| 2 | Computational imaging without a computer:seeing through random diffusers at the speed of light显示文摘Imaging through diffusers presents a challenging problem with various digital image reconstruction solutions demonstrated to date using computers.Here,we present a computer-free,all-optical image reconstruction method to see through random diffusers at the speed of light.Using deep learning,a set of transmissive diffractive surfaces are trained to all-optically reconstruct images of arbitrary objects that are completely covered by unknown,random phase diffusers.After the training stage,which is a one-time effort,the resulting diffractive surfaces are fabricated and form a passive optical network that is physically positioned between the unknown object and the image plane to all-optically reconstruct the object pattern through an unknown,new phase diffuser.We experimentally demonstrated this concept using coherent THz illumination and all-optically reconstructed objects distorted by unknown,random diffusers,never used during training.Unlike digital methods,all-optical diffractive reconstructions do not require power except for the illumination light.This diffractive solution to see through diffusers can be extended to other wavelengths,and might fuel various applications in biomedical imaging,astronomy,atmospheric sciences,oceanography,security,robotics,autonomous vehicles,among many others. | Yi Luo Yifan Zhao Jingxi Li Ege Çetintaş Yair Rivenson Mona Jarrahi Aydogan Ozcan | 2022 | eLight2022，2，1： | 16 |
| 3 | Highlighting photonics: looking into the next decade显示文摘Let there be light-to change the world we want to be!Over the past several decades,and ever since the birth of the first laser,mankind has witnessed the development of the science of light,as light-based technologies have revolutionarily changed our lives.Needless to say,photonics has now penetrated into many aspects of science and technology,turning into an important and dynamically changing field of increasing interdisciplinary interest.In this inaugural issue of eLight,we highlight a few emerging trends in photonics that we think are likely to have major impact at least in the upcoming decade,spanning from integrated quantum photonics and quantum computing,through topological/non-Hermitian photonics and topological insulator lasers,to AI-empowered nanophotonics and photonic machine learning.This Perspective is by no means an attempt to summarize all the latest advances in photonics,yet we wish our subjective vision could fuel inspiration and foster excitement in scientific research especially for young researchers who love the science of light. | Zhigang Chen Mordechai Segev | 2021 | eLight2021，1，1： | 14 |
| 4 | Intelligent metasurfaces:control,communication and computing显示文摘Controlling electromagnetic waves and information simultaneously by information metasurfaces is of central importance in modern society.Intelligent metasurfaces are smart platforms to manipulate the wave-information-matter interactions without manual intervention by synergizing engineered ultrathin structures with active devices and algorithms,which evolve from the passive composite materials for tailoring wave-matter interactions that cannot be achieved in nature.Here,we review the recent progress of intelligent metasurfaces in wave-information-matter controls by providing the historical background and underlying physical mechanisms.Then we explore the application of intelligent metasurfaces in developing novel wireless communication architectures,with particular emphasis on metasurface-modulated backscatter wireless communications.We also explore the wave-based computing by using the intelligent metasurfaces,focusing on the emerging research direction in intelligent sensing.Finally,we comment on the challenges and highlight the potential routes for the further developments of the intelligent metasurfaces for controls,communications and computing. | Lianlin Li Hanting Zhao Che Liu Long Li Tie Jun Cui | 2022 | eLight2022，2，1： | 7 |
| 5 | Two-photon MINFLUX with doubled localization precision显示文摘Achieving localization with molecular precision has been of great interest for extending fluorescence microscopy to nanoscopy.MINFLUX pioneers this transition through point spread function(PSF)engineering,yet its performance is primarily limited by the signal-to-background ratio.Here we demonstrate theoretically that two-photon MINFLUX(2p-MINFLUX)could double its localization precision through PSF engineering by nonlinear effect.Cramér-Rao Bound(CRB)is studied as the maximum localization precision,and CRB of two-photon MINFLUX is halved compared to single-photon MINFLUX(1p-MINFLUX)in all three dimensions.Meanwhile,in order to achieve same localization precision with 1p-MINFLUX,2p-MINFLUX requires only 1/4 of fluorescence photons.Exploiting simultaneous two-photon excitation of multiple fluorophore species,2p-MINFLUX may have the potential for registration-free nanoscopy and multicolor tracking. | Kun Zhao Xinzhu Xu Wei Ren Dayong Jin Peng Xi | 2022 | eLight2022，2，1： | 4 |
| 6 | To image,or not to image:class-specific diffractive cameras with all-optical erasure of undesired objects显示文摘Privacy protection is a growing concern in the digital era,with machine vision techniques widely used throughout public and private settings.Existing methods address this growing problem by,e.g.,encrypting camera images or obscuring/blurring the imaged information through digital algorithms.Here,we demonstrate a camera design that performs class-specific imaging of target objects with instantaneous all-optical erasure of other classes of objects.This diffractive camera consists of transmissive surfaces structured using deep learning to perform selective imaging of target classes of objects positioned at its input field-of-view.After their fabrication,the thin diffractive layers collectively perform optical mode filtering to accurately form images of the objects that belong to a target data class or group of classes,while instantaneously erasing objects of the other data classes at the output field-of-view.Using the same framework,we also demonstrate the design of class-specific permutation and class-specific linear transformation cameras,where the objects of a target data class are pixel-wise permuted or linearly transformed following an arbitrarily selected transformation matrix for all-optical class-specific encryption,while the other classes of objects are irreversibly erased from the output image.The success of class-specific diffractive cameras was experimentally demonstrated using terahertz(THz)waves and 3D-printed diffractive layers that selectively imaged only one class of the MNIST handwritten digit dataset,all-optically erasing the other handwritten digits.This diffractive camera design can be scaled to different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum,including,e.g.,the visible and infrared wavelengths,to provide transformative opportunities for privacy-preserving digital cameras and task-specific data-efficient imaging. | Bijie Bai Yi Luo Tianyi Gan Jingtian Hu Yuhang Li Yifan Zhao Deniz Mengu Mona Jarrahi Aydogan Ozcan | 2022 | eLight2022，2，1： | 4 |
| 7 | Hyperbolic metamaterials: fusing artificial structures to natural 2D materials显示文摘Optical metamaterials have presented an innovative method of manipulating light.Hyperbolic metamaterials have an extremely high anisotropy with a hyperbolic dispersion relation.They are able to support high-k modes and exhibit a high density of states which produce distinctive properties that have been exploited in various applications,such as super-resolution imaging,negative refraction,and enhanced emission control.Here,state-of-the-art hyperbolic metamaterials are reviewed,starting from the fundamental principles to applications of artificially structured hyperbolic media to suggest ways to fuse natural two-dimensional hyperbolic materials.The review concludes by indicating the current challenges and our vision for future applications of hyperbolic metamaterials. | Dasol Lee Sunae So Guangwei Hu Minkyung Kim Trevon Badloe Hanlyun Cho Jaekyung Kim Hongyoon Kim Cheng‑Wei Qiu Junsuk Rho | 2022 | eLight2022，2，1： | 3 |
| 8 | Phyllotaxis-inspired nanosieves with multiplexed orbital angular momentum显示文摘Nanophotonic platforms such as metasurfaces,achieving arbitrary phase profiles within ultrathin thickness,emerge as miniaturized,ultracompact and kaleidoscopic optical vortex generators.However,it is often required to segment or interleave independent sub-array metasurfaces to multiplex optical vortices in a single nano-device,which in turn affects the device’s compactness and channel capacity.Here,inspired by phyllotaxis patterns in pine cones and sunflowers,we theoretically prove and experimentally report that multiple optical vortices can be produced in a single compact phyllotaxis nanosieve,both in free space and on a chip,where one meta-atom may contribute to many vortices simultaneously.The time-resolved dynamics of on-chip interference wavefronts between multiple plasmonic vortices was revealed by ultrafast time-resolved photoemission electron microscopy.Our nature-inspired optical vortex generator would facilitate various vortex-related optical applications,including structured wavefront shaping,free-space and plasmonic vortices,and high-capacity information metaphotonics. | Zhongwei Jin David Janoschka Junhong Deng Lin Ge Pascal Dreher Bettina Frank Guangwei Hu Jincheng Ni Yuanjie Yang Jing Li Changyuan Yu Dangyuan Lei Guixin Li Shumin Xiao Shengtao Mei Harald Giessen Frank Meyer zu Heringdorf Cheng-Wei Qiu | 2021 | eLight2021，1，1： | 3 |
| 9 | Phonon scattering and exciton localization: molding exciton flux in two dimensional disorder energy landscape显示文摘Two dimensional excitonic devices are of great potential to overcome the dilemma of response time and integration in current generation of electron or/and photon based systems.The ultrashort diffusion length of exciton arising from ultrafast relaxation and low carrier mobility greatly discounts the performance of excitonic devices.Phonon scattering and exciton localization are crucial to understand the modulation of exciton flux in two dimensional disorder energy landscape,which still remain elusive.Here,we report an optimized scheme for exciton diffusion and relaxation dominated by phonon scattering and disorder potentials in WSe2 monolayers.The effective diffusion coefficient is enhanced by>200%at 280 K.The excitons tend to be localized by disorder potentials accompanied by the steadily weakening of phonon scattering when temperature drops to 260 K,and the onset of exciton localization brings forward as decreasing temperature.These findings identify that phonon scattering and disorder potentials are of great importance for long-range exciton diffusion and thermal management in exciton based systems,and lay a firm foundation for the development of functional excitonic devices. | Pengfei Qi Yang Luo Beibei Shi Wei Li Donglin Liu Liheng Zheng Zhixin Liu Yanglong Hou Zheyu Fang | 2021 | eLight2021，1，1： | 3 |
| 10 | Highly sensitive force measurements in an optically generated, harmonic hydrodynamic trap显示文摘The use of optical tweezers to measure forces acting upon microscopic particles has revolutionised fields from material science to cell biology.However,despite optical control capabilities,this technology is highly constrained by the material properties of the probe,and its use may be limited due to concerns about the effect on biological processes.Here we present a novel,optically controlled trapping method based on light-induced hydrodynamic flows.Specifically,we leverage optical control capabilities to convert a translationally invariant topological defect of a flow field into an attractor for colloids in an effectively one-dimensional harmonic,yet freely rotatable system.Circumventing the need to stabilise particle dynamics along an unstable axis,this novel trap closely resembles the isotropic dynamics of optical tweezers.Using magnetic beads,we explicitly show the existence of a linear force-extension relationship that can be used to detect femtoNewton-range forces with sensitivity close to the thermal limit.Our force measurements remove the need for laser-particle contact,while also lifting material constraints,which renders them a particu-larly interesting tool for the life sciences and engineering. | Iliya D.Stoev Benjamin Seelbinder Elena Erben Nicola Maghelli Moritz Kreysing | 2021 | eLight2021，1，1： | 3 |
| 11 | Thermal photonics with broken symmetries显示文摘Nanophotonic engineering provides an effective platform to manipulate thermal emission on-demand,enabling unprecedented heat management superior to conventional bulk materials.Amongst a plethora of nanophotonic structures,symmetries play an important role in controlling radiative heat transfer in both near-field and far-field.In physics,broken symmetries generally increase the degree of freedom in a system,enriching the understanding of physical mechanisms and bringing many exciting opportunities for novel applications.In this review,we discussed the underlying physics and functionalities of nanophotonic structures with broken geometrical symmetries,engineered mode symmetries,and broken reciprocity for the control of thermal emission.We overview a variety of physical phenomena and interesting applications,and provide the outlook for future development. | Tianji Liu Cheng Guo Wei Li Shanhui Fan | 2022 | eLight2022，2，1： | 3 |
| 12 | Light-driven single-cell rotational adhesion frequency assay显示文摘The interaction between cell surface receptors and extracellular ligands is highly related to many physiological processes in living systems.Many techniques have been developed to measure the ligand-receptor binding kinetics at the single-cell level.However,few techniques can measure the physiologically relevant shear binding affinity over a single cell in the clinical environment.Here,we develop a new optical technique,termed single-cell rotational adhesion frequency assay(scRAFA),that mimics in vivo cell adhesion to achieve label-free determination of both homogeneous and heterogeneous binding kinetics of targeted cells at the subcellular level.Moreover,the scRAFA is also applicable to analyze the binding affinities on a single cell in native human biofluids.With its superior performance and general applicability,scRAFA is expected to find applications in study of the spatial organization of cell surface receptors and diagnosis of infectious diseases. | Yaoran Liu Hongru Ding Jingang Li Xin Lou Mingcheng Yang Yuebing Zheng | 2022 | eLight2022，2，1： | 2 |
| 13 | Large-scale phase retrieval显示文摘High-throughput computational imaging requires efficient processing algorithms to retrieve multi-dimensional and multi-scale information.In computational phase imaging,phase retrieval(PR)is required to reconstruct both amplitude and phase in complex space from intensity-only measurements.The existing PR algorithms suffer from the tradeoff among low computational complexity,robustness to measurement noise and strong generalization on different modalities.In this work,we report an efficient large-scale phase retrieval technique termed as LPR.It extends the plug-and-play generalized-alternating-projection framework from real space to nonlinear complex space.The alternating projection solver and enhancing neural network are respectively derived to tackle the measurement formation and statistical prior regularization.This framework compensates the shortcomings of each operator,so as to realize high-fidelity phase retrieval with low computational complexity and strong generalization.We applied the technique for a series of computational phase imaging modalities including coherent diffraction imaging,coded diffraction pattern imaging,and Fourier ptychographic microscopy.Extensive simulations and experiments validate that the technique outperforms the existing PR algorithms with as much as 17dB enhancement on signal-to-noise ratio,and more than one order-of-magnitude increased running efficiency.Besides,we for the first time demonstrate ultralarge-scale phase retrieval at the 8K level(7680×4320 pixels)in minute-level time. | Xuyang Chang Liheng Bian Jun Zhang | 2021 | eLight2021，1，1： | 2 |
| 14 | Upconversion nanoparticles for super-resolution quantification of single small extracellular vesicles显示文摘Although small EVs(sEVs)have been used widely as biomarkers in disease diagnosis,their heterogeneity at single EV level has rarely been revealed.This is because high-resolution characterization of sEV presents a major challenge,as their sizes are below the optical diffraction limit.Here,we report that upconversion nanoparticles(UCNPs)can be used for super-resolution profiling the molecular heterogeneity of sEVs.We show that Er3+-doped UCNPs has better brightness and Tm3+-doped UCNPs resulting in better resolution beyond diffraction limit.Through an orthogonal experimental design,the specific targeting of UCNPs to the tumour epitope on single EV has been cross validated,resulting in the Pearson’s R-value of 0.83 for large EVs and~65%co-localization double-positive spots for sEVs.Furthermore,super-resolution nanoscopy can distinguish adjacent UCNPs on single sEV with a resolution of as high as 41.9 nm.When decreasing the size of UCNPs from 40 to 27 nm and 18 nm,we observed that the maximum UCNPs number on single sEV increased from 3 to 9 and 21,respectively.This work suggests the great potentials of UCNPs approach“digitally”quantify the surface antigens on single EVs,therefore providing a solution to monitor the EV heterogeneity changes along with the tumour progression progress. | Guan Huang Yongtao Liu Dejiang Wang Ying Zhu Shihui Wen Juanfang Ruan Dayong Jin | 2022 | eLight2022，2，1： | 2 |
| 15 | Computational spectropolarimetry with a tunable liquid crystal metasurface显示文摘While conventional photodetectors can only measure light intensity,the vectorial light field contains much richer information,including polarization and spectrum,that are essential for numerous applications ranging from imaging to telecommunication.However,the simultaneous measurement of multi-dimensional light field information typically requires the multiplexing of dispersive or polarization-selective elements,leading to excessive system complexity.Here,we demonstrate a near-infrared spectropolarimeter based on an electrically-tunable liquid crystal metasurface.The tunable metasurface,which acts as an encoder of the vectorial light field,is tailored to support high-quality-factor guided-mode resonances with diverse and anisotropic spectral features,thus allowing the full Stokes parameters and the spectrum of the incident light to be computationally reconstructed with high fidelity.The concept of using a tunable metasurface for multi-dimensional light field encoding may open up new horizons for developing vectorial light field sensors with minimized size,weight,cost,and complexity. | Yibo Ni Chen Chen Shun Wen Xinyuan Xue Liqun Sun Yuanmu Yang | 2022 | eLight2022，2，1： | 2 |
| 16 | Image encryption using spatial nonlinear optics显示文摘Optical technologies have been widely used in information security owing to its parallel and high-speed processing capability.However,the most critical problem with current optical encryption techniques is that the cyphertext is linearly related with the plaintext,leading to the possibility that one can crack the system by solving a set of linear equations with only two cyphertext from the same encryption machine.Many efforts have been taken in the last decade to resolve the linearity issue,but none of these offers a true nonlinear solution.Inspired by the recent advance in spatial nonlinear optics,here we demonstrate a true nonlinear optical encryption technique.We show that,owing to the self-phase modulation effect of the photorefractive crystal,the proposed nonlinear optical image encryption technique is robust against the known plaintext attack based on phase retrieval.This opens up a new avenue for optical encryption in the spatial nonlinear domain. | Junfeng Hou Guohai Situ | 2022 | eLight2022，2，1： | 2 |
| 17 | Surface Dyakonov-Cherenkov radiation显示文摘Recent advances in engineered material technologies(e.g.,photonic crystals,metamaterials,plasmonics,etc.)provide valuable tools to control Cherenkov radiation.In all these approaches,however,the particle velocity is a key parameter to affect Cherenkov radiation in the designed material,while the influence of the particle trajectory is generally negligible.Here,we report on surface Dyakonov-Cherenkov radiation,i.e.the emission of directional Dyakonov surface waves from a swift charged particle moving atop a birefringent crystal.This new type of Cherenkov radiation is highly susceptible to both the particle velocity and trajectory,e.g.we observe a sharp radiation enhancement when the particle trajectory falls in the vicinity of a particular direction.Moreover,close to the Cherenkov threshold,such a radiation enhancement can be orders of magnitude higher than that obtained in traditional Cherenkov detectors.These distinct properties allow us to determine simultaneously the magnitude and direction of particle velocities on a compact platform.The surface Dyakonov-Cherenkov radiation studied in this work not only adds a new degree of freedom for particle identification,but also provides an all-dielectric route to construct compact Cherenkov detectors with enhanced sensitivity. | Hao Hu Xiao Lin Liang Jie Wong Qianru Yang Dongjue Liu Baile Zhang Yu Luo | 2022 | eLight2022，2，1： | 1 |
| 18 | Hybrid optical parametrically-oscillating emitter at 1930 nm for volumetric photoacoustic imaging of water content显示文摘Water plays a vital role in biological metabolism and it would be essential to trace the water content non-invasively,such as leveraging the vibrational absorption peak of the O-H bond.However,due to the lack of an efficient laser source,it was challenging to image the water content in the deep tissue with micron-level spatial resolution.To address this problem,we develop a high-power hybrid optical parametrically-oscillating emitter(HOPE)at 1930 nm,at which the vibrational absorption peak of the O-H bond locates.The maximum pulse energy is over 1.74μJ with a pulse repetition rate of 50 kHz and a pulse width of 15 ns.We employ this laser source in the optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy(OR-PAM)system to image the water content in the phantom and the biological tissue in vitro.Our 1930-nm OR-PAM could map the water content in the complex tissue environment at high spatial resolution,deep penetration depth,improved sensitivity,and suppressed artifact signal of the lipid. | Jiawei Shi Mingsheng Li Huajun Tang Jiqiang Kang Najia Sharmin Amir Rosenthal Kenneth K.Y.Wong | 2022 | eLight2022，2，1： | 1 |
| 19 | Floquet metamaterials显示文摘Recent progress in nanophotonics and material science has inspired a strong interest in optically-induced material dynamics,opening new research directions in the distinct fields of Floquet matter and time metamaterials.Floquet phenomena are historically rooted in the condensed matter community,as they exploit periodic temporal drives to unveil novel phases of matter,unavailable in systems at equilibrium.In parallel,the field of metamaterials has been offering a platform for exotic wave phenomena based on tailored materials at the nanoscale,recently enhanced by incorporating time variations and switching as new degrees of freedom.In this Perspective,we connect these research areas and describe the exciting opportunities emerging from their synergy,hinging on giant wave-matter interactions enabled by metamaterials and on the exotic wave dynamics enabled by Floquet and parametric phenomena.We envision Floquet metamaterials in which nontrivial modulation dynamics,and their interplay with tailored material dispersion and nontrivial material properties such as anisotropy,non-Hermiticity and nonreciprocity,introduce a plethora of novel opportunities for wave manipulation and control. | Shixiong Yin Emanuele Galiffi Andrea Alù | 2022 | eLight2022，2，1： | 1 |
| 20 | In-situ neutron-transmutation for substitutional doping in 2D layered indium selenide based phototransistor显示文摘Neutron-transmutation doping(NTD)has been demonstrated for the first time in this work for substitutional introduction of tin(Sn)shallow donors into two-dimensional(2D)layered indium selenide(InSe)to manipulate electron transfer and charge carrier dynamics.Multidisciplinary study including density functional theory,transient optical absorption,and FET devices have been carried out to reveal that the field effect electron mobility of the fabricated phototransistor is increased 100-fold due to the smaller electron effective mass and longer electron life time in the Sn-doped InSe.The responsivity of the Sn-doped InSe based phototransistor is accordingly enhanced by about 50 times,being as high as 397 A/W.The results show that NTD is a highly effective and controllable doping method,possessing good compatibility with the semiconductor manufacturing process,even after device fabrication,and can be carried out without introducing any contamination,which is radically different from traditional doping methods. | Zhinan Guo Yonghong Zeng Fanxu Meng Hengze Qu Shengli Zhang Shipeng Hu Sidi Fan Haibo Zeng Rui Cao Paras N.Prasad Dianyuan Fan Han Zhang | 2022 | eLight2022，2，1： | 1 |
