To address the increasing demand for ultra-high-capacity wireless communication, terahertz (THz) frequencies near 300 GHz are attracting attention as a new spectral frontier. This work presents the first experimental demonstration of…
Metasurfaces enable powerful control of electromagnetic waves using subwavelength planar structures, but their deeply subwavelength periodicity typically suppresses propagating diffraction orders, which limits the number of available…
Visible-light integrated photonics enables compact platforms for sensing, precision metrology, and free-space data links at visible wavelengths. However, many applications remain limited by the lack of high-speed and robust modulators in…
