Engineered meta-surfaces, building blocks of tomorrow’s optical technologies

【Abstract】

Recent advancements in nanofabrications, characterisations, and computer modelling have allowed the generation of arrays of engineered nanoparticles, called meta-surfaces, that extraordinarily control light characteristics. They can reproduce the functions of bulky geometrical optics such as lenses, mirrors or filters. Alongside that, occasionally, metasurfaces can offer some functionalities that are not achievable by geometrical Optics, such as tunability. Such advances have led to revolutionary applications in several fields, including but not limited to meta-lenses, polarisation converters, nano-sensors, and holograms. In this talk, I will briefly review the research activities of the Advanced Optics and Photonics Group at Nottingham Trent University on light-matter manipulation for real-life applications. I will discuss how engineering metallic, dielectric, and semiconductor nanoparticles enable us to control the light intensity, frequency, and propagation direction. I will demonstrate how such controls can help us to generate optical nano-switches with switching time faster than the human eye’s response. Also, I will explain how we can engineer nanoparticles to convert images from the near-infrared region, invisible to human eyes, to the visible region. Finally, I will show our latest results on how nanostructures can help monitor individual proteins over time. These are tiny examples, among many other technologies that are being developed in the community, of why many people consider photonics at the heart of cutting-edge technologies in the 21st century.

最近在纳米制造、表征和计算机建模方面的进展，使得我们可以生成一种称为超表面（meta-surfaces）的工程纳米颗粒阵列，这些超表面能够非凡地控制光的特性。它们能够复制体积庞大几何光学元件的功能，如透镜、镜子或滤光片。除此之外，有时超表面能够提供一些几何光学无法实现的功能，比如可调谐性。这些进展在包括但不限于超透镜、偏振转换器、纳米传感器和全息图等多个领域带来了革命性的应用。在本次演讲中，我将简要回顾诺丁汉特伦特大学高级光学与光子学组在光物质操控方面的研究活动，这些研究活动针对现实生活的应用。我将讨论如何通过设计金属、介质和半导体纳米颗粒来控制光的强度、频率和传播方向。我将展示这种控制如何帮助我们生成比人眼反应时间更快的光学纳米开关。此外，我还将解释我们如何设计纳米颗粒，将近红外区域的图像（肉眼不可见）转换到可见区域。最后，我将展示我们在如何利用纳米结构随时间监测单个蛋白质方面的最新成果。这些只是众多正在开发的技术中的一小部分例子，许多人认为光子学是21世纪尖端技术的核心。

Light-Powered Nanoactuators: Controlling Light Momentum with Metallic Optical Nanoelements

【ABSTRACT】

Optical forces resulting from the momentum transfer of light in light-matter interactions are powerful tools for actuating micromachines and hold great potential for miniaturization and simplification of lab-on-a-chip systems. However, the conventional approaches using optical tweezers, which won the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics, require focusing and steering of an incident laser beam with bulk optics to control the light momentum and optical force, resulting in a bottleneck in the integration and implementation of the optically actuated micromachines. In this presentation, I will describe nanoscale metallic optical elements such as nanolenses and nanomirrors, which control light momentum and optical force at the nanoscale. I will introduce how these optical nanoelements are designed and how they can be applied to nanoactuators and how they remove the limitation of light diffraction and the need for focusing and steering of the light beams. Finally, I will briefly discuss our ongoing study on how actuators based on the optical nanoelements can acquire autonomy.

光与物质相互作用中产生的光的动量转移导致的光学力是驱动微电机的强大工具，对芯片实验室系统的微型化和简化具有巨大潜力。然而，传统的光学镊子方法，该方法赢得了2018年诺贝尔物理学奖，需要使用体积光学聚焦和操纵入射激光束以控制光动量和光学力，这在光学驱动微电机的集成和实施中造成了瓶颈。在本次演讲中，我将描述纳米尺度的金属光学元件，如纳米透镜和纳米镜，它们在纳米尺度上控制光动量和光学力。我将介绍这些光学纳米元件是如何设计的，以及它们如何应用于纳米执行器，以及它们如何消除光衍射的限制和对光束聚焦和操纵的需求。最后，我将简要讨论基于光学纳米元件的执行器如何获得自主性。
