In this paper, we propose a reconfigurable metadevice with independent polarization control based on a 90° rotationally symmetric microstructure. Three functionalities of broadband high-efficiency transmission, broadband high-efficiency reflection, and perfect absorption are switched by the on-state and off-state PIN diodes. Coding metadevices designed with diversified lumped element combinations are further studied in detail. By controlling the two diodes on the top layer in opposite states, absorption bandwidth is significantly improved. Reasonable arrangements of coding sequences allow for reflected dual/multi-beam modulation. Electric field distribution, power loss, complex impedance functions, and equivalent circuit models are used to better analyze the physical mechanism of the design. A prototype of the microstructure has been fabricated, and the experimental results agree well with the simulation. Electronic components integrated microstructures with high degrees of freedom have potential applications in intelligent wireless communication, electronic detection, advanced sensors, and smart stealth radomes.

A transparent fluoroborosilicate glass ceramic was designed for the controllable precipitation of fluoride nanocrystals and to greatly enhance the photoluminescence of active ions. Through the introduction of BO into fluorosilicate glass, the melting temperature was decreased from 1400 to 1050 °C, and the abnormal crystallization in the fabrication process of fluorosilicate glass was avoided. More importantly, the controlled crystallizations of KZnF and KYbF in fluoroborosilicate glass ceramics enhanced the emission of Mn and Mn-Yb dimers by 6.

Prominent platforms based on thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) are superior integrated-photonics platforms for efficient optical parametric amplification (OPA), however, previously few studies have been systematically reported the gain-boosting performance of TFLN waveguides compared to bulk LN waveguides. Here, we optimize two TFLN waveguides with dispersion engineering for high-efficiency and ultra-broadband gain of OPA, then report comparative results about the efficient ultra-broadband OPA of TFLN waveguides in the case of low loss, optimized waveguide length and pump power. Note that the efficient ultra-broadband OPA of TFLN waveguides is represented by the peak gain (71.

A focused laser beam from an ultrafast optical oscillator propagates in the LiNbO layer and emits a Cherenkov cone of terahertz radiation to the Si semicone. The radiation is totally internally reflected by the semicone's convex surface and escapes the semicone through its base as a collimated beam.

Inverse design with topology optimization considers a promising methodology for discovering new optimized photonic structure that enables to break the limitations of the forward or the traditional design especially for the meta-structure. This work presents a high efficiency mid infra-red imaging photonics element along mid infra-red wavelengths band starts from 2 to 5 µm based on silicon nitride optimized material structures. The first two designs are broadband focusing and reflective meta-lens under very high numerical aperture condition (NA = 0.

Featuring the capabilities of self-power, low dark current, and broadband response, photothermoelectric (PTE) detection demonstrates great potential for application in the military and civilian fields. The development of materials with an intrinsically high efficiency for PTE energy conversion and the in-depth study of its thermoelectric properties on the device performance are of great significance. Here, we reported a quasi-one-dimensional (quasi-1D) van der Waals (vdW) TaSe crystal as a promising material candidate for PTE detection.
