Optical Phased Arrays on Photonic Integrated Circuit Platforms: Challenges, Opportunities, and Future Applications

open access: yesNanophotonics, Volume 15, Issue 14, 27 July 2026.
Integrated optical phased arrays are emerging as scalable engines for solid‐state beam steering and programmable wavefront control. This Review maps the field from beam‐steering principles and core building blocks to material platforms, system‐level bottlenecks, and application frontiers, highlighting how heterogeneous integration, aperiodic ...

Vortex Light Bullets Guided by Disclination Defects

open access: yesNanophotonics, Volume 15, Issue 14, 27 July 2026.
A new class of stable and thresholdless light bullets carrying vorticity, guided by the disclination defects introduced into Su–Schrieffer–Heeger‐like lattices with a focusing cubic nonlinearity, is reported. Different discrete rotational symmetry of the aperiodic lattice determines the allowed values of the topological charge of the vortex bullets ...

Three‐Dimensional Array Multicasting of Cylindrical Vector Beams Using Spin‐Multiplexed Dammann Vortex Metasurface

open access: yesNanophotonics, Volume 15, Issue 14, 27 July 2026.
This study demonstrates, for the first time, a 3D volumetric cylindrical vector beam (CVB) multicasting architecture that employs multichannel array modes with an operational dimension of 3 × 3 × 5 as information carriers. This approach offers substantial potential for high‐capacity information dissemination in mode‐multiplexed communication networks ...

Inverse‐Designed Silicon Nitride Bimodal Mode Converter for Interferometric Sensors

open access: yesNanophotonics, Volume 15, Issue 14, 27 July 2026.
Inverse‐designed bimodal mode converters are demonstrated on two silicon nitride platforms. The devices convert the fundamental mode into near‐balanced pairs of the fundamental and higher‐order modes up to the third order. They are compact and fabrication‐tolerant. Characterization of a bimodal interferometer incorporating these converters demonstrates
