Reconfigurable photonic devices are important constituents for future optical integrated circuits, where electro-optic manipulation of the light field in a lithium niobate (LN) waveguide is one of the promising solutions. Herein, we demonstrate a paradigm shift of the beam steering mechanism where reconfigurable beam steering is enabled by the wavefront shaping technology. Furthermore, this strategy is fully compatible with the electro-optic tuning mechanism of the LN multimode waveguide, where microstructured serrated array electrodes are employed to fine tune the output beam upon its reconfigurable output position. Our results provide new, to the best of our knowledge, insight for molding the flow of light in multimode waveguides and shed new light on beam steering photonic devices.

We present a novel photoreconfigurable metasurface designed for independent and efficient control of electromagnetic waves with identical incident polarization and frequency across the entire spatial domain. The proposed metasurface features a three-layer architecture: a top layer incorporating a gold circular split ring resonator (CSRR) filled with perovskite material and dual -shaped perovskite resonators; a middle layer of polyimide dielectric; and a bottom layer comprising a perovskite substrate with an oppositely oriented circular split ring resonator filled with gold. By modulating the intensity of a laser beam, we achieve autonomous manipulation of incident circularly polarized terahertz waves in both transmission and reflection modes.

Existing tunable optical metasurfaces based on the electro-optic effect are either complex in structure or have a limited phase modulation range. In this paper, a simple rectangular metasurface structure based on a Pb(MgNb)O-PbTiO (PMN-PT) crystal with high electro-optic coefficient of 120 pm/V was designed to demonstrate its electrically tunable performance in the optical communication band through simulations. By optimizing the structure parameters, a tunable metasurface was generated that can induce a complete 2π phase shift for beam deflection while maintaining relatively uniform transmittance.

Developing switchable and multifunctional metasurfaces is essential for high-integration photonics. However, most previous studies encountered challenges such as limited degrees of freedom, simple tuning of predefined functionality, and complicated control systems. Here, we develop a general strategy to construct switchable and multifunctional metasurfaces.

Introduction: This paper describes a method to improve gantry-dependent beam steering for Elekta traveling wave linear accelerators by applying the measured and filtered beam servo corrections to the existing lookup table (LUT). Beam steering has a direct influence on the treatment accuracy by affecting the beam symmetry and position. The presented method provides an improved LUT with respect to the default Elekta method to reduce treatment delivery interruptions.
