摘要: 近年来,超构材料尤其是超构界面引起了物理学界的广泛关注,通过在界面处引入相位的不连续,从而实现对波前的任意操控并且实现各种特异的光学现象,这些超构界面采用金属纳米结构或者介质粒子,在界面处实现了高效的反常反射、折射和透射。然而到目前为止,这些对光束的操控都是基于对平面外传播光束的作用。光子学发展的核心方向之一是实现片上的大规模光子集成,片上光操控能够为光子回路、滤波以及复用等功能器件提供新的机理和方法,因此探索在片内实现可集成的光束操控机理至关重要。本文将介绍利用高折射率介质粒子的共振特性,通过巧妙的设计实现片内操控的各种光学奇异现象和波前调控功能的理论和实验进展,通过在构成垂直超构界面的粒子中激发特殊的共振态从而引起奇异的散射场,获得了结构简单、高效、宽频而且在面内传输的新机理片上光学元件,其CMOS兼容和可片上集成的特性增加了在片上光互连的实际应用价值。Abstract: Recently,one important method for optical manipulation is to realize the discontinuity response of phase with the array of different V-shaped gold antennas or dielectric particles,which are elaborately designed to obtain the same phase increment between adjacent antennas and phase coverage of 2π in one lateral period of the antenna array. However,these artificially engineered nanostructures have thus far been limited to operate on light beams propagating out-of-plane. The in-plane operation is critical for on-chip photonic applications. Here,we demonstrate an anomalous optical manipulation of a light beam propagating along the plane,by designing a thin dielectric array of high permittivity nano-posts. The underneath physics is that the particular scattering property of the nano-posts in the line which alters theoutgoing wavefronts. These anomalous phenomenons paves a new way for on-chip beam control for optical communications.
