Optical microstructure arrays on metallic surfaces are drawing ever-increasing attention due to the increasing requirements in optical systems. Although vibration generators are developed for generating optical microarrays with the ultra-precision diamond cutting process, the systematic research works on its mechanical design, working performance simulation, and numerical simulation of microstructure arrays has received less attention. In this study, a novel two-degree-of-freedom vibration generator (2DOF-VG) is designed based on the triangular amplification mechanism. To precisely simulate the working performance of this designed 2DOF-VG, the detailed multi-physics finite element method is proposed. Considering the three-dimensional geometric shape of the cutting tool, the cutting motion trajectory, and the elastic recovery of the workpiece material, the numerical simulation algorithm of the microstructure arrays generation is then established and used to precisely predict the surface topography of microstructure arrays. Finally, two types of unique microstructure arrays are fabricated, which demonstrates the feasibility and flexibility of the 2DOF-VG.Plasmonic metallic nanostructures with anisotropic design have unusual polarization-selective characteristic which can be utilized to build nanopolarizers at the nanoscale. Herein, we propose a dual-color image display platform by reconfiguring two types of silver nanoblocks in a single-celled metasurface. Governed by Malus's law, the two types of silver nanoblocks both acting as nanopolarizers with different orientations can continuously modulate the intensity of incident linearly polarized red and green light pixel-by-pixel, respectively. As a result, an ultra-compact, high-resolution, and continuous-greyscale dual-color image can be recorded right at the surface of the meta-device. We demonstrate the dual-color Malus metasurface by successfully encoding and decoding a red-green continuously-grayscale image into a metasurface sample. The experimentally captured meta-image with high-fidelity and resolution as high as 63500 dots per inch (dpi) has verified our proposal. With the advantages such as continuous grayscale modulation, ultrathin, high stability and high density, the proposed dual-color encoded metasurfaces can be readily used in ultra-compact image displays, high-end anti-counterfeiting, high-density optical information storage and information encryption, etc.Light concentrators are crucial devices for photon-counting instruments, the optical characteristics of which affect the photoelectric response for the sensors. The designs that only aim to the light transmission have been proved far from optimum for the Geiger-mode calorimeters due to the significant influence from the angle-dependent reflectance, versatile light trajectories, and saturation of fired avalanche photodiodes (APDs). In this paper, we took into account these coupling effects, presented a novel approach to solve the problems in global optimization for light concentrators in combination with silicon photomultiplier (SiPM). In addition, a new probability method is studied and used to restore the photon counting for precise reconstruction of cosmic-ray air showers. The Monte-Carlo experiment verified that the new system design features a high accurate energy scaling for cosmic-ray measurement. The results also indicate that the precision is able to be improved by at least one order in magnitude.Radio-over-fiber (RoF) transmission is a quite reliable technology to support the current and future demands of rapidly progressing broadband wireless network with large capacity and high spectral efficiency. In this paper, we report and demonstrate a digital RoF transmission system using two-dimensional discrete cosine transform with vector quantization (2D-DCT-VQ). By employing the 2D-DCT-VQ technique, the spectral efficiency can be greatly improved, while the system performance is comparable to the traditional approach without compression. The proposed method is experimentally demonstrated in a 20-km 5-Gbaud/λ four-level pulse modulation intensity-modulation/direct-detection optical link. In the orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing -modulated downlink illustrated experimentally, the transmission rate rises by 69.49% on account of the compressed samples by using the proposed method.Quantum key distribution (QKD) provides information theoretically secure key exchange requiring authentication of the classic data processing channel via pre-sharing of symmetric private keys to kick-start the process. In previous studies, the lattice-based post-quantum digital signature algorithm Aigis-Sig, combined with public-key infrastructure (PKI), was used to achieve high-efficiency quantum security authentication of QKD, and we have demonstrated its advantages in simplifying the MAN network structure and new user entry. This experiment further integrates the PQC algorithm into the commercial QKD system, the Jinan field metropolitan QKD network comprised of 14 user nodes and 5 optical switching nodes, and verifies the feasibility, effectiveness and stability of the post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithm and advantages of replacing trusted relays with optical switching brought by PQC authentication large-scale metropolitan area QKD network. QKD with PQC authentication has potential in quantum-secure communications, specifically in metropolitan QKD networks.In this paper, a flexible physical security coding scheme integrating chaotic neural network (CNN) and non-linear encryption is proposed for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing wavelength division multiplexing passive optical network (OFDM-WDM-PON). The scheme improved the flexibility, adjustability and the key space of chaotic encryption system by introducing chaos into neural networks. The system will encrypt the bit series, probability shaping points, and subcarriers position of the OFDM signal through linear encryption and non-linear encryption concurrently. Results show that a key sensitivity of 10-15 and a key space of more than 10279 can be achieved. The encrypted system's Lyapunov is 5.2631, along with 12 parameters can be dynamically changed in the range of 0∼5. Furthermore, when the bit error rate (BER) is less than 3.8×10-3, probabilistic shaping (PS) technology decreases power loss by around 0.5 dB. A 20.454 Gb/s data transmission experiment was successfully verified for a span of 25 Km single-mode fiber. According to the experimental results, the proposed encryption scheme is likely to be used in future OFDM-WDM-PON transmission systems.Optical microrobotics is an emerging field that has the potential to improve upon current optical tweezer studies through avenues such as limiting the exposure of biological molecules of interest to laser radiation and overcoming the current limitations of low forces and unwanted interactions between nearby optical traps. However, optical microrobotics has been historically limited to rigid, single-body end-effectors rather than even simple machines, limiting the tasks that can be performed. Additionally, while multi-body machines such as microlevers exist in the literature, they have not yet been successfully demonstrated as tools for biological studies, such as molecule stretching. In this work we have taken a step towards moving the field forward by developing two types of microlever, produced using two-photon absorption polymerisation, to perform the first lever-assisted stretches of double-stranded DNA. The aim of the work is to provide a proof of concept for using optical micromachines for single molecule studies. Both styles of microlevers were successfully used to stretch single duplexes of DNA, and the results were analysed with the worm-like chain model to show that they were in good agreement.Fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) in cyclic transparent fluoropolymer (CYTOP) optical fiber are the subject of a lot of research as they can be of interest for many applications, such as temperature, humidity, strain, and radiation sensing. We report here a new technique to produce high quality FBGs in CYTOP fiber. It uses a femtosecond laser system operating at 400 nm and a phase mask. In contrast to previously reported results, the gratings are obtained in a few seconds with a writing power as low as 80 μW. GSK 3 inhibitor With this setup, 2 mm-long gratings with reflectivity up to 92 % and full width at half maximum bandwidth around 0.5 nm were obtained in less than 10 s. The resonance wavelengths of the FBGs are confirmed by numerical computation in the graded-index multimode CYTOP fiber, and the mode selection characteristic of FBGs in CYTOP is investigated. Finally, the temperature sensitivity of CYTOP FBG is measured in different mode groups for heating up and cooling down, showing values independent of the mode group measured, but with a small hysteresis.Extracting light from organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and improving the angular distribution are essential for their commercial applications in illumination and displays. In this work, hybrid microlens arrays (MLAs) and gratings with periods and depths in the scale of submicron have been designed and incorporated on the lighting surface of OLEDs for simultaneous enhancement of light outcoupling efficiency and angular distribution improvement. It is found that the augmentation of light extraction efficiency is mainly attributed to the MLAs, while the gratings can improve the viewing angle by increasing the angular distribution uniformity. A novel approach was proposed by combining photoresist thermal reflow, soft-lithography and plasma treatments on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) surfaces synergistically to realize gratings on the wavy surface of MLAs. It has been proved that with the hybrid MLAs/gratings, the external quantum efficiency (EQE) of the OLED can reach up to 22.8%, which increased by 24% compared to that of bare OLED. Moreover, the OLED with the hybrid MLAs/gratings showed an obvious lateral enhancement at wider viewing angle.Van der Waal's heterostructure assembling low dimensional materials are the new paradigm in the field of nanophotonics. In this work, we theoretically investigate Van der Waal's optical metasurfaces consisting of graphene and hBN for the application of biosensing of multiple analytes in the mid-infrared (MIR) region. Phonon polaritons of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) show an advantage over plasmon polaritons, as the phonon polaritons are lossless and possess high momentum and enhanced lifetime. The hybrid phonon mode produced at 6.78 µm in the mid-infrared (MIR) region with near-perfect absorption is used for surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) based detection of organic analytes. Moreover, by adding the graphene layer, the device's overall resonance responses can be tuned, enabling it to identify multiple organic analytes-such as 4,4'-bis(N-carbazolyl)-1,1'-biphenyl (CBP) and nitrobenzene (Nb) [C6H5NO2], just by changing graphene's fermi potential (Ef). Owing to large wave vector of phonon polariton, the device has the capability to detect small amount of number of molecules (390 for CBP and 1990 for nitrobenzene), thus creating a highly sensitive optical biosensor.
