Article Abstract
Dynamic optical beam manipulation is vital for advancing photonic technologies, including light detection and ranging (LiDAR), free-space optical wireless communication (OWC), three-dimensional imaging, and dynamic holography. Traditional non-mechanical beam-steering methods, such as optical phase arrays, spatial light modulators, and focal plane switch arrays, face challenges in scalability, fabrication complexity, and data transmission demands. This work introduces a framework for dynamic optical field design based on multi-wavelength interference, achieving precise spatiotemporal modulation. Using double-slit and multi-slit configurations, the method, demonstrated through theoretical simulations, enables multiple dynamic transformation periods from picoseconds to seconds, angular velocities of scanning up to 2.1 × 10 rad/s, and fringe motion speeds reaching 2.4 × 10 m/s. Experimental validation with acousto-optic modulators slows down the speed by over 10 orders to a 2 Hz frequency, visible to the naked eye, and demonstrating the multi-scale manipulation potentials. This robust and scalable approach offers a transformative platform for LiDAR, integrated photonics, and optical computing applications.

This study focuses on exploring the feasibility and accuracy of triple-wavelength integrated path differential absorption (IPDA) lidar to measure the atmospheric column concentration. Traditional IPDA lidar-based two wavelengths for measuring are highly dependent on meteorological parameters such as temperature, pressure, and humidity. Multi-wavelength IPDA lidar has shown potential for overcoming these challenges.

Background: Recent developments in trace analyte determinations can largely be described as "multi-signal" methods, in which both axes of calibration curves are measured instrumental signals instead of the traditional relationship between analyte signal and concentration. While multi-signal methods have various benefits, many are limited in sample throughput, have a limited ability to correct for matrix effects, or require each analyte species to have several significant measurable signals. Multi-wavelength internal standardization (MWIS) is a novel strategy that directly addresses the limitations of some of the recently described multi-signal techniques, using multiple emission wavelengths for both analyte species and a suite of internal standards.

For the Chinese Giant Solar Telescope (CGST), achieving optical interferometric measurements with a range of 10 m or more is a critical challenge that must be addressed to integrate the the co-focus and phasing adjustment processes. Given the unique requirements of solar observation, CGST intends to implement multi-wavelength technology to tackle the measurement range issue.

Through the inverse design of the layer thicknesses, this structure manipulates spatial frequency components of an incoming wavefront, selectively reflecting high-frequency features while suppressing low-frequency intensity variations. Simulations reveal a reflectance transition from minimal to near-total as a function of numerical aperture, a property leveraged for enhancing edge contrast in optical imaging.
