Grating under auto-collimation configuration with polarization-independent high diffraction efficiency plays an important role in the displacement measurement system, spectral beam combining system and so on. In this paper, we proposed, for the first time, a reflective two-dimensional metal-dielectric grating of which the (-1, -1) order beam is diffracted back along the input light direction, when the incident azimuth angle is 45°. With optimized structure, the (-1, -1) order diffraction efficiencies of transverse electric polarization (TE) and transverse magnetic polarization (TM) are 95.01 % and 95.04 % at incident wavelength of 632 nm, respectively. The structure based on the frustum of a cone performs well in manufacturing tolerance, which provides possibility for practical applications. A grating is fabricated experimentally in this research. The high efficiencies of TE and TM polarization have great application potential in 2D displacement measurement technique and high power laser systems.

Significant progress has been made through the optimization of modelling and device architecture solar cells has proven to be a valuable and highly effective approach for gaining a deeper understanding of the underlying physical processes in solar cells. Consequently, this research has conducted a two-dimensional (2D) perovskite solar cells (PSCs) simulation to develop an accurate model. The approach utilized in this study is based on the finite element method (FEM).

The optical filter consists of a two-dimensional array of metal-dielectric-metal thin films arranged in Fabry-Pérot filter configurations with discretely varying cavity thicknesses. The wavelength-selective characterization of each filter is performed by measuring the transmittance over the visible wavelength range.

Electrically tunable hyperbolic polaritons in two dimensional (2D) materials can offer unexplored opportunities in integrating photonics and nano-optoelectronics into a single chip. Here, we suggest that monolayer NaWOBr can host electrically tunable hyperbolic plasmon polaritons for infrared light first-principles calculations. 2D monolayer NaWOBr exhibits an extremely anisotropic metallic property: conducting for one direction but almost insulating for the other direction, which could be considered as a 2D analogue of metal/dielectric multilayers, a typical structure for hyperbolic metamaterials.

Current multiscale plasmonic systems pose a modeling challenge. Classical macroscopic theories fail to capture quantum effects in such systems, whereas quantum electrodynamics is impractical given the total size of the experimentally relevant systems, as the number of interactions is too large to be addressed one by one. To tackle the challenge, in this paper we propose to use the Madelung form of the hydrodynamic Drude model, in which the quantum effect electron spill-out is incorporated by describing the metal-dielectric interface using a super-Gaussian function.
