Programmable hyper-coded holography has the advantage of being programmable as well as being flexibly modifiable. Digitally coded metamaterials with excellent electromagnetic modulation capability and the ability to control the phase to modulate the spatial radiation field through external excitation in the form of switching can be used to realize low-cost digital arrays. We design a 1-bit encoded programmable metasurface, which is electrically connected to control the PIN diode in the switching state and to switch the condition of each metasurface cell between “0” and “1.” Using the designed programmable metasurface, we can randomly encode the cell structure to realize single-focus focusing, multi-focusing, and simple holographic letter imaging. Based on the nonlinear holographic model, we employ the Gerchberg-Saxton improvement algorithm to modulate the energy distribution at the focus by adjusting the phase distribution. Importantly, we introduce the Fourier convolution principle to regulate the holographic imaging focus flexibly.

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a high quality (Q)-factor all-silicon bound state in the continuum (BIC) metasurface with an imperforated air-hole array. The metasurface supports two polarization-insensitive BICs originated from guided mode resonances (GMRs) in the frequency range of 0.4 to 0.6 THz, and the measured Q-factors of the two GMRs are as high as 334 and 152, respectively. In addition, the influence of the thickness of the silicon substrate on the two resonances is analyzed in detail. The proposed all-silicon THz metasurface has great potential in the design and application of high-Q metasurfaces.

Optical metasurfaces are two-dimensional ultrathin devices based on single-layer or multilayer arrays of subwavelength nanostructures. They can achieve precise control of phase, amplitude, and polarization on the subwavelength scale. In this paper, a substrate-free all-silicon coded grating is designed, which can realize the phase control of the outgoing beam after the y-polarized plane wave is vertically incident on the metasurface at 0.1 THz. Through a single-layer silicon nanoarray structure, a low-reflection anomalous transmission metasurface is realized, and a variety of different beam deflectors are designed based on these encoded gratings. We propose a coded grating addition principle, which adds and subtracts two traditional coded grating sequences to obtain a new coded grating sequence. The encoded supergrating can flexibly control the scattering angle, and the designed substrate-free all-silicon encoded grating can achieve a deflection angle of 48.59°. In order to verify the principle of coded grating addition, we experimented with cascade operation of two coded sequence gratings to obtain the flexible control of the terahertz beam of the composite supergrating. The principle of grating addition provides a new degree of freedom for the flexible regulation of the terahertz wavefront. At the same time, this method can be extended to the optical band or microwave band, opening up new ways for electromagnetic wave manipulation and beam scanning.

Tunable metamaterial absorbers play an important role in terahertz imaging and detection. We propose a multifunctional metamaterial absorber based on doped silicon. By introducing resonance and impedance matching into the absorber, a broadband absorption greater than 90% in the range of 0.8–10 THz is achieved. At the same time, the light regulation characteristics of the doped semiconductor are introduced into the absorber, and the precise amplitude control can be achieved in the range of 0.1–1.2 THz by changing the pump luminous flux. In addition, based on the principle of light-regulating the concentration of doped silicon carriers, the medium-doped silicon material is replaced by a highly doped silicon material, and a sensor with a sensitivity of up to 500 GHz/RIU is realized by combining the wave absorber with the microfluidic control. Finally, the broadband absorption characteristics and sensing performance of alcohol and water on the prepared device are verified by experiments, indicating that the absorber may have great potential in the field of sensor detection.

High-Q metasurfaces have important applications in high-sensitivity sensing, low-threshold lasers, and nonlinear optics due to the strong local electromagnetic field enhancements. Although ultra-high-Q resonances of bound states in the continuum (BIC) metasurfaces have been rapidly developed in the optical regime, it is still a challenging task in the terahertz band for long years because of absorption loss of dielectric materials, design, and fabrication of nanostructures, and the need for high-signal-to-noise ratio and high-resolution spectral measurements. Here, a polarization-insensitive quasi-BIC resonance with a high-Q factor of 1049 in a terahertz all-silicon metasurface is experimentally achieved, exceeding the current highest record by 3 times of magnitude. And by using this ultra-high-Q metasurface, a terahertz intensity modulation with very low optical pump power is demonstrated. The proposed all-silicon metasurface can pave the way for the research and development of high-Q terahertz metasurfaces.

Anapole metamaterials have attracted growing attention in recent years due to their unique nonradiating and nontrivial properties. Although anapole modes have been demonstrated in metamaterials with three-dimensional structures, the design and realization of planar anapole metamaterials in a wide frequency range is still a big challenge. Here we propose and experimentally demonstrate a planar anapole metamaterial consisting of dumbbell-shaped apertures on a stainless-steel sheet at terahertz frequencies. The planar metamaterial can generate a resonant transparency in the terahertz spectrum due to the excitation of the anapole mode. Particularly, the frequency of anapole-induced resonant transparency can be tuned easily in the range of 0.15–0.93 THz by simply varying one geometric parameter of the dumbbell apertures. We anticipate that the resonant transparency in planar anapole metamaterials can be potentially used in filters, sensors, or other photonic devices.

随着激光技术的快速发展，激光光源在光谱辐射和光学特性测量中得到了广泛的应用。与传统的灯光源相比，激光光源具有高功率、宽光谱和极低的波长不确定度等优点。建立了一套基于宽波段可调谐激光光源的光电探测器响应定标装置，其中激光光源的光谱覆盖范围为190 nm～4000 nm，激光脉冲宽度约130 fs，重复频率约80 MHz。为了避免高峰值功率脉冲光对探测器定标的影响并提高测量的线性度，利用光纤的固有特性成功研制了一种可将脉冲光转换成连续光的转换器。同时基于激光光源搭建了一套激光准直和扩束光路，在波长λ=550 nm时得到了非均匀性为0.29%的单色均匀辐射场。该单色均匀辐射场在高精度的探测器定标应用中具有重要的作用，围绕其搭建的定标测量装置在计量领域具有一定的参考价值。
