating frequency is tuned to the 8.4–9.4 GHz (11.2%) range. Subsequently, incorporating the

Optical Skyrmions with Tunable or Reconfigurable Topology Using Spin‐Decoupled Metaoptics

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
The work introduces advanced optical elements capable of generating and dynamically reconfiguring complex light patterns known as optical skyrmions. By precisely shaping light polarization at the nanoscale, a single engineered metasurface can generate and manipulate robust and tunable polarization textures in an efficient and scalable way.

Near‐Infrared Polarimetric Imaging With Nonlinear Flat‐Optics

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A compact and broadband polarimetric imaging platform is presented, based on second‐harmonic generation (SHG) in nonlinear flat‐optics. The system employs periodic all‐dielectric AlGaAs gratings to induce polarization‐dependent SH emission, enabling pixel by pixel direct retrieval of the full Stokes vector from an input intensity distribution ...

Applications of metasurfaces in antennas design

, 2016
This thesis presents the applications of metasurface (MS) in the design of reconfigurable antennas, small MS lens antenna, miniaturized patch antenna and dual-band slot antenna, all implemented using planar technology. A MS is proposed to convert a linearly polarized (LP) antenna to a circularly polarized (CP) antenna.

Revealing the Resonant Physics of Open Photonic Time Crystals

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Photonic time crystals (PTCs) are media whose permittivity is modulated periodically in time, enabling momentum bandgaps and parametric amplification of light. Their realization at the nanoscale can revolutionize the study of light‐matter interactions.

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 ...

Reconfigurable Giant Nonreciprocity at Near‐Normal Incidence via Phase‐Change Magneto‐Optical Metagratings

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
A phase‐change magneto‐optical metagrating combines GST switching with InAs guided‐mode resonances to achieve strong nonreciprocal absorption contrast near normal incidence. A static magnetic bias creates direction‐dependent resonant splitting, while GST crystallization quenches and latches the response.

Novel Sulfur‐Rich Polymers from Inverse Vulcanization as Functional Building Blocks for Photonics

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Isopropenyl aromatic comonomers, in particular novel 2,7‐diisopropenylfluorene and 2,8‐diisopropenyldibenzothiophene, synthesized by sustainable, facile, single‐step SMCCR from available brominated substrates are exploited in the Inverse Vulcanization process to obtain functional Sulfur‐rich macromolecular materials.
