High-resolution multicolor printing based on pixelated optical nanostructures is of great importance for promoting advances in color display science. So far, most of the work in this field has been focused on achieving static colors, limiting many potential applications. This inevitably calls for the development of dynamic color displays with advanced and innovative functionalities. In this Letter, we demonstrate a novel dynamic color printing scheme using magnesium-based pixelated Fabry-Perot cavities by grey-scale nanolithography. With controlled hydrogenation and dehydrogenation, magnesium undergoes unique metal and dielectric transitions, enabling distinct blank and color states from the pixelated Fabry-Perot resonators. Following such a scheme, we first demonstrate dynamic Ishihara plates, in which the encrypted images can only be read out using hydrogen as information decoding key. We also demonstrate a new type of dynamic color generation, which enables fascinating transformations between black/white printing and color printing with fine tonal tuning. Our work will find wide-ranging applications in full-color printing and displays, colorimetric sensing, information encryption and anti-counterfeiting.

Microwave frequency acousto-optic modulation is realized by exciting high overtone bulk acoustic wave resonances (HBAR resonances) in the photonic stack. These confined mechanical stress waves transmit exhibit vertically transmitting, high quality factor (Q) acoustic Fabry Perot resonances that extend into the Gigahertz domain, and offer stress-optical interaction with the optical modes of the microresonator. Although HBAR are ubiquitously used in modern communication, and often exploited in superconducting circuits, this is the first time they have been incorporated on a photonic circuit based chip. The electro-acousto-optical interaction observed within the optical modes exhibits high actuation linearity, low actuation power and negligible crosstalk. Using the electro-acousto-optic interaction, fast optical resonance tuning is achieved with sub-nanosecond transduction time. By removing the silicon backreflection, broadband acoustic modulation at 4.1 and 8.7 GHz is realized with a 3 dB bandwidth of 250 MHz each. The novel hybrid HBAR nanophotonic platform demonstrated here, allowing on chip integration of micron-scale acoustic and photonic resonators, can find immediate applications in tunable microwave photonics, high bandwidth soliton microcomb stabilization, compact opto-electronic oscillators, and in microwave to optical conversion schemes. Moreover the hybrid platform allows implementation of momentum biasing, which allows realization of on chip non-reciprocal devices such as isolators or circulators and topological photonic bandstructures.
We present a quantized quasinormal approach to rigorously describe coupled lossy resonators, and quantify the quantum coupling parameters as a function of distance between the resonators. We also make a direct connection between classical and quantum quasinormal modes parameters and theories, offering new and unique insights into coupled open cavity resonators. We present detailed calculations for coupled microdisk resonators and show striking interference effects that depend on the phase of the quasinormal modes, an effect that is also significant for high quality factor modes. Our results demonstrate that commonly adopted master equations for such systems are generally not applicable and we discuss the new physics that is captured using the quantized quasinormal mode coupling parameters and show how these relate to the classical mode parameters. Using these new insights, we also present several models to fix the failures of the dissipative Jaynes-Cummings type models for coupled cavity resonators. Additionally, we show how to improve the classical and quantum lossless mode models (i.e., using normal modes) by employing a non-diagonal mode expansion based on the knowledge of the quasinormal mode eigenfrequencies, and analytical coupled mode theory, to accurately capture the mode interference effects for high quality factors.
Electromagnetic response of dielectric resonators with high refractive index is governed by optically induced electric and magnetic Mie resonances facilitating confinement of light with the amplitude enhancement. However, strong subwavelength trapping of light was associated traditionally only with plasmonic or epsilon-near-zero structures which however suffer from losses. Recently, an alternative localization mechanism was proposed to trap light in individual subwavelength optical resonators with a high quality factor in the regime of a supercavity mode. Here, we present the experimental observation of the supercavity modes in subwavelength ceramic resonators in the radiofrequency range. We demonstrate experimentally that the regime of supercavity mode can be achieved via precise tuning of the resonators dimensions resulting in a huge growth of the quality factor reaching the experimental values up to 1.25x10^4, being limited only by material losses in dielectrics. We reveal that the supercavity modes can be excited efficiently by both near- and far-fields by means of dipole sources and plane waves, respectively. In both the cases, the supercavity mode manifests itself clearly via characteristic peculiarities of the Fano resonance and radiation patterns. Our work paves the way for future compact practical devices in photonics and radiophysics.
We present a monolithic integrated aluminum nitride (AlN) optomechanical resonator in which the mechanical motion is actuated by piezoelectric force and the displacement is transduced by a high-Q optical cavity. The AlN optomechanical resonator is excited from a radio-frequency electrode via a small air gap to eliminate resonator-to-electrode loss. We observe the electrically excited mechanical motion at 47.3 MHz, 1.04 GHz, and 3.12 GHz, corresponding to the 1st, 2nd, and 4th radial-contour mode of the wheel resonator respectively. An equivalent circuit model is developed to describe the observed Fano-like resonance spectrum.
We demonstrate advanced integrated photonic filters in silicon-on-insulator (SOI) nanowires implemented by cascaded Sagnac loop reflector (CSLR) resonators. We investigate mode splitting in these standing-wave (SW) resonators and demonstrate its use for engineering the spectral profile of on-chip photonic filters. By changing the reflectivity of the Sagnac loop reflectors (SLRs) and the phase shifts along the connecting waveguides, we tailor mode splitting in the CSLR resonators to achieve a wide range of filter shapes for diverse applications including enhanced light trapping, flat-top filtering, Q factor enhancement, and signal reshaping. We present the theoretical designs and compare the CSLR resonators with three, four, and eight SLRs fabricated in SOI. We achieve versatile filter shapes in the measured transmission spectra via diverse mode splitting that agree well with theory. This work confirms the effectiveness of using CSLR resonators as integrated multi-functional SW filters for flexible spectral engineering.
