Synthesizing ultrafast optical pulses with arbitrary spatiotemporal control

October 26, 2022
Author(s)
Lu Chen, Wenqi Zhu, Pengcheng Huo, Junyeob Song, Henri Lezec, Ting Xu, Amit Agrawal
The ability to control the instantaneous state of light – its phase, amplitude, polarization, or wavefront – of high-energy pulses down to the single-photon level is an indispensable and a necessary requirement in photonics. This has, for example

Broadband Nanoscale Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy by Multiresonant Nanolaminate Plasmonic Nanocavities on Vertical Nanopillars

August 8, 2022
Author(s)
Meitong Nie, Yuming Zhao, Wonil Nam, Junyeob Song, Wenqi Zhu, Henri Lezec, Amit Agrawal, Wei Zhou
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has become a sensitive detection technique for biochemical analysis. Despite significant research efforts, most SERS substrates consisting of single-resonant plasmonic nanostructures on the planar surface suffer

Full-Stokes polarimetry for visible light enabled by an all-dielectric metasurface

February 20, 2022
Author(s)
Yongze Ren, Shihao Guo, Wenqi Zhu, Pengcheng Huo, Sijia Liu, Song Zhang, Peng Chen, Lu Chen, Henri Lezec, Amit Agrawal, Yanqing Lu, Ting Xu
Decoding arbitrary polarization information from an optical field has triggered unprecedented endeavors in polarization imaging, remote sensing and information processing. Therefore, developing a polarization detection device with full on-chip integration

Generation of perfect vortex beams by dielectric geometric metasurface for visible light

October 31, 2021
Author(s)
Qianwei Zhou, Mingze Liu, Wenqi Zhu, Lu Chen, Yongze Ren, Henri Lezec, Yanqing Lu, Ting Xu, Amit Agrawal
Perfect vortex beam (PVB) is a propagating optical field carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) with a radial intensity profile that is independent of topological charge. PVB can be generated through the Fourier transform of a Bessel-Gaussian beam, which

Interfacing Photonics to Free-Space via Large-area Inverse-designed Diffraction Elements and Metasurfaces

June 6, 2021
Author(s)
Alexander Yulaev, Wenqi Zhu, Chad Ropp, Daron Westly, Gregory Simelgor, Cheng Zhang, Henri Lezec, Amit Agrawal, Vladimir Aksyuk
Large-area inverse-designed photonic gratings and optical metasurfaces directly couple waveguides to wide free-space modes with custom wavefronts and polarizations in the visible and near-infrared. Design, modeling methods and experimental results are

Multifunctional metasurfaces enabled by simultaneous and independent control of phase and amplitude for orthogonal polarization states

May 25, 2021
Author(s)
Mingze Liu, Wenqi Zhu, Pengcheng Huo, Lei Feng, Maowen Song, Cheng Zhang, Lu Chen, Henri Lezec, Yanqing Lu, Amit Agrawal, Ting Xu
Monochromatic light can be characterized by its three fundamental properties: amplitude, phase and polarization. In this work, we propose a versatile, transmission-mode all-dielectric metasurface platform that can independently manipulate the phase and

Broadband generation of perfect Poincare beams via dielectric spin-multiplexed metasurface

April 13, 2021
Author(s)
Mingze Liu, Pengcheng Huo, Wenqi Zhu, Cheng Zhang, Si Zhang, Maowen Song, Song Zhang, Qianwei Zhou, Lu Chen, Henri Lezec, Amit Agrawal, Yanqing Lu, Ting Xu
Poincaré beam, which describes the space-variant polarization of a light beam carrying spin angular momentum (SAM) and orbital angular momentum (OAM), plays an important role in various optical applications. Since the radius of a Poincaré beam depends on

Independent Amplitude Control of Arbitrary Orthogonal States of Polarization via Dielectric Metasurfaces

December 23, 2020

Qingbin Fan, Mingze Liu, Cheng Zhang, Wenqi Zhu, Yilin Wang, Peicheng Lin, Feng Yan, Lu Chen, Henri Lezec, Yanqing Lu, Amit Agrawal, Ting Xu
Exquisite polarization control using optical metasurfaces has attracted considerable attention thanks to their ability to manipulate multichannel independent wavefronts with subwavelength resolution. Here we present a new class of metasurface polarization

Plasmonic Electronic Raman Scattering as Internal Standard for Spatial and Temporal Calibration in Quantitative Surface-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy

October 28, 2020
Author(s)
Wonil Nam, Yuming Zhao, Junyeob Song, Seied Ali Safiabadi Tali, Seju Kang, Wenqi Zhu, Henri Lezec, Amit Agrawal, Peter J. Vikesland, Wei Zhou
Ultrasensitive surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) still faces difficulties in quantitative analysis because of its susceptibility to local optical field variations at plasmonic hotspots in metallo-dielectric nanostructures. Current SERS calibration
