Scattering of waves, e.g., light, due to medium inhomogeneity is ubiquitous in physics and is considered detrimental for many applications. Wavefront shaping technology is a powerful tool to defeat scattering and focus light through inhomogeneous media, which is vital for optical imaging, communication, therapy, etc. Wavefront shaping based on the scattering matrix (SM) is extremely useful in handling dynamic processes in the linear regime. However, the implementation of such a method for controlling light in nonlinear media is still a challenge and has been unexplored until now. We report a method to determine the SM of nonlinear scattering media with second-order nonlinearity. We experimentally demonstrate its feasibility in wavefront control and realize focusing of nonlinear signals through strongly scattering quadratic media. Moreover, we show that statistical properties of this SM still follow the random matrix theory. The scattering-matrix approach of nonlinear scattering medium opens a path toward nonlinear signal recovery, nonlinear imaging, microscopic object tracking, and complex environment quantum information processing.

光的自旋轨道耦合现象在微纳尺度的光与物质相互作用中几乎无处不在。偶极辐射等非傍轴光在空间传播中具有自发自旋轨道耦合,当光遇到各向异性结构、磁性结构、手性结构,以及具有波长尺度空间不均匀的结构时,自旋轨道耦合现象也时常发生。对光的自旋深入研究不仅有利于新光学现象的发掘,还为微纳光场操纵提供了新途径。近些年来,基于几何相位的超构表面在新型自旋光控制中展示出了很多重要应用,实现了多维度、多波长的激光自旋控制,产生了纠缠光子、自旋依赖的偏振热光源等,也发展了一些基于光自旋的超灵敏测量手段。相比而言,光与无序微纳结构相互作用的研究则较少。无序结构内在的随机性使得该体系的自旋轨道耦合变得复杂,光场的表征需要考虑统计特性,为测量、分析带来了一定挑战。此外,随机系统的光子自旋霍尔效应机理还没有完全清楚,随机几何相位涨落或者涡旋都能使光产生自旋霍尔效应,但是两者有很大的物理差异。因此,光子自旋霍尔效应与无序几何相位之间的规律还有待深入探索。首先介绍光的自旋概念、不同体系下的基本自旋轨道耦合现象,然后分析以超构表面为平台研究的二维随机体系对光自旋轨道耦合与光子自旋霍尔效应的影响,包括各向异性无序、磁光涨落、涡旋、随机偶极子辐射等产生的光自旋分离现象。这些研究和分析有利于将来用光自旋霍尔信号作为新的探测和控制手段,研究相互作用体系的相变与演化。

The compact and reliable ultraviolet (UV) source has attracted remarkable attention for its potential use in optical measurement systems, high-density optical storage, and biomedical applications. We demonstrate ultraviolet generation by frequency doubling in a lithium-tantalate-on-insulator (LTOI) microdisk via modal phase matching. The 50-µm-diameter microdisk was milled by a focused ion beam (FIB) and followed by chemo-mechanical polishing (CMP) to smooth the disk surface and edge, and the Q-factor reaches 2.74×105 in the visible band. On-chip UV coherent light with a wavelength of 384.3 nm was achieved, which shows great promise for using LTOIs in integrated ultraviolet source platforms.

Relativistic electrons moving over a periodic metal grating can lead to an intriguing emission of light, known as Smith–Purcell radiation (SPR), the precursor of the free-electron laser. The speed of light plays a critical role in the far-field emission spectrum. Inspired by this photonic SPR, here we experimentally demonstrate a photoacoustic phased array using laser-induced shock waves. We observe acoustic radiation spectrum in the far field, perfectly predicted by a universal theory for the SPR. This scheme provides a tool to control the acoustic radiation in the near field, paving the way toward coherent acoustic wave generation and microstructure metrology.

Transparency and perfect absorption are two contradictory terms; a perfect absorber never permits waves to transmit through. However, this statement only remains true in the linear regime, where the nonlinearity has been omitted and the physical system like the perfect absorber is not affected by the incoming waves. Here we experimentally demonstrate an intriguing self-induced transparency effect in a perfectly absorbing optical microcavity, which perfectly absorbs any incoming waves at the low power level, but allows a portion of waves to be transmitted at the higher power due to the nonlinear coupling between the fundamental and its second harmonic modes. Moreover, the asymmetric scattering nature of the microcavity enables a chiral and unidirectional reflection in one of the input ports, this leads to asymmetric and chiral coherent control of the perfect absorption states through phase varying. More importantly, such chiral behaviors also empower the chiral emission of second-harmonic generation with a high distinct ratio in the transparency state. These results pave the way for controllable transparency in a wide range of fields in optics, microwaves, acoustics, mechanics, and matter waves.

The control of thermal emission is of great importance for emerging applications in energy conversion and thermometric sensing. Usually, thermal emission at ambient temperature is limited to the mid- to far-infrared, according to the linear theory of Planck’s law. We experimentally demonstrate a broadband nonlinear thermal emission in the visible-NIR spectrum within a quadradic nonlinear medium, which emits visible thermal radiation through a pump-driven nonlinear upconversion from its mid-IR components even at room temperature, unlike its linear counterpart which requires ultrahigh temperature. The broadband emission is enabled by the crucial random quasi-phase-matching condition in our nonlinear nanocrystal powders. Moreover, nonlinear thermal emission also permits visible thermometry using traditional optical cameras instead of thermal ones. This scheme paves the way to understand thermal radiation dynamics with nonlinearity in many fields, such as nonlinear heat transfer and nonlinear thermodynamics.

We design and fabricate an unbalanced Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI) via electron beam lithography and inductively coupled plasma etching on lithium niobate thin film. The single unbalanced MZI exhibits a maximum extinction ratio of 32.4 dB and a low extra loss of 1.14 dB at the telecommunication band. Furthermore, tunability of the unbalanced MZI by harnessing the thermo-optic and electro-optic effect is investigated, achieving a linear tuning efficiency of 42.8 pm/°C and 55.2 pm/V, respectively. The demonstrated structure has applications for sensing and filtering in photonic integrated circuits.

Constructions of synthetic lattices in modulated ring resonators attract growing attention to interesting physics beyond the geometric dimensionality, where complicated connectivities between resonant frequency modes are explored in many theoretical proposals. We implement experimental demonstration of generating a stub lattice along the frequency axis of light, in two coupled ring resonators of different lengths, with the longer one dynamically modulated. Such a synthetic photonic structure intrinsically exhibits the physics of flat band. We show that the time-resolved band structure read-out from the drop-port output of the excited ring is the intensity projection of the band structure onto a specific resonant mode in the synthetic momentum space, where gapped flat band, mode localization effect, and flat-to-nonflat band transition are observed in experiments and verified by simulations. This work provides evidence for constructing a synthetic stub lattice using two different rings, which, hence, makes a solid step toward experimentally constructing complicated lattices in multiple rings associated with synthetic frequency dimensions.

Atherosclerotic cardio-cerebral vascular disease is the most common disease that threatens human health. Many researches indicated that oxidatively modified low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) is a key pathogenic factor of atherosclerosis. Here, we report the change of the secondary structure of ox-LDL caused by photoirradiation in an optofluidic resonator. The content ratios of amphipathic α-helices and β-sheets of ox-LDL are changed under laser beam illumination, resulting in an increasing binding rate of ox-LDL and ox-LDL antibodies. Our findings may provide a potential way for clinical atherosclerosis treatment and prompt recovery rate of atherosclerotic cardio-cerebral vascular disease by optical technology and immunotherapy.

When two synchronized laser beams illuminate the inner surface of bulk lithium niobate crystals with magnesium doping (5%/mol MgO:LiNbO3) under the condition of total reflection, semi-degenerate four-wave mixing (FWM) is generated. On this basis, a more sophisticated frequency conversion process on the interface of nonlinear crystal has been researched. The generation mechanism of FWM is associated with the fundamental waves reflected on the inner surface of the nonlinear crystal. Analysis of the phase-matching mechanism confirms that the FWM is radiated by the third-order nonlinear polarized waves, which are stimulated by the third-order nonlinear susceptibility coefficient of the nonlinear crystal. Theoretically calculated and experimentally measured corresponding data have been presented in this article. These results are expected to provide new inspiration for further experimental and theoretical research on frequency conversion in nonlinear crystals.
