Hyperdoped silicon (hSi) fabricated via femtosecond laser irradiation has emerged as a promising photoelectric material with strong broadband infrared (IR) absorption. In this work, we measured the optical absorptance of the hSi in the wavelength of 0.3-16.7 µm. Unlike the near to mid wavelength IR absorption, the mid-long wavelength IR (M-LWIR) absorption is heavily dependent on the surface morphology and the dopants. Furthermore, calculations based on coherent potential approximation (CPA) reveal the origin of free carrier absorption, which plays an important role in the M-LWIR absorption. As a result, a more comprehensive picture of the IR absorption mechanism is drawn for the optoelectronic applications of the hSi.

Metamaterial absorbers show great potential in many scientific and technological applications by virtue of their sub-wavelength and easy-to-adjust structure, with bandwidth as an important standard to measure the performance of the absorbers. In this study, our team designed a new broadband absorber, which consists of an indium arsenide (InAs) disk at the top, a zinc selenide (ZnSe)-chromium (Cr) stacked disk in the middle and a metal film at the bottom. Simulation results show that the absorber has remarkable absorptivity properties in the mid-long infrared band.

Skin-like soft optical metamaterials with broadband modulation have been long pursued for practical applications, such as cloaking and camouflage. Here, we propose a skin-like metamaterial for dual-band camouflage based on unique Au nanoparticles assembled hollow pillars (NPAHP), which are implemented by the bottom-up template-assisted self-assembly processes. This dual-band camouflage realizes simultaneously high visible absorptivity (~0.

Interminable surveillance and reconnaissance through various sophisticated multispectral detectors present threats to military equipment and manpower. However, a combination of detectors operating in different wavelength bands (from hundreds of nanometers to centimeters) and based on different principles raises challenges to the conventional single-band camouflage devices. In this paper, multispectral camouflage is demonstrated for the visible, mid-infrared (MIR, 3-5 and 8-14 μm), lasers (1.

Using an 8 µm long-wave infrared laser as the fundamental wave, we achieved second-harmonic generation (SHG) and sum-frequency generation simultaneously in and obtained a 4 µm laser output. Among them, SHG was achieved in the 173 nm spectral range of the fundamental wave, which was consistent with theoretical calculations. The average power of the obtained 4 µm laser was 41 mW, corresponding to an optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 3.
