Published: September 2008

We have fabricated in-plane slanted gratings on azo-functionalized polymeric films using a fast, direct-writing method. By properly adjusting the resonance, these gratings can be used as 90 degrees integrated reflectors and add/drop filters in the plane of the film. We have produced an attenuation of 14.8 dB at 1560.2 nm with a FWHM of 6.47 nm. Also, a signal of 1548 nm wavelength was added to the output from a different direction. Any light shifted from the resonance will pass through the filter undisturbed.

High-Q intrinsic quasi-bound states in the continuum (QBICs) require three-dimensional (3D) geometries with both in-plane and out-of-plane mirror symmetry breakings, hindering practical implementations due to the complex architectures. Here we demonstrate that high-Q intrinsic QBICs can be flexibly controlled by using the engineered 2.5D phase-change metasurfaces of GeSbTe (GST).

Observation of intrinsic chiral bound states in the continuum.

Photons with spin angular momentum possess intrinsic chirality, which underpins many phenomena including nonlinear optics, quantum optics, topological photonics and chiroptics. Intrinsic chirality is weak in natural materials, and recent theoretical proposals aimed to enlarge circular dichroism by resonant metasurfaces supporting bound states in the continuum that enhance substantially chiral light-matter interactions. Those insightful works resort to three-dimensional sophisticated geometries, which are too challenging to be realized for optical frequencies.

It is essential to release annealing induced strain during the crystallization process to realize efficient and stable perovskite solar cells (PSCs), which does not seem achievable using the conventional annealing process. Here we report a novel and facile thermal gradient assisted crystallization strategy by simply introducing a slant angle between the preheated hot plate and the substrate. A distinct crystallization sequence resulted along the in-plane direction pointing from the hot side to the cool side, which effectively reduced the crystallization rate, controlled the perovskite grain growth, and released the in-plane tensile strain.

We propose and design a flat optical phased array (OPA) receiver that consists of a grating antenna, a free-propagation region (FPR) incorporating an on-chip metalens concentrator (OCMC), and an output port of a tapered waveguide. By concatenating the OCMC-integrated FPR with the antenna, the proposed OPA allows light coupled at a slanted ψ angle to be conveyed to the output, thereby resolving the challenges of phase-controlled light detection. To impose a space-dependent phase on the incident light from the antenna, the OCMC is constructed by laterally arranging subwavelength slot meta-atoms with varying slot lengths, which are created in the core layer of a slab and uniformly quantized at 16 phase levels.

Eigenmode operation of piezoelectric resonant gyroscopes.

The theory of eigenmode operation of Coriolis vibratory gyroscopes and its implementation on a thin-film piezoelectric gyroscope is presented. It is shown analytically that the modal alignment of resonant gyroscopes can be achieved by applying a rotation transformation to the actuation and sensing directions regardless of the transduction mechanism. This technique is especially suitable for mode matching of piezoelectric gyroscopes, obviating the need for narrow capacitive gaps or DC polarization voltages.
