Metalens as one of the most popular applications of emmerging optical metasurfaces has raised widspread interest recently. With nano structures fully controlling phase, polarization and transmission, metalens has achieved comparable…
We present an overview on the development and characterization of multiscale laser processing optics for versatile material modifications across more than six orders of magnitude. Starting with solutions for micromachining we present…
Photonic devices play an increasingly important role in advancing physics and engineering, and while improvements in nanofabrication and computational methods have driven dramatic progress in expanding the range of achievable optical…
Conventional metalenses control light by varying meta-atom geometry, a design strategy that inherently couples phase modulation to structural dimensions and exacerbates chromatic dispersion. Here, we break this paradigm by decoupling phase…
In this paper we present an inverse-designed 3D-printed all-dielectric stretchable millimeter wave metalens with a tunable focal distance. Computational inverse-design method is used to design a flat metalens made of disconnected building…
Strong intensity attenuation limits the use of conventional diffraction-free optical elements. We show a possible solution to the exponential intensity attenuation limiting the use of Fresnel-type diffraction-free nanometer-scale optics by…
We present a new technique for the design of transformation-optics devices based on large-scale optimization to achieve the optimal effective isotropic dielectric materials within prescribed index bounds, which is computationally cheap…
Achieving simultaneous broadband achromatic focusing and a wide field of view remains a significant challenge for metalenses. In this work, we begin with a quadratic phase profile, enabling full field-of-view designs, and apply dispersion…
A well-known lower bound widely used in the massive MIMO literature hinges on channel hardening, i.e., the phenomenon for which, thanks to the large number of antennas, the effective channel coefficients resulting from beamforming tend to…
Recent theoretical work suggested upper bounds on the operating bandwidths of flat lenses. Here, we show how these bounds can be circumvented via a multi-level diffractive lens (MDL) of diameter = 100 mm, focal length = 200 mm, device…
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…
Metalens, as the most promising and applicable emerging optical device, has long been constrained by the limited field of view (FOV). Recent studies employing phase engineering or multi-layer strategies have made some progress, but they all…
Our visual perception of our surroundings is ultimately limited by the diffraction limit, which stipulates that optical information smaller than roughly half the illumination wavelength is not retrievable. Over the past decades, many…
Material losses in metals are a central bottleneck in plasmonics for many applications. Here we propose and theoretically demonstrate that metal losses can be successfully mitigated with dielectric particles on metallic films, giving rise…
Existing optimization methods are used to calculate the upper-bounds on radiation efficiency with and without the constraint on self-resonance. These bounds are used for the design and assessment of small electric-dipole-type antennas. We…
We demonstrate optimization of optical metasurfaces over $10^5$--$10^6$ degrees of freedom in two and three dimensions, 100--1000+ wavelengths ($\lambda$) in diameter, with 100+ parameters per $\lambda^2$. In particular, we show how…
Metalenses, which exhibit superior light-modulating performance with sub-micrometer-scale thicknesses, are suitable alternatives to conventional bulky refractive lenses. However, fabrication limitations, such as a high cost, low throughput,…
Meta-optics has achieved major breakthroughs in the past decade; however, conventional forward design faces challenges as functionality complexity and device size scale up. Inverse design aims at optimizing meta-optics design but has been…
Optical metasurfaces have catalyzed transformative advances across imaging, optoelectronics, quantum information processing, sensing, energy conversion, and optical computing. Yet, despite this rapid progress, most research remains focused…
A memetic framework for optimal inverse design is proposed by combining a local gradient-based procedure and a robust global scheme. The procedure is based on method-of-moments matrices and does not demand full inversion of a system matrix.…
