The ambiguity of macroscopic description of light pressure on continuous medium originates from the uncertainty of dividing the energy-momentum tensor of electromagnetically excited matter into material and field parts or, equivalently, the total acting force into pressure and deformation terms. We show that although there exists a continuum of formally correct formulations, one can adopt the appropriate form of the macroscopic field stress tensor that allows unified description of pressure during elementary light-matter interactions, such as reflection/refraction, absorption and nonlinear conversion. The proposed expressions for the pressure force are simple, convenient and compatible with the polariton momentum $hbar bf k$. The corresponding electromagnetic momentum density (14) generalizes Rytovs definition for right-handed and left-handed frequency dispersive media.

The contra-directional coupling between a left-handed monomode waveguide and a right-handed monomode waveguide is rigorously studied using a complex plane analysis. Light is shown to rotate in this lamellar structure forming a very exotic mode which
we have called a light wheel. The light wheel can be excited using evanescent coupling or by placing sources in one of the waveguides. This structure can thus be seen as a new type of cavity. It is a way to suppress the guided mode of a dielectric slab.
Compact, lightweight and high-performance spatial light modulators (SLMs) are crucial for modern optical technologies. The drive for pixel miniaturization, necessary to improve their performance, has led to a promising alternative, active optical met
asurfaces, which enable tunable subwavelength wavefront manipulation. Here, we demonstrate an all-solid-state programmable transmissive SLM device based on Huygens dielectric metasurfaces. The metasurface features electrical tunability, provided by mature liquid crystals (LCs) technology. In contrast to conventional LC SLMs, our device enables high resolution with a pixel size of ~1 um. We demonstrate its performance by realizing programmable beam steering, which exhibits high side mode suppression ratio of ~6 dB. By complementing the device with a 3D printed doublet microlens, fabricated using two-photon polymerization, we enhance the field of view up to ~80 degrees. The developed prototype paves the way to compact, efficient and multifunctional devices for next generation augmented reality displays, light detection and ranging (LiDAR) systems and optical computing.
The efficient delivery of light energy is a prerequisite for non-invasive imaging and stimulating of target objects embedded deep within a scattering medium. However, injected waves experience random diffusion by multiple light scattering, and only a
small fraction reaches the target object. Here we present a method to counteract wave diffusion and to focus multiplescattered waves to the deeply embedded target. To realize this, we experimentally inject light to the reflection eigenchannels of a specific flight time where most of the multiple-scattered waves have interacted with the target object and maximize the intensity of the returning multiple-scattered waves at the selected time. For targets that are too deep to be visible by optical imaging, we demonstrated a more than 10-fold enhancement in light energy delivery in comparison with ordinary wave diffusion cases. This work will lay a foundation for enhancing the working depth of imaging, sensing, and light stimulation.
The effective Kerr nonlinearity of hollow-core kagome-style photonic crystal fiber (PCF) filled with argon gas increases over 100 times when the pressure is increased from 1 to 150 bar, reaching 15 % of that of bulk silica glass, while the zero dispe
rsion wavelength shifts from 300 to 900 nm. The group velocity dispersion of the system is uniquely pressure-tunable over a wide range while avoiding Raman scattering : absent in noble gases and having an extremely high optical damage threshold. As a result, detailed and well controlled studies of nonlinear effects can be performed, in both normal and anomalous dispersion regimes, using only a fixed-frequency pump laser. For example, the absence of Raman scattering permits clean observation, at high powers, of the interaction between a modulational instability side-band and a soliton created dispersive wave. Excellent agreement is obtained between numerical simulations and experimental results. The system has great potential for the realisation of reconfigurable supercontinuum sources, wavelength convertors and short-pulse laser systems.
We present a numerical scheme to study the dynamics of slow light and light storage in an electromagneticallyinduced- transparency (EIT) medium at finite temperatures. Allowing for the motional coupling, we derive a set of coupled Schr{o}dinger equat
ions describing a boosted closed three-level EIT system according to the principle of Galilean relativity. The dynamics of a uniformly moving EIT medium can thus be determined by numerically integrating the coupled Schrodinger equations for atoms plus one ancillary Maxwell-Schrodinger equation for the probe pulse. The central idea of this work rests on the assumption that the loss of ground-state coherence at finite temperatures can be ascribed to the incoherent superposition of density matrices representing the EIT systems with various velocities. Close agreements are demonstrated in comparing the numerical results with the experimental data for both slow light and light storage. In particular, the distinct characters featuring the decay of ground-state coherence can be well verified for slow light and light storage. This warrants that the current scheme can be applied to determine the decaying profile of the ground-state coherence as well as the temperature of the EIT medium.
