Dielectric metasurfaces have made significant advancements in the past decade for enhancing light-matter interaction at the nanoscale. Particularly, bound states in the continuum (BICs) based on dielectric metasurfaces have been employed to enhance nonlinear harmonic generation. However, conventional nonlinear metasurfaces are typically fixed in their operating wavelength after fabrication.

Chlorophylls are photoactive molecular building blocks essential to most photosynthetic systems. They have comparatively simple optical spectra defined by states with near-orthogonal transition dipole moments, referred to as B and B in the blue/green spectral region, and Q and Q in the red. Underlying these spectra is a surprisingly complex electronic structure, where strong electronic-vibrational interactions are crucial to the description of state characters.

This study proposes what we believe to be a novel design method for various all-optical logic devices, including a complete set of all-optical Boolean logic gates and a polarization-controlled 1 × 4 optical switch, utilizing polarization holography. Through the angle multiplexing technique, specially designed polarization holograms are recorded in polarization-sensitive material, transforming it into all-optical Boolean logic gates and a polarization-controlled 1 × 4 optical switch.

Fueled by the rapid advancement of nanofabrication, metasurface has provided unprecedented opportunities for 3D holography. Large depth 3D meta-holography not only greatly increases information storage capacity, but also enables distinguishing of the relative spatial relationship of 3D objects, which has important applications in fields like optical information storage and medical diagnosis. Although the methods based on Fresnel diffraction theory can reconstruct the real depth information of 3D objects, the maximum depth is only 2 mm.

Atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) with ambient stable exciton resonances have emerged as an ideal material platform for exciton-polaritons. In particular, the strong coupling between excitons in TMDs and optical resonances in anisotropic photonic nanostructures can form exciton-polaritons with polarization selectivity, which offers a new degree of freedom for the manipulation of the light-matter interaction. In this work, we present the experimental demonstration of polarization-controlled exciton-polaritons in tungsten disulfide (WS) strongly coupled with polarization singularities in the momentum space of low-symmetry photonic crystal (PhC) nanostructures.
