High-resolution multi-color printing relies upon pixelated optical nanostructures, which is crucial to promote color display by producing nonbleaching colors, yet requires simplicity in fabrication and dynamic switching. Antimony trisulfide (Sb₂S₃) is a newly rising chalcogenide material that possesses prompt and significant transition of its optical characteristics in the visible region between amorphous and crystalline phases, which holds the key to color-varying devices. Herein, we proposed a dynamically switchable color printing method using Sb₂S₃-based stepwise pixelated Fabry-Pérot (FP) cavities with various cavity lengths. The device was fabricated by employing a direct laser patterning that is a less time-consuming, more approachable, and low-cost technique. As switching the state of Sb₂S₃ between amorphous and crystalline, the multi-color of stepwise pixelated FP cavities can be actively changed. The color variation is due to the profound change in the refractive index of Sb₂S₃ over the visible spectrum during its phase transition. Moreover, we directly fabricated sub-50 nm nano-grating on ultrathin Sb₂S₃ laminate via microsphere 800-nm femtosecond laser irradiation in far field. The minimum feature size can be further decreased down to ~45 nm (λ/17) by varying the thickness of Sb₂S₃ film. Ultrafast switchable Sb₂S₃ photonic devices can take one step toward the next generation of inkless erasable papers or displays and enable information encryption, camouflaging surfaces, anticounterfeiting, etc. Importantly, our work explores the prospects of rapid and rewritable fabrication of periodic structures with nano-scale resolution and can serve as a guideline for further development of chalcogenide-based photonics components.

The 1.4–1.8 µm eye-safe lasers have been widely used in the fields of laser medicine and laser detection and ranging. The diamond Raman lasers are capable of delivering excellent characteristics, such as good beam quality concomitantly with high output power. The intra-cavity diamond Raman lasers have the advantages of compactness and low Raman thresholds compared to the external-cavity Raman lasers. However, to date, the intra-cavity diamond cascaded Raman lasers in the spectral region of the eye-safe laser have an output power of only a few hundred milliwatts. A 1485 nm Nd:YVO₄/diamond intra-cavity cascaded Raman laser is reported in this paper. The mode matching and stability of the cavity were optimally designed by a V-shaped folded cavity, which yielded an average output power of up to 2.2 W at a pulse repetition frequency of 50 kHz with a diode to second-Stokes conversion efficiency of 8.1%. Meanwhile, the pulse width of the second-Stokes laser was drastically reduced from 60 ns of the fundamental laser to 1.1 ns, which resulted in a high peak power of 40 kW. The device also exhibited single longitudinal mode with a narrow spectral width of < 0.02 nm.

如今，人们对研究耦合腔面发射激光器结构的兴趣逐渐增加。这种结构通过向主腔施加调制电的同时向每个反馈腔施加直流电来实现带宽提升。然而，单独驱动主腔对器件性能的影响尚未得到深入研究。为了更全面地了解耦合腔激光器，我们设计并制备了边长为30 μm×30 μm的方形横向耦合腔VCSEL，并研究了在方形横向耦合腔中单独驱动主腔时器件性能的变化。室温下，-3 dB带宽达30.1 GHz，在非归零调制下，在背对背传输速率40 Gbit/s时获得清晰的眼图，相对强度噪声值为-160 dB/Hz。证明了反馈腔在不加驱动的条件下仍会对主腔的性能提供正向作用。设计的TCC-VCSEL器件只需要一个电源驱动，使其适用于高密度集成，为封装集成应用提供了新的思路。

光学频率梳（简称光频梳）作为一种优秀的多波长光源在通信领域具有巨大的应用潜力。通过将光频梳光源与波分复用技术（WDM）、空分复用技术结合（SDM），通信系统可以具有百Tbit/s量级的传输速率，在5G/6G通信、物联网、自动驾驶等方面具有重要的应用价值。目前实现光频梳的方法主要有以下四种，分别为基于锁模激光器产生飞秒光频梳、基于光学微腔产生光频梳、基于电光调制器产生光频梳以及基于行波四波混频产生光频梳。它们各具特点，但均很难同时实现宽光谱、高信噪比、高平坦度、高的单梳齿功率以及梳齿频率间隔大范围可调，这在一定程度上影响了光频梳在光通信领域的应用。本文提出基于受激布里渊激光腔产生种子梳，采用腔外负色散光纤进行脉冲压缩，进一步利用色散调控的高非线性氟碲酸盐光纤进行扩谱，从而实现光频梳产生。数值计算结果表明，通过该系统，我们可以得到重复频率大范围可调、光谱覆盖整个O-U波段且在O-U波段梳齿强度标准差小于5 dB的平坦光频梳，证明了通过基于布里渊激光腔与色散调控高非线性氟碲酸盐光纤的光学系统产生可用于光通信的平坦光频梳的可行性。
