We optimize optical performance of metasurfaces based on periodically corrugated silicon layers by adjusting the Fourier coefficients of their surface profile. For smooth corrugations, we demonstrate an excellent quantitative accuracy of semi-analytical approach based on the Rayleigh hypothesis. We employ the approach to design metasurfaces with anomalous refraction due to dominant first order diffraction. Unlike conventional Huygens dielectric metasurfaces, corrugated silicon layers are capable of efficient anomalous refraction in grazing directions: we obtain corrugation shapes allowing to deflect 70-80% of the energy of normally incident green light into the range of 68{deg}-85{deg} of angles with respect to the normal.

We theoretically investigate the dependence of the enhancement of optical near-fields at nanometric tips on the shape, size, and material of the tip. We confirm a strong dependence of the field enhancement factor on the radius of curvature. In additi
on, we find a surprisingly strong increase of field enhancement with increasing opening angle of the nanotips. For gold and tungsten nanotips in the experimentally relevant parameter range (radius of curvature $geq 5,$nm at $800,$nm laser wavelength), we obtain field enhancement factors of up to ${sim}35$ for Au and ${sim}12$ for W for large opening angles. We confirm this strong dependence on the opening angle for many other materials featuring a wide variety in their dielectric response. For dielectrics, the opening angle dependence is traced back to the electrostatic force of the induced surface charge at the tip shank. For metals, the plasmonic response strongly increases the field enhancement and shifts the maximum field enhancement to smaller opening angles.
Refraction at the interface between two materials is fundamental to the interaction of light with photonic devices and to the propagation of light through the atmosphere at large. Underpinning the traditional rules for the refraction of an optical fi
eld is the tacit presumption of the separability of its spatial and temporal degrees-of-freedom. We show here that endowing a pulsed beam with precise spatio-temporal spectral correlations unveils remarkable refractory phenomena, such as group-velocity invariance with respect to the refractive index, group-delay cancellation, anomalous group-velocity increase in higher-index materials, and tunable group velocity by varying the angle of incidence. A law of refraction for `space-time wave packets encompassing these effects is verified experimentally in a variety of optical materials. Space-time refraction defies our expectations derived from Fermats principle and offers new opportunities for molding the flow of light and other wave phenomena.
High refractive index contrast optical microdisk resonators fabricated from silicon-on-insulator wafers are studied using an external silica fiber taper waveguide as a wafer-scale optical probe. Measurements performed in the 1500 nm wavelength band s
how that these silicon microdisks can support whispering-gallery modes with quality factors as high as 5.2 x 10^5, limited by Rayleigh scattering from fabrication induced surface roughness. Microdisks with radii as small as 2.5 microns are studied, with measured quality factors as high as 4.7 x 10^5 for an optical mode volume of 5.3 cubic wavelengths in the material.
Next generation cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization anisotropy measurements will feature focal plane arrays with more than 600 millimeter-wave detectors. We make use of high-resolution photolithography and wafer-scale etch tools to build p
lanar arrays of corrugated platelet feeds in silicon with highly symmetric beams, low cross-polarization and low side lobes. A compact Au-plated corrugated Si feed designed for 150 GHz operation exhibited performance equivalent to that of electroformed feeds: ~-0.2 dB insertion loss, <-20 dB return loss from 120 GHz to 170 GHz, <-25 dB side lobes and <-23 dB cross-polarization. We are currently fabricating a 50 mm diameter array with 84 horns consisting of 33 Si platelets as a prototype for the SPTpol and ACTpol telescopes. Our fabrication facilities permit arrays up to 150 mm in diameter.
While nanoscale color generations have been studied for years, high performance transmission structural colors, simultaneously equipped with large gamut, high resolution, low loss and optical multiplexing abilities, still remain as a hanging issue. H
ere, beneficial from metasurfaces, we demonstrate a silicon metasurface embedded Fabry-Perot cavity (meta-FP cavity), with polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS) surrounding media and silver film mirrors. By changing the planar geometries of the embedded nanopillars, the meta-FP cavity provides transmission colors with ultra large gamut of 194% sRGB and ultrahigh resolution of 141111 DPI, along with considerably average transmittance of 43% and more than 300% enhanced angular tolerance. Such high density allows two-dimensional color mixing at diffraction limit scale. The color gamut and the resolution can be flexibly tuned and improved by modifying the silver film thickness and the lattice period. The polarization manipulation ability of the metasurface also enables arbitrary color arrangement between cyan and red for two orthogonal linear polarization states, at deep subwavelength scale. Our proposed cavities can be used in filters, printings, optical storages and many other applications in need of high quality and density colors.
