Article Abstract
We report on the theoretical and experimental investigations of optical microcavities consisting in the plane-plane arrangement of a broadband high-reflectivity mirror and a suspended one-dimensional grating mirror possessing a high-quality factor Fano resonance. By varying the length of these cavities from the millimeter to the few-micron range, we observe at short lengths the reduction of the spectral linewidth predicted to occur for such a Fano cavity as compared to a conventional broadband mirror cavity with the same length and internal losses. Such narrow linewidth and small modevolume microcavities with high-mechanical quality ultrathin mirrors will be attractive for a wide range of applications within optomechanics and sensing.

We consider resonances induced by symmetry protected bound states in the continuum in dielectric gratings with in-plane mirror symmetry. It is shown that the shape of the resonance in transmittance is controlled by two parameters in a generic formula which can be derived in the framework of the coupled mode theory. It is numerically demonstrated that the formula encompasses various line-shapes including asymmetric Fano, Lorentzian, and anti-Lorentzian resonances.

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.

We report the development of a high-power, nanosecond gain-switched Ti:sapphire laser with a narrow spectral linewidth, achieved by a simple plano-plano cavity design and a volume Bragg grating (VBG) as the cavity end mirror. Pumped by a frequency-doubled Nd:YLF laser, the laser produced a maximum average power of 8.8 W at 775 nm, with a spectral linewidth of approximately 0.

The algorithm was tested on some well-known global optimization benchmark functions, like the Easom and Ackley functions, to validate its efficiency before applying it to more complex real-world scenarios, like the inverse design of photonic structures, specifically a 3dB splitter, a grating coupler, and a multilayer broadband mirror. The SGSO algorithm demonstrated its capability to direct the search process to generate highly performing designs while maintaining computational efficiency.
