Antireflection by design in bilayer metasurfaces

Jaewon Oh, Davide Cassara, Alfonso Palmieri +5

Antireflection coatings are ubiquitous in optical systems, where they maximize transmission and suppress undesirable reflections by impedance-matching uniform interfaces. Extending…

Self-healing of the Montgomery pattern

Athena Xu, Oscar de Vries, Alfonso Palmieri +3

Self-healing -- the ability of a structured beam to reconstruct its transverse profile after partial obstruction -- has been demonstrated for diffraction-free beams, where the reco…

Multi-Plane Spatially Resolved Phase Structuring Using Optical Communication Modes

Vinicius S. de Angelis, Maximilian Jeindl, Leonardo A. Ambrosio +3

We present a deterministic framework for three-dimensional beam shaping that enables versatile control of intensity and phase, pixel-by-pixel, across multiple axial planes. Convent…

Silica meta-optics: When high-performance does not need a high-index

Luca Sacchi, Alfonso Palmieri, Vitthal Mishra +3

Metasurfaces -- planar arrays of subwavelength nanostructures -- are typically realized with high-index dielectrics, while low-index platforms are often dismissed for their weaker…

Observation of spatially structured Montgomery effect in free space

Murat Yessenov, Luca Sacchi, Alfonso Palmieri +3

We report the first direct observation of the spatially structured Montgomery effect, a lensless self-imaging phenomenon that generalizes the Talbot effect to aperiodic structures,…

Topology-Optimized Dielectric Cavities for Enhanced Excitonic Light Emission from

Owen Matthiessen, Brandon Triplett, Omer Yesilyurt +14

Photonic inverse design and, especially, topology optimization, enable dielectric cavities with deeply sub-diffraction mode volumes and high quality factors, thus offering a powerf…

Free-standing bilayer metasurfaces in the visible

Ahmed H. Dorrah, Joon-Suh Park, Alfonso Palmieri +1

Mult-layered meta-optics have enabled complex wavefront shaping beyond their single layer counterpart owing to the additional design variables afforded by each plane. For instance,…

Rotatum of Light

Ahmed H. Dorrah, Alfonso Palmieri, Lisa Li +1

Vortices are ubiquitous in nature and can be observed in fluids, condensed matter, and even in the formation of galaxies. Light, too, can evolve like a vortex. Optical vortices are…

Do bilayer metasurfaces behave as a stack of decoupled single-layer metasurfaces?

Alfonso Palmieri, Ahmed H. Dorrah, Jun Yang +3

Flat optics or metasurfaces have opened new frontiers in wavefront shaping and its applications. Polarization optics is one prominent area which has greatly benefited from the shap…
