| 1 | Photonic microwave true time delays for phased array antennas using a 49 GHz FSR integrated optical micro-comb source[Invited]显示文摘We demonstrate significantly improved performance of a microwave true time delay line based on an integrated optical frequency comb source. The broadband micro-comb(over 100 nm wide) features a record low free spectral range(FSR) of 49 GHz, resulting in an unprecedented record high channel number(81 over the C band)—the highest number of channels for an integrated comb source used for microwave signal processing. We theoretically analyze the performance of a phased array antenna and show that this large channel count results in a high angular resolution and wide beam-steering tunable range. This demonstrates the feasibility of our approach as a competitive solution toward implementing integrated photonic true time delays in radar and communications systems. | XINGYUAN Xu JIAYANG Wu THACH G.NGUYEN TANIA MOEIN SAI T.CHU BRENT E.LITTLE ROBERTO MORANDOTTI ARNAN MITCHELL DAVID J.Moss | 2018 | Photonics Research2018,6,5: | 4 |
| 2 | Single‐pixel terahertz imaging:a review显示文摘This paper is devoted to reviewing the results achieved so far in the application of the single-pixel imaging technique to terahertz(THz)systems.The use of THz radiation for imaging purposes has been largely explored in the last twenty years,due to the unique capabilities of this kind of radiation in interrogating material properties.However,THz imaging systems are still limited by the long acquisition time required to reconstruct the object image and significant efforts have been recently directed to overcome this drawback.One of the most promising approaches in this sense is the so-called“single-pixel”imaging,which in general enables image reconstruction by patterning the beam probing the object and measuring the total transmission(or reflection)with a single-pixel detector(i.e.,with no spatial resolution).The main advantages of such technique are that i)no bulky moving parts are required to raster-scan the object and ii)compressed sensing(CS)algorithms,which allow an appropriate reconstruction of the image with an incomplete set of measurements,can be successfully implemented.Overall,this can result in a reduction of the acquisition time.In this review,we cover the experimental solutions proposed to implement such imaging technique at THz frequencies,as well as some practical uses for typical THz applications. | Luca Zanotto Riccardo Piccoli Junliang Dong Roberto Morandotti Luca Razzari | 2020 | Opto-Electronic Advances2020,3,9: | 4 |
| 3 | Optical force-induced nonlinearity and self-guiding of light in human red blood cell suspensions显示文摘Osmotic conditions play an important role in the cell properties of human red blood cells(RBCs),which are crucial for the pathological analysis of some blood diseases such as malaria.Over the past decades,numerous efforts have mainly focused on the study of the RBC biomechanical properties that arise from the unique deformability of erythrocytes.Here,we demonstrate nonlinear optical effects from human RBCs suspended in different osmotic solutions.Specifically,we observe self-trapping and scattering-resistant nonlinear propagation of a laser beam through RBC suspensions under all three osmotic conditions,where the strength of the optical nonlinearity increases with osmotic pressure on the cells.This tunable nonlinearity is attributed to optical forces,particularly the forward-scattering and gradient forces.Interestingly,in aged blood samples(with lysed cells),a notably different nonlinear behavior is observed due to the presence of free hemoglobin.We use a theoretical model with an optical force-mediated nonlocal nonlinearity to explain the experimental observations.Our work on light self-guiding through scattering biosoft-matter may introduce new photonic tools for noninvasive biomedical imaging and medical diagnosis. | Rekha Gautam Yinxiao Xiang Josh Lamstein Yi Liang Anna Bezryadina Guo Liang Tobias Hansson Benjamin Wetzel Daryl Preece Adam White Matthew Silverman Susan Kazarian Jingjun Xu Roberto Morandotti Zhigang Chen | 2019 | Light(Science & Applications)2019,8,1: | 3 |
| 4 | Integrated sources of photon quantum states based on nonlinear optics显示文摘The ability to generate complex optical photon states involving entanglement between multiple optical modes is not only critical to advancing our understanding of quantum mechanics but will play a key role in generating many applications in quantum technologies.These include quantum communications,computation,imaging,microscopy and many other novel technologies that are constantly being proposed.However,approaches to generating parallel multiple,customisable bi-and multi-entangled quantum bits(qubits)on a chip are still in the early stages of development.Here,we review recent advances in the realisation of integrated sources of photonic quantum states,focusing on approaches based on nonlinear optics that are compatible with contemporary optical fibre telecommunications and quantum memory platforms as well as with chip-scale semiconductor technology.These new and exciting platforms hold the promise of compact,low-cost,scalable and practical implementations of sources for the generation and manipulation of complex quantum optical states on a chip,which will play a major role in bringing quantum technologies out of the laboratory and into the real world. | Lucia Caspani Chunle Xiong Benjamin J Eggleton Daniele Bajoni Marco Liscidini Matteo Galli Roberto Morandotti David J Moss | 2017 | Light(Science & Applications)2017,6,1: | 3 |
| 5 | Free-space realization of tunable pin-like optical vortex beams显示文摘We demonstrate,both analytically and experimentally,free-space pin-like optical vortex beams (POVBs). Such angular-momentum-carrying beams feature tunable peak intensity and undergo robust antidiffracting propagation,realized by judiciously modulating both the amplitude and the phase profile of a standard laser beam.Specifically,they are generated by superimposing a radially symmetric power-law phase on a helical phase structure,which allows the inclusion of an orbital angular momentum term to the POVBs. During propagation in free space,these POVBs initially exhibit autofocusing dynamics,and subsequently their amplitude patterns morph into a high-order Bessel-like profile characterized by a hollow core and an annular main lobe with a constant or tunable width during propagation. In contrast with numerous previous endeavors on Bessel beams,our work represents the first demonstration of long-distance free-space generation of optical vortex 'pins' with their peak intensity evolution controlled by the impressed amplitude structure. Both the Poynting vectors and the optical radiation forces associated with these beams are also numerically analyzed,revealing novel properties that may be useful for a wide range of applications. | DOMENICO BONGIOVANNI DENGHUI LI MIHALIS GOUTSOULAS HAO WU YI HU DAOHONG SONG ROBERTO MORANDOTTI NIKOLAOS KEFREMIDIS ZHIGANG CHEN | 2021 | Photonics Research2021,9,7: | 2 |
| 6 | Type-Ⅱmicro-comb generation in a filter-driven four wave mixing laser[Invited]显示文摘We experimentally demonstrate the generation of highly coherent Type-II micro-combs based on a microresonator nested in a fiber cavity loop, known as the filter-driven four wave mixing(FD-FWM) laser scheme.In this system, the frequency spacing of the comb can be adjusted to integer multiples of the free-spectral range(FSR) of the nested micro-resonator by properly tuning the fiber cavity length. Sub-comb lines with single FSR spacing around the primary comb lines can be generated. Such a spectral emission is known as a 'Type-II comb'.Our system achieves a fully coherent output. This behavior is verified by numerical simulations. This study represents an important step forward in controlling and manipulating the dynamics of an FD-FWM laser. | HUALONG BAO ANDREW COOPER SAI T.CHU DAVE J.Moss ROBERTO MORANDOTTI BRENT E.LITTLE MARCO PECClANTI ALESSIA PASQUAZI | 2018 | Photonics Research2018,6,5: | 1 |
| 7 | Nonlinear control of photonic higher-order topological bound states in the continuum显示文摘Higher-order topological insulators(HOTIs)are recently discovered topological phases,possessing symmetry-protected corner states with fractional charges.An unexpected connection between these states and the seemingly unrelated phenomenon of bound states in the continuum(BICs)was recently unveiled.When nonlinearity is added to the HOTI system,a number of fundamentally important questions arise.For example,how does nonlinearity couple higher-order topological BICs with the rest of the system,including continuum states?In fact,thus far BICs in nonlinear HOTIs have remained unexplored.Here we unveil the interplay of nonlinearity,higher-order topology,and BICs in a photonic platform.We observe topological corner states that are also BICs in a laser-written second-order topological lattice and further demonstrate their nonlinear coupling with edge(but not bulk)modes under the proper action of both self-focusing and defocusing nonlinearities.Theoretically,we calculate the eigenvalue spectrum and analog of the Zak phase in the nonlinear regime,illustrating that a topological BIC can be actively tuned by nonlinearity in such a photonic HOTI.Our studies are applicable to other nonlinear HOTI systems,with promising applications in emerging topology-driven devices. | Zhichan Hu Domenico Bongiovanni Dario Jukić Ema Jajtić Shiqi Xia Daohong Song Jingjun Xu Roberto Morandotti Hrvoje Buljan Zhigang Chen | 2021 | Light(Science & Applications)2021,10,9: | 1 |

| 11 | A universal route to efficient non-linear response via Thomson scattering in linear solids显示文摘Non-linear materials are cornerstones of modern optics and electronics.Strong dependence on the intrinsic properties of particular materials,however,inhibits the at-will extension of demanding non-linear effects,especially those second-order ones,to widely adopted centrosymmetric materials(for example,silicon)and te chnologically important burgeoning spectral domains(for example,terahertz frequencies).Here we introduce a universal route to efficient non-linear responses enabled by exciting non-linear Thomson scattering,a fundamental process in electrodynamics that was known to occur only in relativistic electrons in metamaterial composed of linear materials.Such a mechanism modulates the trajectory of charges,either intrinsically or extrinsically provided in solids,at twice the driving frequency,allowing second-harmonic generation at terahertz frequencies on crystalline silicon with extremely large non-linear susceptibility in our proof-of-concept experiments.By offering a substantially material-and frequency-independent platform,our approach opens new possibilities in the fields of on-demand non-linear optics,terahertz sources,strong field light-solid interactions and integrated photonic circuits. | Yongzheng Wen Flavio Giorgianni Igor Ilyakov Baogang Quan Sergey Kovalev Chen Wang Carlo Vicario Jan-Christoph Deinert Xiaoyu Xiong Joe Bailey Min Chen Alexey Ponomaryov Nilesh Awari Andrea Rovere Jingbo Sun Roberto Morandotti Luca Razzari Gabriel Aeppli Junjie Li Ji Zhou | 2023 | National Science Review2023,10,7: | 0 |

| 13 | Topologically tuned terahertz confinement in a nonlinear photonic chip显示文摘Compact terahertz(THz)functional devices are greatly sought after for high-speed wireless communication,biochemical sensing,and non-destructive inspection.However,controlled THz generation,along with transport and detection,has remained a challenge especially for chip-scale devices due to low-coupling efficiency and unavoidable absorption losses.Here,based on the topological protection of electromagnetic waves,we demonstrate nonlinear generation and topologically tuned confinement of THz waves in an engineered lithium niobate chip forming a wedge-shaped Su-Schrieffer-Heeger lattice.Experimentally measured band structures provide direct visualization of the THz localization in the momentum space,while robustness of the confined mode against chiral perturbations is also analyzed and compared for both topologically trivial and nontrivial regimes.Such topological control of THz waves may bring about new possibilities in the realization of THz integrated circuits,promising for advanced photonic applications. | Jiayi Wang Shiqi Xia Ride Wang Ruobin Ma Yao Lu Xinzheng Zhang Daohong Song Qiang Wu Roberto Morandotti Jingjun Xu Zhigang Chen | 2022 | Light(Science & Applications)2022,11,6: | 0 |
