Generation of Optical Quasiparticles with Spin–Orbit Conversion in a Single Q‐Plate
Spin‐Orbit conversion approach with a q‐plate for generating optical quasiparticles. ABSTRACT In this work, we detail a novel approach which can be used for the generation of optical quasiparticles. This process leverages both spin‐orbit conversion control with wavelength de‐tuning in a commercially available q‐plate.

Non‐Uniform Programmable Photonic Waveguide Meshes
Integrating defect cells into uniform hexagonal waveguide meshes overcomes the fundamental spectral and temporal limitations of programmable photonics. By leveraging the Vernier effect through non‐uniform coupled cavities, this architecture achieves a tenfold increase in free spectral range and ultra‐fast sampling times, paving the way for next ...

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

Dual‐Polarization‐Sensitive Organic Photodetectors for Real‐Time Polarimetric Imaging
Bias‐switchable organic photodetectors with orthogonally stacked uniaxially oriented polymer layers enable dual‐polarization detection and real‐time polarimetric imaging. This scalable, template‐free strategy achieves a high dichroic ratio (>11), rapid response (>500 Hz), and detectivity up to 1013 Jones.
