Pseudomagnetic fields make light and sound emulate charged particles in magnetic fields, enabling magnetic‐free signal processing. This Review summarizes their origins, three implementations in two‐dimensional artificial lattices, and applications in energy localization and robust transport, guiding the design of topological integrated devices ...

Tunable Terahertz Generation in Dispersion‐Engineered ZnTe Waveguides
A dispersion‐engineered Zinc Telluride (ZnTe) slab waveguide platform enables tunable and efficient guided‐wave terahertz (THz) generation through modal phase matching. By tailoring the optical and THz modal dispersion, coherent THz emission is achieved across 0.1–3 THz.

A Nearly Perfect Implementation of a Broadband Optical Null Media via Space‐Folding
A space‐folding optical null medium with impedance‐matching layers enables broadband directional wave projection and wavefront engineering. By tailoring the folding ratio and dilution ratio, the structure maintains near‐unity transmittance over 5–9 GHz.

Generating Helical Polymorphic Beams Using Dielectric Metasurfaces
Helix‐shaped polymorphic beams are optical fields whose intensity maxima spiral around the propagation axis, enabling particle manipulation through attractive or repulsive forces. Traditionally requiring expensive spatial light modulators, metasurfaces now provide a compact, cost‐effective alternative. This work demonstrates general helical polymorphic

Spatially Uniform and Defect‐Tolerant Plasmonic Responses in 3D Printed Gold Nanoparticle Assemblies
We introduce 3D nanoprinting of gold nanoparticle assemblies and show that their broad optical responses remain reproducible despite structural disorder. This robustness is attributed to ensemble‐averaged plasmonic responses from many local coupling regions.

A dual‐layer metasurface is integrated on a fiber‐array facet to realize compact, plug‐and‐play free‐space optical links with cylindrical vector beam (CVB) space‐division multiplexing. An optimized off‐axis collimation layer steers multiple channels, while a Dammann vortex layer performs polarization–topology conversion for bidirectional CVB (de ...

A Self‐Evolving Agentic Framework for Metasurface Inverse Design
Turning a target optical response into working inverse‐design code normally demands specialized computational‐electromagnetics and software‐engineering expertise. A self‐evolving agentic framework lowers this barrier: from a natural‐language request, it writes the optimization code that drives a physical solver and improves itself by revising human ...

Compact Single‐Shot Incoherent Edge Detection With a Polarization‐Multiplexed Metalens
A polarization‐sensitive metalens enables single‐shot incoherent edge detection by generating two polarization‐dependent images and digitally subtracting them to realize a high‐pass optical transfer function. ABSTRACT Edge detection under incoherent illumination is highly desirable for compact vision systems but remains challenging due to the lack of ...

Drive‐Efficient GHz‐Rate Binary‐State Updates Enabled by VCSEL Polarization Switching
Photonic computing needs a compact node that can hold a binary state and update it fast. A vertical‐cavity surface‐emitting laser biased at its polarization‐switching point could serve as one: its two orthogonal linear polarizations are the two states, and a small electrical drive is enough to move the output from one state to the other at gigahertz ...

Programmable Multidimensional Diffraction Engineering via an Optically Addressed Nested Fourier Metasurface [PDF]
An optically addressed nested Fourier metasurface is presented for programmable multidimensional diffraction routing without electrical interconnects. Local Fourier‐mode engineering combined with global superlattice diffraction enables on‐demand reconfigurable routing.
