X-ray Fractional Orbital Angular Momentum from Coherent Magnetic Scattering

P. D. Montgomery, J. S. Woods, M. R. McCarter +10

Artificial spin ice (ASI) based on a square lattice with a topological defect are known to generate orbital angular momentum (OAM) in diffracted X-ray beams. A previous investigati…

Silicon-on-sapphire metasurfaces generate arrays of dark and bright traps for neutral atoms

Chengyu Fang, Minjeong Kim, Hongyan Mei +10

We demonstrated crystalline silicon-on-sapphire (c-SOS) metasurfaces that convert a Gaussian beam into arrays of complex optical traps, including arrays of optical bottle beams tha…

All-passive upconversion of incoherent near-infrared light at intensities down to 10 W/cm

Rabeeya Hamid, Demeng Feng, Pournima Narayanan +10

Frequency upconversion, which converts low-energy photons into higher-energy ones, typically requires intense coherent illumination to drive nonlinear processes or the use of exter…

Broadband light extraction from near-surface NV centers using crystalline-silicon antennas

Minjeong Kim, Maryam Zahedian, Wenxin Wu +9

We use crystalline silicon (Si) antennas to efficiently extract broadband single-photon fluorescence from shallow nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond into free space. Our desi…

Enhanced biochemical sensing with high-Q transmission resonances in free-standing membrane metasurfaces

Samir Rosas, Wihan Adi, Aidana Beisenova +7

Optical metasurfaces provide novel solutions to label-free biochemical sensing by localizing light resonantly beyond the diffraction limit, thereby selectively enhancing light-matt…

Trapping light in air with membrane metasurfaces for vibrational strong coupling

Wihan Adi, Samir Rosas, Aidana Beisenova +4

Optical metasurfaces can manipulate electromagnetic waves in unprecedented ways at ultra-thin engineered interfaces. Specifically, in the mid-infrared (mid-IR) region, metasurfaces…
