Direct generation of tunable vortex beams on an SP radiation platform therefore provides an attractive pathway for multifunctional integrated photonic devices.

By precisely manipulating the interfacial energy-band engineering, the device achieves unique bipolar photoresponse characteristics in a low-power mode near zero bias (±0.01 V).
