In this article, we propose a programmable plasmonic waveguide system (PPWS) to achieve several different functions based on metal coding metamaterials (MCMs) and inverse design technology. There is no need to spend much time on considering the relation between the function and the structure because the MCMs in the PPWS are reprogrammable. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the PPWS, we utilize it to achieve several filtering functions, including bandstop and bandpass filters. The simulation results exhibit that the performance of filters is improved based on genetic algorithm, particle swarm optimization, multi-traversal direct-binary search and simulated annealing. Especially, the bandwidth and quality factor for the narrow-band filter can reach 6.5 nm and 200.5. In addition to the simple filtering functions, some relatively complex transmission characteristics can be obtained by using the PPWS, such as plasmon-induced transparency-like effects. In conclusion, genetic algorithm is considered as the most efficient inverse design method for our system due to its less optimization time and stable performance. In comparison with the previous works, our proposed PPWS not only provides a general framework for obtaining an effective, flexible and compact plasmonic device but also shows the applications of inverse design on photonics devices.

Nanoantennas for light enhance light-matter interaction at the nanoscale making them useful in optical communication, sensing, and spectroscopy. So far nanoantenna engineering has been largely based on rules derived from the radio frequency domain wh ich neglect the inertia of free metal electrons at optical frequencies causing phenomena such as complete field penetration, ohmic losses and plasmon resonances. Here we introduce a general and scalable evolutionary algorithm that accounts for topological constrains of the fabrication method and therefore yields unexpected nanoantenna designs exhibiting strong light localization and enhancement which can directly be printed by focused-ion beam milling. The fitness ranking in a hierarchy of such antennas is validated experimentally by two-photon photoluminescence. Analysis of the best antennas operation principle shows that it deviates fundamentally from that of classical radio wave-inspired designs. Our work sets the stage for a widespread application of evolutionary optimization to a wide range of problems in nano photonics.
Next-generation optoelectronic devices and photonic circuitry will have to incorporate on-chip compatible nanolaser sources. Semiconductor nanowire lasers have emerged as strong candidates for integrated systems with applications ranging from ultrase nsitive sensing, to data communication technologies. Despite significant advances in their fundamental aspects, the integration within scalable photonic circuitry remains challenging. Here we report on the realization of hybrid photonic devices consisting of nanowire lasers integrated with wafer-scale lithographically designed V-groove plasmonic waveguides. We present experimental evidence of the lasing emission and coupling into the propagating modes of the V-grooves, enabling on-chip routing of coherent and sub-diffraction confined light with room temperature operation. Theoretical considerations suggest that the observed lasing is enabled by a waveguide hybrid photonic-plasmonic mode. This work represents a major advance towards the realization of application-oriented photonic circuits with integrated nanolaser sources.
We show that a metallic plate with fractal-shaped slits can be homogenitized as a plasmonic metamaterial with plasmon frequency dictated by the fractal geometry. Owing to the all-dimensional subwavelength nature of the fractal pattern, our system sup ports both transverse-electric and transverse-magnetic surface plasmons. As a result, this structure can be employed to focus light sources with all-dimensional subwavelength resolutions and enhanced field strengths. Microwave experiments reveal that the best achievable resolution is only, and simulations demonstrate that similar effects can be realized at infrared frequencies with appropriate designs.
Motivated by the recent growing demand in dynamically-controlled flat optics, we take advantage of a hybrid phase-change plasmonic metasurface (MS) to effectively tailor the amplitude, phase, and polarization responses of the incident beam within a u nique structure. Such a periodic architecture exhibits two fundamental modes; pronounced counter-propagating short-range surface plasmon polariton (SR-SPP) coupled to the Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) alloy as the feed gap, and the propagative surface plasmon polariton (PR-SPP) resonant modes tunneling to the GST nanostripes. By leveraging the multistate phase transition of alloy from amorphous to the crystalline, which induces significant complex permittivity change, the interplay between such enhanced modes can be drastically modified. Accordingly, in the intermediate phases, the proposed system experiences a coupled condition of operational over-coupling and under-coupling regimes leading to an inherently broadband response. We wisely addressing each gate-tunable meta-atom to achieve robust control over the reflection characteristics, wide phase agility up to 315? or considerable reflectance modulation up to 60%, which facilitate a myriad of on-demand optical functionalities in the telecommunication band. Based on the revealed underlying physics and electro-thermal effects in the GST alloy, a simple systematic approach for realization of an electro-optically tunable multifunctional metadevice governing anomalous reflection angle control (e.g., phased array antenna), near-perfect absorption (e.g., modulator), and polarization conversion (e.g., wave plate) is presented. As a promising alternative to their passive counterparts, such high-speed, non-volatile MSs offer an smart paradigm for reversible, energy-efficient, and programmable optoelectronic devices such as holograms, switches, and polarimeters.

Topological corner state (TCS) and topological edge state (TES) have provided new approaches to control the propagation of light. The construction of topological coupled cavity-waveguide system (TCCWS) based on TCS and TES is worth looking forward to , due to its research prospects in realizing high-performance micro-nano integrated photonic devices. In this Letter, TCCWS is proposed in two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystal (PC), which possesses strong optical localization, high quality factor and excellent robustness compared with the conventional coupled cavity-waveguide system (CCCWS). This work will provide the possibility to design high-performance logic gates, lasers, filters and other micro-nano integrated photonics devices and expand their applications.
