Tunable metamaterial absorption device based on Fabry–Perot resonance as temperature and refractive index sensing

Bound states in the continuum (BICs) have exhibited extraordinary properties in photonics for enhanced light-matter interactions that enable appealing applications in nonlinear optics, biosensors, and ultrafast optical switches. The most common strategy to apply BICs in a metasurface is by breaking symmetry of resonators in the uniform array that leaks the otherwise uncoupled mode to free space and exhibits an inverse quadratic relationship between quality factor (Q) and asymmetry. Here, we propose a scheme to further reduce scattering losses and improve the robustness of symmetry-protected BICs by decreasing the radiation density with a hybrid BIC lattice.We observe significant increase of radiative Q in the hybrid lattice compared to uniform lattice with a factor larger than 14.6. In the hybrid BIC lattice, modes are transferred to Gamma point inherited from high symmetric X, Y and M points in the Brillouin zone that reveal as multiple Fano resonances in the far field and would find applications in hyperspectral sensing. This work initiates a novel and generalized path toward reducing scattering losses and improving the robustness of BICs in terms of lattice engineering that would release the rigid requirements of fabrication accuracy and benefit applications of photonics and optoelectronic devices.

Hybrid bound states in the continuum in terahertz metasurfaces

This paper proposes a metamaterial absorption device (MAD) based on Block Dirac semimetal (BDS), which exhibits five band perfect absorption in 5.96 THz, 7.86 THz, 9.84 THz, 11.91 THz, 12.22 THz, the absorption rates of M1-M5 are 0.987, 0.998, 0.997, 0.996, 0.999 and Q-factors are 54.36, 131.06, 61.61, 99.75, 102.58, respectively. The MAD has a three-layer structure consisting of substrate gold, silica, and top layer BDS, where BDS is designed as a cylindrical and circular microstructure. And polarization insensitivity due to the symmetry of the design. According to calculations, the MAD conforms to the impedance matching theory. In the analysis of the electric field diagram, it was revealed that the absorption of electromagnetic waves comes from LSPR and guided mode resonance effects. Based on the characteristics of BDS, this device can be tuned with changes in BDS Fermi energy, while also possessing certain physical tuning capabilities. When exploring the refractive index sensitivity of the device, we found that it has a high refractive index sensitivity. Among them, the sensitivity of M1-M5 is 2000 GHz/RIU, 570 GHz/RIU, 3970 GHz/RIU, 3000 GHz/RIU, and 1000 GHz/RIU, respectively Overall, this device has strong application prospects in sensing fields such as biomedicine.

Enhancing light-matter interaction is a key requisite in the realm of optical sensors. Bound states in the continuum (BICs), possessing high quality factors (Q factors), have shown great advantages in sensing applications. Recent theories elucidate the ability of BICs with hybrid metal-dielectric architectures to achieve high Q factors and high sensitivities. However, the experimental validation of the sensing performance in such hybrid systems remains equivocal. In this study, we propose two symmetry-protected quasi-BIC modes in a metal-dielectric metasurface. Our results demonstrate that, under the normal incidence of light, the quasi-BIC mode dominated by dielectric can achieve a high Q factor of 412 and a sensing performance with a high bulk sensitivity of 492.7 nm/RIU (refractive index unit) and a figure of merit (FOM) of 266.3 RIU-1, while the quasi-BIC mode dominated by metal exhibits a stronger surface affinity in the biotin-streptavidin bioassay. These findings offer a promising approach for implementing metasurface-based sensors, representing a paradigm for high-sensitivity biosensing platforms.

Recent advancements in photonic bound states in the continuum (BICs) have opened up exciting new possibilities for the design of optoelectronic devices with improved performance. In this perspective article, we provide an overview of recent progress in photonic BICs based on metamaterials and photonic crystals, focusing on both the underlying physics and their practical applications. The first part of this article introduces 2 different interpretations of BICs, based on far-field interference of multipoles and near-field analysis of topological charges. We then discuss recent research on manipulating the far-field radiation properties of BICs through engineering topological charges. The second part of the article summarizes recent developments in the applications of BICs, including chiral light and vortex beam generation, nonlinear optical frequency conversion, sensors, and nanolasers. Finally, we conclude with a discussion of the potential of photonic BICs to advance terahertz applications in areas such as generation and detection, modulation, sensing, and isolation. We believe that continued research in this area will lead to exciting new advancements in optoelectronics, particularly in the field of terahertz devices.

Recent Advances and Perspective of Photonic Bound States in the Continuum

Manipulating terahertz (THz) polarization in an efficient and broadband manner is of great significance to facilitating THz applications, including communications, imaging, defense, and homeland security. In this work, a dispersion compensation scheme is proposed for high‐efficiency and ultra‐broadband THz polarization manipulation using an anisotropic dielectric‐metal hybrid metadevice. The operating bandwidth is broadened by dispersion compensation, where the dielectric grating provides an artificial birefringence with a phase dispersion of positive slope and the metallic grating provides a phase dispersion of negative slope. Experimental results show that the device achieves two ultra‐broadband dispersion compensation, corresponding to the achromatic quarter‐wave plate in the lower frequency band (QWP: 0.5–2.0 THz, PCR >0.95) and the achromatic half‐wave plate in the higher frequency band (HWP: 1.0–2.1 THz, PCR >0.9), respectively. Theoretically, the bandwidth of QWP can be further improved to 2.6 THz by optimizing the grating dispersion, which brings huge application space to cover most of the THz radiation. This hybrid metadevice configuration offers a versatile platform for engineering electromagnetic waves, and the strategy of phase compensation can be generalized to extend the bandwidth of the metadevice in imaging and communications.

Topological photonic crystals with robust pseudo-spin and valley edge states have shown promising and wide applications in topological waveguides, lasers, and antennas. However, the limited bandwidth and intrinsic coupling properties of a single pseudo-spin or valley edge state have imposed restrictions on their multifunctional applications in integrated photonic circuits. Here, we propose a topological photonic crystal that can support pseudo-spin and valley edge states simultaneously in a single waveguiding channel, which effectively broadens the bandwidth and enables a multipath routing solution for terahertz information processing and broadcasting. We show that distorted Kekulé lattices can open two types of bandgaps with different topological properties simultaneously by molding the inter- and intra-unit cell coupling of the tight-binding model. The distinct topological origins of the edge states provide versatile signal routing paths toward free space radiation or on-chip self-localized edge modes by virtue of their intrinsic coupling properties. Such a powerful platform could function as an integrated photonic chip with capabilities of broadband on-chip signal processing and distributions that will especially benefit terahertz wireless communications.

For the problem of low Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) of the image reconstructed from Raman spectra, this paper proposes a two-stage denoising algorithm based on deep learning, including spectrum denoising and image denoising. Because spectra and images of the same sample are scarce, the spectrum denoising algorithm and the image denoising one are trained on two irrelevant dataset. Denoising and baseline correction are performed on the raw Raman spectra using 1D-ResUNet. The low SNR images are denoised by Reversed Convolutional Block Attention Module UNet (RCBAM-UNet). Experimental results showed that the Mean Squared Error (MSE) between the denoised spectrum processed by our method and the ground truth decreased by 103-104, when compared to the raw data. The quantitative results of image denoising on Structural Similarity (SSIM) and Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) are 98.4% and 39.7, respectively. The performance of our two-stage algorithm on the testing dataset (an independent dataset) showed increased SNR and Contrast to Noise Ratio (CNR) in Raman imaging denoising. Our study provides an efficient method for the improvement of Raman image quality.
