Despite their asymmetric transport, the excited wave packets exhibit perfect revival after propagating over any integer multiples of the Floquet–Bloch oscillation period. This suggests a fundamentally new mechanism of wave packet revival under the half-period evolution of translational antisymmetry.

Recently, bilayer metasurface strategies have enabled significant enhancements in polarization and nonreciprocal modulations, facilitating applications in holographic display and optical communications. However, a more intuitive Jones matrix analysis is needed, and the current pixel-wise design of bilayer metasurfaces necessitates precise nanofabrication and alignment, leading to increased costs and technical challenges. In this paper, cascade metasurfaces design strategies for vectorial wavefront manipulations with misalignment robustness are investigated. First, an intuitive visualization method for the Jones matrix is established, based on the analysis of polarization eigenstates, polarization dichroism, and phase modulations. On this basis, a pixel-wise design approach of cascaded metasurfaces aimed at sophisticated vectorial spatial light modulation is proposed. This approach achieves assembly tolerances more than one order of magnitude higher than those of the control group, by employing a specialized spatial frequency optimization. Specifically, both the cascaded and individual metasurfaces are predesigned to serve distinct functions. Multichannel vectorial wavefront multiplexing and polarization encryption are all realized. It is believed that the work offers valuable insights into sophisticated polarization modulation techniques and the cost-effective design of multilayer metasurfaces.","PeriodicalId":204,"journal":{"name":"Laser & Photonics Reviews","volume":"123 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143940280","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}

Herein, a universal simulation strategy is proposed based on spatial geometry modeling to enable real‐time computation of dynamic optical responses in BPLCs. This framework systematically interprets and predicts the optical characteristics under both symmetric lattice deformations (governed by chiral dopant concentration) and asymmetric lattice deformations (induced by phase separation or component dispersion). Differentiated nonlinear optical effects are revealed for these deformations in Kossel diffraction analysis. Furthermore, anisotropic modulation of surface/sectional structural colors (photonic bandgaps) and angle‐dependent control over the full spatial light field is demonstrated by tailoring interplanar spacing and facet orientation within the lattice symmetry constraints.

In this study, the spatiotemporal analogue of the wedge structure, i.e. a dielectric medium sandwiched between two subluminal interfaces with distinct velocities, is exploited to focus propagating waves to deep subwavelength scales, thereby achieving the spatiotemporal superfocusing. In this configuration, an incident pulse undergoes cascaded compression due to the Doppler effects, accumulating to extreme focusing and enhancement as it approaches the spatiotemporal vertex. Remarkably, unlike the field localization in conventional superfocusing, the compressed light in spatiotemporal wedges experiences significant amplification and then couple to the far field in free space.

Here, it is demonstrated that dark and asymmetric qBICs arise in the optical domain in Si tilted nanodisk metasurfaces, due to the spectral overlap of in‐plane and out‐of‐plane dipolar resonances in these meta‐atoms, similar to so called Brewster qBICs in the microwave regime for single‐magnetic‐resonance, tilted microdisks, arising at the tilt angle. Using a coupled dipole model, it is shown that optical dark qBICs occur for tilted nanodisks at modified Brewster angles that can differ significantly from the nanodisk tilt angles, , due to the hybridization of in‐plane and out‐of‐plane dipolar resonances. If light is incident at , qBIC excitation is forbidden and the metasurface is transparent; counterintuitively, for , the qBIC is indeed excited but the metasurface remains also fully transparent, so that such qBIC excitation is cloaked. Numerical calculations confirm the asymmetric character of these qBICs, demonstrating that the cloaked qBIC largely enhances near‐fields and emerges in the extinction only when absorptive losses are present in the nanodisks. Finally, a practical metasurface design is proposed, amenable to fabrication, supporting cloaked qBICs. The rich phenomena associated with such cloaked qBICs make them highly suitable for tuning or switching nano‐optical devices (between on/off qBIC states with negligible reflection), offering promising applications for enhanced light–matter interactions at the nanoscale.","PeriodicalId":204,"journal":{"name":"Laser & Photonics Reviews","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143932647","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}

It is shown that introducing judicious angular‐dispersion circumvents the fundamental trade‐off between cavity linewidth and finesse in a Fabry‐Pérot cavity by exciting a 130‐nm‐bandwidth achromatic resonance across the visible spectrum, which far exceeds the finesse‐limited linewidth (0.5 nm), and even exceeds the free spectral range (45 nm).
