摘要: State-of-the-art portable Raman spectrometers use discrete free-space optical components that must be aligned well and that don't tolerate vibrations well. Conversely, the inventive spectrometers are made with monolithic photonic integration to fabricate some or all optical components on one or more planar substrates. Photonic integration enables dense integration of components, eliminates manual alignment and individual component assembly, and yields superior mechanical stability and resistance to shock or vibration. These features make inventive spectrometers especially suitable for use in high-performance portable or wearable sensors. They also yield significant performance advantages, including a large (e.g., 10,000-fold) increase in Raman scattering efficiency resulting from on-chip interaction of the tightly localized optical mode and the analyte and a large enhancement in spectral resolution and sensitivity resulting from the integration of an on-chip Fourier-transform spectrometer.

摘要: Meta-lens based ocular imaging, near-eye display, and eye-tracking systems are described. The systems can include a single focusing optic and an integrated circuit that provides illumination light and includes an imaging array. The focusing optic includes meta-atoms formed on a substrate. The systems may have no moving parts and achieve imaging or image-projection fields-of-view approaching or exceeding 180 degrees. Because of their low part count, the systems can be robust and have a very small form factor.

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: An apparatus for generating a spectral image includes a filter to receive incident light. The filter has a variable refractive index. The apparatus also includes a modulator, operably coupled to the filter, to modulate the variable refractive index of the filter so as to generate a plurality of optical patterns from the incident light. The plurality of optical patterns represents the spectral image and each optical pattern in the plurality of optical patterns corresponds to a different modulation of the variable refractive index. The apparatus further includes a detector, in optical communication with the filter, to detect the plurality of optical patterns.

摘要: Reversible phase-change materials (PCMs) can be added to or incorporated into meta-lenses, wave plates, waveguides, gratings, and other optical components to form active optical devices with controllable and adjustable optical characteristics. Local heating can be used to induce solid-state phase changes and large refractive index changes in the PCMs. The phase and index changes can provide large changes in the device's optical characteristics. Optical devices with PCM can be used for imaging applications, orbital angular momentum control, photonic integrated circuits and optical communication systems, beam steering, and other application.

摘要: An optical coherence tomography (OCT) engine includes a digital Fourier-Transform (dFT) spectrometer, a tunable delay line, and a high-speed optical phased array (OPA) scanner integrated onto a single chip. The broadband dFT spectrometer offers superior signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and fine axial resolution; the tunable delay line ensures large imaging depth by circumventing sensitivity roll-off; and the OPA can scan the beams at GHz rates without moving parts. Unlike conventional spectrometers, the dFT spectrometer employs an optical switch network to retrieve spectral information in an exponentially scaling fashion—its performance doubles with every new optical switch added to the network. Moreover, it also benefits from the Fellgett's advantage, which provide a significant SNR edge over conventional spectrometers. The tunable delay line balances the path length difference between the reference and sample arms, avoiding any need to sample high-frequency spectral fringes.

摘要: Reflecting light beams off of microscale three-dimensional (3D) freeform surfaces can yield highly efficient coupling into and out of optical waveguides, optical fibers, and photonic chips. The structure of the 3D freeform reflective surface determines the shape of the reflected beam. This allows freeform reflectors to control the mode profile, rotation angle, and divergence angle of light beams. Control of beam shape enables mode matching between source output mode and target input mode, which results in low-loss optical coupling. An inventive freeform reflective surface can direct light beams in plane or out of plane via specular reflection or total internal reflection. A photonic integrated circuit with this type of freeform optical coupler can operate with a bandwidth range of at least 400 nm, potentially encompassing all visible or telecommunications wavelengths, and can be volume manufactured in photonic chips.

摘要: A photovoltaic (PV) apparatus includes a substrate having a first substrate surface and a second substrate surface. A cavity fabricated in the substrate extends from the first substrate surface toward the second substrate surface. The cavity defines a first end to receive incident light, a second end opposite the first end, and a side surface, which extends from the first end to the second end to concentrate the incident light, received by the first end, toward the second end. The PV apparatus also includes a photovoltaic (PV) cell, in optical communication with the second end of the at least one cavity, to convert the incident light into electricity.
