Article Abstract

Waveguide-type near-eye displays have useful properties such as compact form factor, lightweight and see-through capability. Conventional systems, however, support only a single image plane fixed at a certain distance, which may induce eye fatigue due to the vergence-accommodation conflict. In this paper, we propose a waveguide-type near-eye display with two image planes using a polarization grating. Two images with orthogonal polarizations propagate within the waveguide with different total internal reflection angles and form virtual images at different distances. The use of the polarization grating and two pairs of holographic optical elements enables dual image plane formation by a single waveguide with high transparency for the real scene. Optical experiments confirm the principle of the proposed optical system.

We propose a dynamically tunable and angle-robust mid-infrared (mid-IR) absorber based on a hybrid metastructure composed of a top-layer Ge grating, an ultrathin SrTiO polar dielectric layer, a thermochromic VO film, and a metallic substrate. The optical response of the system is modeled using rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA), revealing broadband and high-efficiency absorption across a wide range of incident angles (0°-80°) under transverse-magnetic (TM) polarization. The absorption behavior is governed by the interplay of multiple resonant mechanisms, including guided-mode resonance (GMR) in the Ge grating, phonon-polariton (PhP) excitation in the SrTiO layer, and cavity-like modes facilitated by the insulating VO.

Polarization-sensitive photodetection is critical for advanced optical systems, yet achieving simultaneous high-fidelity recognition of the circularly polarized (CP) and linearly polarized (LP) light with compact designs remains challenging. Here, we use COMSOL 5.6 software to demonstrate a silicon metasurface-integrated MCT photodetector that resolves both CP and LP signals through a single ultrathin platform.

Plasmonic polarization conversion offers significant advantages over conventional methods, including a smaller device footprint and easier integration into photonic circuits. In this work, we numerically and experimentally investigate the polarization conversion properties of a plasmonic double-hole structure surrounded by circular nanograting, i.e.

In recent years, the value of research in the field of nonreciprocal energy radiation has been increasing. However, at present, the study of nonreciprocal structures with polarization independence and small-angle incidence is still to be further researched, which is what this paper focuses on. In this paper, a device consisting of a two-dimensional grating, a magneto-optical material layer, and a metal plate is proposed, which can realize polarization-independent nonreciprocity.

Metasurfaces have evolved as prime candidates for miniaturized optical components to tailor the light-matter interaction. Conventionally, the fabrication and design of such metasurfaces with complex antenna structures are well-developed and precise but need clean-room access and multiple fabrication steps. While metasurfaces based on polarization conversion are limited to low efficiencies, metasurfaces with antennas above a metallic mirror reach much higher efficiencies by keeping the initial polarization.
