In this paper, we report two new kinds of absolute optical instruments that can make stigmatically images for geometric optics in two dimensional space. One is called the duplex Mikaelian lens, which is made by splicing two half Mikaelian lenses with different periods. The other is exponential conformal transformer of duplex Mikaelian lens with the ratio of different periods of its two half Mikaelian lenses a rational number, which we call duplex Maxwells fish eye lens. Duplex Mikaelian lenses have continuous translation symmetry with arbitrary real number, while duplex Maxwells fish eye lenses have continuous rotational symmetry from 0 to 2*Pi. Hence each duplex Maxwells fish eye lens corresponds to a duplex Mikaelian lens. We further demonstrate the caustic effect of geometric optics in duplex Mikaelian lenses and duplex Maxwells fish eye lenses. In addition, we investigate the Talbot effect of wave optics in the duplex Mikaelian lens based on numeric calculations. Our findings based on splicing and exponential conformal mapping enlarge the family of absolute optical instruments.

The design of compact optical systems with large field of view has been difficult due to the requirement of many elements or a curved focal plane to reduce off-axis aberration. We propose a multi-aperture lens design to effectively resolve these issues. Metagrating-based deflectors are placed near entrance pupils of multi-aperture lens array to enhance field of view. A systematic design method is given in details. In design examples, a $pm$80$^circ$ field of view using only two planar optical elements is achieved. Also, the system is extremely compact with total track lengths an order of magnitude smaller than conventional fish-eye lenses, while the imaging performance is comparable with conventional designs.
Cassegrain designs can be used to build thin lenses. We analyze the relationships between system thickness and aperture sizes of the two mirrors as well as FoV size. Our analysis shows that decrease in lens thickness imposes tight constraint on the aperture and FoV size. To mitigate this limitation, we propose to fill the gaps between the primary and the secondary with high index material. The Gassegrain optics cuts the track length into half and high index material reduces ray angle and height, consequently the incident ray angle can be increased, i.e., the FoV angle is extended. Defining telephoto ratio as the ratio of lens thickness to focal length, we achieve telephoto ratios as small as 0.43 for a visible Cassegrain thin lens and 1.20 for an infrared Cassegrain thin lens. To achieve an arbitrary FoV coverage, we present an strategy by integrating multiple thin lenses on one plane with each unit covering a different FoV region. To avoid physically tilting each unit, we propose beam steering with metasurface. By image stitching, we obtain wide FoV images.
Full-duplex (FD) communication is regarded as a key technology in future 5G and Internet of Things (IoT) systems. In addition to high data rate constraints, the success of these systems depends on the ability to allow for confidentiality and security. Secret-key agreement from reciprocal wireless channels can be regarded as a valuable supplement for security at the physical layer. In this work, we study the role of FD communication in conjunction with secret-key agreement. We first introduce two complementary key generation models for FD and half-duplex (HD) settings and compare the performance by introducing the key-reconciliation function. Furthermore, we study the impact of the so called probing-reconciliation trade-off, the role of a strong eavesdropper and analyze the system in the high SNR regime. We show that under certain conditions, the FD mode enforces a deteriorating impact on the capabilities of the eavesdropper and offers several advantages in terms of secret-key rate over the conventional HD setups. Our analysis reveals as an interesting insight that perfect self-interference cancellation is not necessary in order to obtain performance gains over the HD mode.
Optical lenses are pervasive in various areas of sciences and technologies. It is well-known that the resolving power of a lens and thus optical systems is limited by the diffraction of light. Recently, various plasmonics and metamaterials based superlenses have been emerging to achieve super resolution. Here, we show that the phase compensated negative refraction lenses perform as Janus Lenses, i.e. either converging lenses or diverging lenses depending on the illumination directions. Extraordinary imaging equations and properties that are different from those of all the existing optical lenses are also presented. These new imaging properties, along with the super resolving power, significantly expand the horizon of imaging optics and optical system design.
We experimentally demonstrate ultrathin flat lenses with a thickness of 7 {AA}, which corresponds to the fundamental physical limit of the thickness of the material, is fabricated in a large area, monolayer, CVD-prepared tungsten chalcogenides single crystals using the low-cost flexible laser writing method. The lenses apply the ultra-high refractive index to introduce abrupt amplitude modulation of the incident light to achieve three-dimensional (3D) focusing diffraction-limited resolution (0.5{lambda}) and a focusing efficiency as high as 31%. An analytical physical model based diffraction theory is derived to simulate the focusing process, which shows excellent agreement with the experimental results.
