Recently, the multilevel diffractive lenses (MDLs) have attracted considerable attention mainly due to their superior wave focusing performance; however, efforts to correct the chromatic aberration are still in progress. Here, we demonstrate the numerical design and experimental demonstration of high-numerical aperture (NA) (${sim}0.99$), diffraction-limited achromatic multilevel diffractive lens (AMDL) operating in microwave range $10 GHz$ - $14 GHz$. A multi-objective differential evolution (MO-DE) algorithm is incorporated with the three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (3D FDTD) method to optimize both the heights and widths of each concentric ring (zone) of the AMDL structure. In this study, the desired focal distance ${Delta}F_d$ is treated as an optimization parameter in addition to the structural parameters of the zones for the first time. In other words, MO-DE diminishes the necessity of predetermined focal distance and center wavelength by also providing an alternative method for phase profile tailoring. The proposed AMDL can be considered as an ultra-compact, the radius is $3.7{lambda_c}$ where ${lambda_c}$ is the center wavelength (i.e., $12 GHz$ frequency), and flat lens which has a thickness of ${lambda_c}$. The numerically calculated full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) values are below $0.554{lambda}$ and focusing efficiency values are varying between $28{%}$ and $45.5{%}$. To experimentally demonstrate the functionality of the optimized lens, the AMDL composing of polylactic acid material (PLA) polymer is fabricated via 3D-printing technology. The numerical and experimental results are compared, discussed in detail and a good agreement between them is observed. Moreover, the verified AMDL in microwave regime is scaled down to the visible wavelengths to observe achromatic and diffraction-limited focusing behavior between $380 nm$ - $620 nm$ wavelengths.

Due to the inherent in-direct bandgap nature of Silicon, heterogeneous integration of semiconductor lasers on Silicon on Insulator (SOI) is crucial for next-generation on-chip optical interconnects. Compact, high-efficient and high-tolerant couplers
between III-V light source and silicon chips have been the challenge for photonic integrated circuit (PIC). Here, we redesign the taper adiabatic coupler with the total coupling length of only 4 {mu}m, and propose another two novel slot coupler and bridge-SWG coupler with both coupling length of 7 {mu}m, to heterogeneously integrate III-V lasers and silicon chips. We study theoretically the optical mode coupling process through the redesigned taper coupler, the final coupling results match well with the simulation in 3D-FDTD. The three compact couplers represent fundamental TE mode coupling efficiencies all over 90%, even 95.7% for bridge-SWG coupler, to the best of our knowledge, are also the shortest coupling structures (7 um). Moreover, these coupling structures also possess excellent fabrication tolerance.
With the growing demand for massive amounts of data processing transmission and storage it is becoming more challenging to optimize the trade off between high speed and energy consumption in current optoelectronic devices. Heterogeneous material inte
gration into Silicon and Nitride photonics has demonstrated high speed potential but with millimeter to centimeter large footprints. The search for an electro optic modulator that combines high speed with energy efficiency and compactness to enable high component density on chip is yet ongoing. Here we demonstrate a 60 GHz fast (3dB roll off) micrometer compact and 4 fJ per bit efficient Graphene based modulator integrated on Silicon photonics platform. Two dual Graphene layers are capacitively biased into modulating the waveguide modes optical effective index via Pauli blocking mechanism. The electro optic response which is further enhanced by a vertical distributed Bragg reflector cavity thus reducing the drive voltage by about 40 times while preserving an adequate modulation depth (10 dB). Compact efficient and fast modulators enable high photonic chip density and performance with key applications in signal processing sensor platforms and analog and neuromorphic photonic processors.
Attosecond science has been transforming our understanding of electron dynamics in atoms, molecules and solids. However, to date almost all of the attoscience experiments have been based on spectroscopic measurements because attosecond pulses have in
trinsically very broad spectra due to the uncertainty principle and are incompatible with conventional imaging systems. Here we report an important advance towards achieving attosecond coherent diffractive imaging. Using simulated attosecond pulses, we simultaneously reconstruct the spectrum, 17 probes and 17 spectral images of extended objects from a set of ptychographic diffraction patterns. We further confirm the principle and feasibility of this method by successfully performing a ptychographic coherent diffractive imaging experiment using a light-emitting diode with a broad spectrum. We believe this work clear the way to an unexplored domain of attosecond imaging science, which could have a far-reaching impact across different disciplines.
There has been a significant effort to design nanophotonic structures that process images at the speed of light. A prototypical example is in edge detection, where photonic-crystal-, metasurface-, and plasmon-based designs have been proposed and in s
ome cases experimentally demonstrated. In this work, we show that multilayer optical interference coatings can achieve visible-frequency edge detection in transmission with high numerical aperture, two-dimensional image formation, and straightforward fabrication techniques, unique among all nanophotonic approaches. We show that the conventional Laplacian-based transmission spectrum may not be ideal once the scattering physics of real designs is considered, and show that better performance can be attained with alternative spatial filter functions. Our designs, comprising alternating layers of Si and SiO$_2$ with total thicknesses of only $approx 1{rmmu m}$, demonstrate the possibility for optimized multilayer films to achieve state-of-the-art edge detection, and, more broadly, analog optical implementations of linear operators.
Metasurfaces, the ultrathin media with extraordinary wavefront modulation ability, have shown versatile potential in manipulating waves. However, existing acoustic metasurfaces are limited by their narrow-band frequency-dependent capability, which se
verely hinders their real-world applications that usually require customized dispersion. To address this bottlenecking challenge, we report ultra-broadband achromatic metasurfaces that are capable of delivering arbitrary and frequency-independent wave properties by bottom-up topology optimization. We successively demonstrate three ultra-broadband functionalities, including acoustic beam steering, focusing and levitation, featuring record-breaking relative bandwidths of 93.3%, 120% and 118.9%, respectively. All metasurface elements show novel asymmetric geometries containing multiple scatters, curved air channels and local cavities. Moreover, we reveal that the inversely designed metasurfaces can support integrated internal resonances, bi-anisotropy and multiple scattering, which collectively form the mechanism underpinning the ultra-broadband customized dispersion. Our study opens new horizons for ultra-broadband high-efficiency achromatic functional devices on demand, with promising extension to the optical and elastic achromatic metamaterials.
