Fourier back plane (FBP) imaging technique has been widely used in the frontier research of nanophotonics. In this paper, based on the diffraction theory and wave front transformation principle, the FBP imaging basic principle, the setup realization and the applications in frontier research are introduced. The paper beginnings with the primary knowledge of Fourier optics, combining with the modern microscope structure to help to understand the Fourier transformation principle in the advances of nanophotonics. It can be a reference for experimental teaching and researching.

We report a broadband terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) which enables twenty vibrational modes of adenosine nucleoside to be resolved in a wide frequency range of 1-20 THz. The observed spectroscopic features of adenosine are in good agreement with the published spectra obtained using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy. This much-extended bandwidth leads to enhanced material characterization capability as it provides spectroscopic information on both intra-molecular and inter-molecular vibrations. In addition, we also report a low-cost Frequency Modulation Continuous Wave (FMCW) imaging system which has a fast measurement speed of 40,000 waveforms per second. Cross-sectional imaging capability through cardboard has also been demonstrated using its excellent penetration capability at a frequency range of 76-81 GHz. We anticipate that the integration of these two complementary imaging technologies would be highly desirable for many real-world applications because it provides both spectroscopic discrimination and penetration capabilities in a single instrument.
Gratings and holograms are patterned surfaces that tailor optical signals by diffraction. Despite their long history, variants with remarkable functionalities continue to be discovered. Further advances could exploit Fourier optics, which specifies the surface pattern that generates a desired diffracted output through its Fourier transform. To shape the optical wavefront, the ideal surface profile should contain a precise sum of sinusoidal waves, each with a well-defined amplitude, spatial frequency, and phase. However, because fabrication techniques typically yield profiles with at most a few depth levels, complex wavy surfaces cannot be obtained, limiting the straightforward mathematical design and implementation of sophisticated diffractive optics. Here we present a simple yet powerful approach to eliminate this design-fabrication mismatch by demonstrating optical surfaces that contain an arbitrary number of specified sinusoids. We combine thermal scanning-probe lithography and templating to create periodic and aperiodic surface patterns with continuous depth control and sub-wavelength spatial resolution. Multicomponent linear gratings allow precise manipulation of electromagnetic signals through Fourier-spectrum engineering. Consequently, we immediately resolve an important problem in photonics by creating a single-layer grating that simultaneously couples red, green, and blue light at the same angle of incidence. More broadly, we analytically design and accurately replicate intricate two-dimensional moire patterns, quasicrystals, and holograms, demonstrating a variety of previously impossible diffractive surfaces. Therefore, this approach provides instant benefit for optical devices (biosensors, lasers, metasurfaces, and modulators) and emerging topics in photonics (topological structures, transformation optics, and valleytronics).
A method to generate the optical vortex beam with arbitrary superposition of different orders of orbital angular momentum (OAM) on a photonic chip is proposed. The distributed Fourier holographic gratings are proposed to convert the propagating wave in waveguides to a vortex beam in the free space, and the components of different OAMs can be controlled by the amplitude and phases of on-chip incident light based on the principle of Fourier transformation. As an example, we studied a typical device composed of nine Fourier holographic gratings on fan-shaped waveguides. By scalar diffraction calculation, the OAM of the optical beam from the reconfigurable vortex beam generator can be controlled on-demand from -2nd to 2nd by adjusting the phase of input light fields, which is demonstrated numerically with the fidelity of generated optical vortex beam above 0.69. The working bandwidth of the Fourier holographic grating is about 80 nm with a fidelity above 0.6. Our work provides an feasible method to manipulate the vortex beam or detect arbitrary superposition of OAMs, which can be used in integrated photonics structures for optical trapping, signal processing, and imaging.
The two-point complex coherence function constitutes a complete representation for scalar quasi-monochromatic optical fields. Exploiting dynamically reconfigurable slits implemented with a digital micromirror device, we report on measurements of the complex two-point coherence function for partially coherent light scattering from a `scene comprising one or two objects at different transverse and axial positions with respect to the source. Although the intensity shows no discernible shadows in absence of a lens, numerically back-propagating the measured complex coherence function allows estimating the objects sizes and locations -- and thus the reconstruction of the scene.
Capturing high-dimensional (HD) data is a long-term challenge in signal processing and related fields. Snapshot compressive imaging (SCI) uses a two-dimensional (2D) detector to capture HD ($ge3$D) data in a {em snapshot} measurement. Via novel optical designs, the 2D detector samples the HD data in a {em compressive} manner; following this, algorithms are employed to reconstruct the desired HD data-cube. SCI has been used in hyperspectral imaging, video, holography, tomography, focal depth imaging, polarization imaging, microscopy, etc.~Though the hardware has been investigated for more than a decade, the theoretical guarantees have only recently been derived. Inspired by deep learning, various deep neural networks have also been developed to reconstruct the HD data-cube in spectral SCI and video SCI. This article reviews recent advances in SCI hardware, theory and algorithms, including both optimization-based and deep-learning-based algorithms. Diverse applications and the outlook of SCI are also discussed.
