    摘要: Wide-angle optical functionality is beneficial for imaging and image projection devices. Conventionally, wide-angle operation is attained by a complicated assembly of optical elements. Recent advances have led to meta-surface lenses or meta-lenses, which are ultra-thin planar lenses with nanoantennas that control the phase, amplitude, and/or polarization of light. Here, we present a meta-lens capable of diffraction-limited focusing and imaging over an unprecedented >170° angular field of view (FOV). The lens is integrated on a one-piece flat substrate and includes an aperture on one side and a single meta-surface on the other side. The meta-surface corrects third-order Seidel aberrations, including coma, astigmatism, and field curvature. The meta-lens has a planar focal plane, which enables considerably simplified system architectures for imaging and projection. The meta-lens design is generic and can be readily adapted to different meta-atom geometries and wavelength ranges to meet diverse application demands.

    摘要: Optical interconnect systems and methods are disclosed. An optical interconnect system includes a substrate, an optical waveguide, and first and second modulators. The optical waveguide has a first waveguide portion extending to a first coupling structure, a second waveguide portion extending from the first coupling structure to a second coupling structure, and a third waveguide portion extending from the second coupling structure. The first modulator is positioned adjacent the first coupling structure, and the second modulator is positioned adjacent the second coupling structure. The optical interconnect method includes modulating light with a first modulator to produce one-time modulated light, and modulating the one-time modulated light with a second modulator to produce two-time modulated light.
