激光致声混凝土内部空洞检测技术是一种针对混凝土脱空鼓包现象的遥感检测技术，具有检测快速，非接触等特点，满足了在一些不方便进行接触式检测的场景下对混凝土内部空洞进行识别的需求。该技术的实现主要分为声波的激发以及声波的探测。文中聚焦声波激发这一部分，用加速度传感器替代激光测振仪，搭建了一套激光致声混凝土内部空洞检测系统，并对内部预制空洞的混凝土试块进行了检测。实验发现混凝土内部空洞的存在会改变空洞上方结构的抗弯刚度，当存在外部激励时，空洞上方的结构将会出现弯曲振动的现象，该振动的频率接近于振动结构的一阶固有频率。使用高功率密度的脉冲激光器可以方便地激发出缺陷区域的弯曲振动，当空洞缺陷较浅时，可以根据弯曲振动在频域的特征响应判断内部是否存在空洞。随着空洞深度的增加，空洞上方结构的抗弯刚度逐渐增强，弯曲振动的振幅减小，仅凭特征频率将难以实现内部空洞的识别。在这种情况下，可以利用表面振动信号的加速度能量谱来表征振动能量，通过振动能量的高低判断混凝土内部是否存在空洞。基于上述理论，成功探测到了混凝土内部深度为150 mm的空洞，验证了利用激光致声技术检测混凝土内部空洞的可行性。

Metasurfaces that can realize the polarization manipulation of electromagnetic waves on the sub-wavelength scale have become an emerging research field. Here, a novel strategy of combining the metasurface and Fresnel zone plate to form a metasurface zone plate is proposed to realize the conversion from nearly arbitrary polarizations to a fixed polarization. Specifically, when one polarized wave is incident on adjacent ring zones constructed by different types of meta-atoms, the transmitted waves generated by odd-numbered and even-numbered ring zones converge at the same focus and superimpose to generate a fixed polarized wave. As function demonstrations, we have designed two types of metasurface zone plates: one is a focused linear polarizer, and the other can convert nearly arbitrary polarized waves into focused circularly polarized waves. The simulated and measured results are consistent with theoretical expectations, suggesting that the proposed concept is flexible and feasible. Our work provides an alternative platform for polarization manipulation and may vigorously promote the development of polarization photonic devices.Metasurfaces that can realize the polarization manipulation of electromagnetic waves on the sub-wavelength scale have become an emerging research field.

Phase-modulated metasurfaces that can implement the independent manipulation of co- and cross-polarized output waves under circularly polarized (CP) incidence have been proposed. With this, we introduce one particular metasurface composed of meta-atoms with a phase difference of 2π/3 to generate specific elliptically polarized waves under various polarized incidences. Furthermore, a metasurface composed of these above meta-atoms and the meta-atoms with a phase difference of π/3 arranged in a certain rule can realize polarization conversion function between linearly polarized and CP states. The designs shed new light on multifarious optical devices and may further promote the development of metasurface polarization optics.

Polarization manipulation of electromagnetic wave or polarization multiplexed beam shaping based on metasurfaces has been reported in various frequency bands. However, it is difficult to shape the beam with multi-channel polarization conversion in a single metasurface. Here, we propose a new method for terahertz wavefront shaping with multi-channel polarization conversion via all-silicon metasurface, which is based on the linear shape birefringence effect in spatially interleaved anisotropic meta-atoms. By superimposing the eigen- and non-eigen-polarization responses of the two kinds of meta-atoms, we demonstrate the possibility for high-efficiency evolution of several typical polarization states with two independent channels for linearly polarized waves. The measured polarization conversion efficiency is higher than 70% in the range of 0.9–1.3 THz, with a peak value of 89.2% at 1.1 THz. In addition, when more other polarization states are incident, combined with the integration of sub-arrays, we can get more channels for both polarization conversion and beam shaping. Simulated and experimental results verify the feasibility of this method. The proposed method provides a new idea for the design of terahertz multi-functional metadevices.

The preparation of high-quality perovskite films with optimal morphologies is important for achieving high-performance perovskite photodetectors (PPDs). An effective strategy to optimize the morphologies is to add antisolvents during the spin-coating steps. In this work, a novel environment-friendly antisolvent tert-amyl alcohol (TAA) is employed first to improve the quality of perovskite films, which can effectively regulate the formation of an intermediate phase staged in between a liquid precursor phase and a solid perovskite phase due to its moderate polarity and further promote the homogeneous nucleation and crystal growth, thus leading to the formation of high-quality perovskite films and enhanced photodetector performance. As a result, the responsivity of the PPD reaches 1.56 A/W under the illumination of 532 nm laser with the power density of 6.37μW/cm2 at a bias voltage of -2V, which is good responsivity for PPDs with the vertical structure and only CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite as the photosensitive material. The corresponding detectivity reaches 1.47×1012 Jones, while the linear dynamic range reaches 110 dB. These results demonstrate that our developed green antisolvent TAA has remarkable advantages for the fabrication of high-performance PPDs and can provide a reference for similar research work.

Chiral metasurfaces based on asymmetric meta-atoms have achieved artificial circular dichroism (CD), spin-dependent wavefront control, near-field imaging, and other spin-related electromagnetic control. In this paper, we propose and experimentally verify a scheme for achieving high-efficiency chiral response similar to CD of terahertz (THz) wave via phase manipulation. By introducing the geometric phase and dynamic phase in an all-silicon metasurface, the spin-decoupled terahertz transmission is obtained. The giant circular dichroism-like effect in the transmission spectrum is observed by using a random phase distribution for one of the circular polarization components. More importantly, the effect can be adjusted when we change the area of the metasurface illuminated by an incident terahertz beam. In addition, we also demonstrate the spin-dependent arbitrary wavefront control of the transmitted terahertz wave, in which one of the circularly polarized components is scattered, while the other forms a focused vortex beam. Simulated and experimental results show that this method provides a new idea for spin selective control of THz waves.
