Reconfigurable metalenses capable of large focal length tuning, fast response times, and high focusing efficiency while maintaining diffraction-limited operation are highly desirable for next-generation adaptive imaging systems. Phase…
Visible light communication (VLC) systems can provide illumination and communication simultaneously via light emitting diodes (LEDs). Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) waveforms transmitted in a VLC system will have high…
We propose a robust spectral beam combining scheme using wavelength dependent polarisation rotators and polarization beam combiners. We successfully demonstrated the concept for two Yb-doped fiber lasers at 1064nm and 1092nm up to a total…
For an optically thick metallic film, the transmission for both s- and p-polarized waves is extremely low. If the metallic film is coated on both sides with a finite dielectric layer, light transmission for $p$-polarized waves can be…
We present shape-independent upper limits to the power--bandwidth product for a single resonance in an optical scatterer, with the bound depending only on the material susceptibility. We show that quasistatic metallic scatterers can nearly…
By coupling silicon nanowires (~150 nm diameter, 20 micron length) with an {\Omega}-shaped plasmonic nanocavity we are able to generate broadband visible luminescence, which is induced by high-order hybrid nanocavity-surface plasmon modes.…
Driven by the prospects of higher bandwidths for optical interconnects, integrated modulators involving materials beyond those available in silicon manufacturing increasingly rely on the Pockels effect. For instance, wafer-scale bonding of…
Graphene is ideally suited for optoelectronic applications. It offers absorption at telecom wavelengths, high-frequency operation and CMOS-compatibility. We report optoelectronic mixing up to to 67GHz using a back-gated graphene field…
The ongoing miniaturization of semiconductor lasers has enabled ultra-low threshold devices and even provided a path to approach thresholdless lasing with linear input-output characteristics. Such nanoscale lasers have initiated a discourse…
We experimentally demonstrate a power limiter based on single-walled carbon nanotubes dispersed in a polymer matrix. This simple fiber-optic device permanently increases its attenuation when subjected to 50-mW or higher cw illumination at…
We propose an approach to optical imaging beyond the diffraction limit, based on transformation optics in concentric circular cylinder domains. The resulting systems allow image magnification and minimize reflection losses due to the…
A planar hyper-lens, capable of creating sub-wavelength imaging for broadband electromagnetic wave, is designed based on electromagnetic null medium. Subsequently, a scheme for the implementation of the proposed hyper-lens is given by using…
Photonic integrated circuits route and shape light on a chip, but back-reflections feed back into coherent on-chip lasers, destabilizing operation and corrupting signals. Robust operation requires an integrated optical isolator that…
Nonlinear metasurfaces are multifunctional photonic elements that generate and control light, enabling multiple proof-of-principle applications, such as in nonlinear holography, beam shaping, and nanoscale sources of entangled photon pairs.…
The impact of nonlinear refraction and residual absorption on the achievable peak and average power in beam-splitter-based coherent beam combination is analyzed theoretically. While the peak power remains limited only by the aperture size,…
Widely-tunable and narrow-linewidth integrated lasers across all visible wavelengths are necessary to enable on-chip technologies such as quantum photonics, optical trapping, and biophotonics. However, such lasers have not been realized due…

Optical fibers have emerged as a transformative platform for building better and more robust solid state lasers. However, the wavelengths available to these lasers are limited. Using hollow core optical fibers allows us to add gases as new…
An electro-absorption optical modulator concept based upon a dual-graphene layer is presented. The device consists of a silicon-on-insulator waveguide upon which two graphene layers reside, separated by a thin insulating region. The lower…
We report room temperature lasing in two-dimensional diffractive lattices of silver and gold plasmon particle arrays embedded in a dye-doped polymer that acts both as waveguide and gain medium. As compared to conventional dielectric…
