Introducing a specialized design for photonic band gap (PBG), the PPS adheres to the principles of PBG. This design comprises a host structure and an anti-reflection structure carefully selected within the yellow light band (frequency range spans from 530 THz to 510 THz). The given PPS creates an angle selection (AS) window exhibiting transmittance consistently above 0.85 within −29° to 29° while ensuring transmittance drops to 0.1 within the −90° to −46° and 46°–90° range. This arrangement effectively achieves the desired PPS. The effects of the host structure on the four key parameters of refractive index and thickness of the two media on PPS properties were studied in detail. The influence of these parameters mainly involves the transmittance of the visible area, the AS, and the transmittance of the protected area.","PeriodicalId":16775,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optics","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140940343","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

Our approach relies on the combination of complex amplitude modulation (CAM) and on-axis modulation, two techniques that seem incompatible at first glance. The first one produces scalar structured light fields in phase and amplitude with high accuracy, while the second one is preferred for generating vector beams of great stability although of reduced quality. Specifically, the idea behind our technique is to send the shaped light produced by CAM co-axially with the zeroth order, rather than diffracted to the first order, as it is commonly done. We first describe our technique, explaining the generation of the hologram and experimental setup to isolate the desired vector mode, and then present experimental results that corroborate our approach. We first address the quality of the generated beams using Stokes polarimetry to reconstruct their transverse polarisation distribution, and then compare their stability against the same mode produced using a Sagnac interferometric method. Our vector beams are of good quality and remarkably stable, two qualities that we expect will appeal to the community working with vector modes.","PeriodicalId":16775,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optics","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140940169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

Here, we explore the resonantly enhanced four-wave mixing (FWM) process from individual silicon resonators and propose an innovative FWM-enabled infrared imaging technique that leverages the capabilities of these subwavelength resonators. Specifically, we designed high-Q silicon resonators hosting dual quasi-bound states in the continuum at both the input pump and signal beams, enabling efficient conversion of infrared light to visible radiation. Moreover, by employing a point-scanning imaging technique, we achieve infrared imaging conversion while minimising the dependence on high-power input sources. This combination of resonant enhancement and point-scanning imaging opens up new possibilities for nonlinear imaging using individual resonators and shows potential in advancing infrared imaging techniques for high-resolution imaging, sensing, and optical communications.","PeriodicalId":16775,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optics","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140940167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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 commercial grating is used to encode a time window of ∼56 ps in a single pulse; therefore, there is no need for machining customization. In addition, in this technique, the grating surface is accurately imaged, eliminating the image blur problem caused by phase differences in previous echelon-based techniques. Moreover, to make full use of the grating surface and obtain a larger time window, a simple reflection echelon is combined that matches the grating in the time window. This combination encoding strategy results in a total time window of ∼109 ps and maintains accurate imaging of the grating surface. This time window is an order of magnitude greater than the maximum reported values of the echelon encoding strategy and the angle beam encoding strategy. To demonstrate this single-shot pump-probe technique, the two-photon absorption process of ZnSe and the excited-state absorption process of a symmetrical phenoxazinium bromine salt were studied. The possibility of further improving the experimental setup is also discussed.","PeriodicalId":16775,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optics","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140940164","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

Correspondingly, this paper introduces a multi-image invisible VC system based on dual optical multiplexing. Under the conditions of diffraction distance multiplexing and wavelength multiplexing, the visual keys of secret images are concealed within a phase key in the Fresnel domain. This method enhances the system’s security through dual optical multiplexing and ensures a certain capacity for information concealment.

We show how V-AO can benefit an aberrated imaging system to enhance not only scalar imaging but also the quality of vectorial information. Two important criteria, vectorial precision and uniformity are put forward and used in practice to evaluate the performance of the correction.

Spatial correlation functions reveal differences in the generic organization of the optical momenta in complex natural light fields, with the orbital current typically forming broad channels of unidirectional flow, and the spin current manifesting larger vorticity and changing direction over subwavelength distances.

The effectiveness of the proposed watermarking algorithm is assessed using statistical tools in terms of mean-squared error, information entropy, correlation coefficient, histogram, and mesh plots. The robustness is evaluated by testing the proposed algorithm’s performance under real-time threats, including contamination and data loss attacks.
