However, traditional approaches such as spatial light modulation need to utilize numerous complex optical components to generate an OVA and bulky objective lenses to focus it. We reported a highly integrated all-fiber generator of the focused optical vortex array (FOVA) in this work. This generator was prepared by printing a Dammann-Kinoform spiral zone plate (DKSZP) on the fiber facet using femtosecond laser two-photon polymerization (TPP) nanoprinting. The DKSZP can convert the incident Gaussian beam into 1D or 2D FOVA. The focal length, spacing of optical vortices, and topological charge of the generated FOVA were designed and verified through simulation and experimentation. Notably, we have successfully achieved the capture and rotation of silica microsphere trimers, which is attributed to the multiple robust trapping sites carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) provided by the generated FOVA. This achievement provides a novel solution for multi-target manipulation. Our results pave the way for the integration of FOVA generation devices, demonstrating great potential in applications such as particle manipulation, optical communication, optical metrology, and microfluidic pumps.</p>","PeriodicalId":19540,"journal":{"name":"Optics letters","volume":"50 5","pages":"1657-1660"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143527902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A cylindrical lens generates a line that can be focused onto a sample, facilitating rapid two-dimensional image acquisition by requiring only one-axis scanning. To obtain the one-dimensional cross sections of the sample, we encode the position information using an optical chopper, which gradually obstructs the laser beam line as the chopper's blade rotates. The sample's image information along the line is then extracted through temporal derivation of the signal collected by the photodetector. This enables the transformation of the collected signal into an intensity mapping corresponding to the unique spatial locations of each point along the geometric line of the beam. Consequently, scanning along the axis perpendicular to the laser propagation direction enables acquiring a two-dimensional sample image. The derivative optical imaging technique (DOIT) emerges as a valuable tool due to its relatively simple optical setup, fast image acquisition, compatibility with unusual wavelengths where an array camera is unavailable, potential to work with scattering samples, etc. Therefore, this work demonstrates this derivative microscope's operational principles and presents the obtained results.</p>","PeriodicalId":19540,"journal":{"name":"Optics letters","volume":"50 5","pages":"1504-1507"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143527947","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this, we have proposed a novel coplanar labyrinthine acoustic metamaterial with continuously varying channel widths with a micro-hole perforated cover plate for wave entry. Using an iterative backward acoustic impedance calculation by impedance translation theorem, a theoretical model for the sound absorption by the metamaterial has been developed, and validated numerically and experimentally. The sound absorption mechanism is analyzed using acoustic particle velocity fields. The key geometrical parameters (number of channels, metamaterial diameter, cover plate thickness, and micro-hole diameter) that significantly impact the sound absorption response and the method of tuning them to attain low-frequency sound attenuation below 500 Hz while maintaining a high absorption magnitude and broader bandwidth have been determined. The material is demonstrated to be a better sound absorber than Helmholtz resonator and existing coplanar metamaterials. Additionally, the impact of the metamaterial unit cell lattice on sound transmission loss, pressure drop, and ventilation efficiency is examined. The hexagonal lattice with 9.31 % ventilation provides better noise reduction than the square lattice with 21.46 % ventilation. A 17 dB difference in sound transmission loss at 510 Hz and peak sound transmission loss of 39 dB and 35 dB respectively, for hexagonal and square lattice configurations, have been experimentally verified.
