With their inherent characteristics of rotational invariance, modal intensity uniformity, and manageable modal degeneracy, OAM modes uniquely enable ultra-high-capacity transmission while significantly mitigating inter-channel crosstalk and simplifying system architecture. Underpinned by these advantages, remarkable progress has been made across the critical components of OAM-based systems: advanced fibers supporting high-density low-crosstalk propagation of high-order OAM modes across distances of tens to hundreds of kilometers, high-performance scalable multiplexers and demultiplexers, and optical amplifiers with equalized modal gain. Collectively, these innovations have promoted OAM-based SDM systems to a technological level characterized by petabit-per-second capacities and ultra-high spectral efficiencies, longer transmission reaches, with low and manageable MIMO processing complexity. Together, they position OAM technology as a transformative solution to the capacity bottlenecks of conventional single-mode fibers, paving the way for the next generation of high-density, energy-efficient optical networks.","PeriodicalId":19515,"journal":{"name":"Optica","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148401699","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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 crucial but elusive step toward realizing this platform is to engineer a device with a high-quality factor mechanical mode while preserving the bulk-like coherence of embedded spins. Here, we demonstrate sideband-resolved diamond OMCs with mechanical quality factors in excess of \u0000 at cryogenic temperatures and find coherence times up to \u0000µ\u0000 for embedded nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers. Furthermore, we measure these devices across five orders of magnitude in intracavity optical power, demonstrating robust power handling and a high optomechanical cooperativity ( \u0000) at cryogenic temperatures, which is essential for a broad range of quantum protocols requiring strong, coherent interactions between photons and phonons. These results are enabled by a robust, high-throughput method for forming single-crystal diamond membranes in combination with chemical vapor deposition (CVD) diamond overgrowth with nitrogen \u0000-doping. We discuss the prospects of this platform for hybrid spin-mechanical devices in the quantum regime.","PeriodicalId":19515,"journal":{"name":"Optica","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148401587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}

However, robust fabrication of high-efficiency devices remains challenging, as existing domain engineering methods lack precise and robust controls of polarity distributions. Here, we propose and demonstrate a domain engineering technique that utilizes nanoscale Faraday cages to shape the electric-field distributions during poling, physically defining polarity distribution by the geometry of the Faraday cages without real-time monitoring. As a proof of concept, the method is used to fabricate a spatially selectively poled TFLN waveguide, where all regions are poled except for a 400 nm wide central strip. This waveguide achieves a normalized SHG efficiency of \u0000W\u0000cm\u0000. Systematic investigation of the inverted domain growth dynamics confirms the enhanced precision and robustness of this approach over conventional time-controlled methods, paving the way for scalable nonlinear photonic circuits.","PeriodicalId":19515,"journal":{"name":"Optica","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148401610","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}

While remarkable control over collective multimode states of light has been achieved in nonlinear optical systems driven out of equilibrium, the effect of noise injected through the drive remains understudied. By introducing temporal noise into the modulation of the laser cavity, we create a fluctuating potential along a synthetic frequency lattice formed by the laser modes. As the noise strength increases, the laser emission evolves through three distinct regimes: a broad spectrum, a Gaussian distribution, and finally exponential localization. Time-resolved spectroscopy reveals that transport across the synthetic lattice persists in the Gaussian regime, where it is shaped by the fluctuating potential, but becomes fully suppressed in the localized regime. Our results demonstrate that temporal noise can induce localization in a nonlinear synthetic photonic system, opening new possibilities, to our knowledge, for controlling the dynamics and spectral properties of multimode lasers through engineered modulations.","PeriodicalId":19515,"journal":{"name":"Optica","volume":"78 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148401621","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}

However, a major challenge for these systems is atmospheric turbulence, which distorts the spatial structure of light and can severely limit the amount of information that can be reliably transmitted. In this work, we propose and demonstrate a turbulence-resilient scheme for free-space quantum communication. By leveraging the phase conjugation property of stimulated parametric down-conversion, our scheme enables all-optical dynamic correction of spatial-mode distortion induced by atmospheric turbulence, thereby enhancing the secure key rate in high-dimensional quantum key distribution. We develop a theoretical model that provides detailed guidelines for selecting the optimal basis and spatial properties needed to maximize the efficiency of the proposed scheme. Both numerical simulations and experimental results show that, even under strong turbulence, our scheme can reduce the quantum error rates well below the security threshold. These results highlight the potential of nonlinear optical approaches as powerful tools for robust quantum communication in realistic free-space environments.","PeriodicalId":19515,"journal":{"name":"Optica","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148401661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}

However, existing three-dimensional (3D) phase imaging techniques typically require sequential scanning or interferometric setups, limiting temporal resolution and increasing system complexity. To overcome these challenges, we propose snapshot parallel refractive index tomography (SPRIT), a snapshot, 3D refractive index (RI) imaging technique. SPRIT employs a diffractive optical element to capture multifocal intensity images. The volumetric RI distribution is reconstructed by deconvolving the intensity measurement with the 3D transfer functions of the system. By incorporating partially coherent illumination, SPRIT achieves higher spatial resolution than coherent imaging systems, with the degree of enhancement governed by the illumination and detection numerical apertures. We demonstrate volumetric imaging of live Chilomonas at 50 Hz with SPRIT, showcasing its ability to resolve fine subcellular structures in real-time. With its snapshot, high-resolution capabilities, SPRIT offers a powerful tool for label-free 3D imaging in cellular biology and medical diagnostics.","PeriodicalId":19515,"journal":{"name":"Optica","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148401667","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}
