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…

Preventing overfitting in infrared ellipsometry using temperature dependence: fused silica as a case study

Shenwei Yin, Jin-Woo Cho, Demeng Feng +6

Fitting oscillator models to variable-angle spectroscopic ellipsometry (VASE) data can lead to non-unique, unphysical results. We demonstrate using temperature-dependent trends to…

Self-referencing photothermal common-path interferometry to measure absorption of Si3N4 membranes for laser-light sails

Tanuj Kumar, Demeng Feng, Shenwei Yin +12

Laser-light sails are a spacecraft concept wherein lightweight "sails" are propelled by high-intensity lasers. We investigated the near-infrared absorption of free-standing membran…

Electrostatic Steering of Thermal Emission with Active Metasurface Control of Delocalized Modes

Joel Siegel, Shinho Kim, Margaret Fortman +6

We theoretically describe and experimentally demonstrate a graphene-integrated metasurface structure that enables electrically-tunable directional control of thermal emission. This…

Electrically tunable VO2-metal metasurface for mid-infrared switching, limiting, and nonlinear isolation

Jonathan King, Chenghao Wan, Tae Joon Park +4

We demonstrate an electrically controlled metal-VO2 metasurface for the mid-wave infrared that simultaneously functions as a tunable optical switch, an optical limiter with a tunab…

Colossal optical anisotropy from atomic-scale modulations

Hongyan Mei, Guodong Ren, Boyang Zhao +17

In modern optics, materials with large birefringence (Δn, where n is the refractive index) are sought after for polarization control (e.g. in wave plates, polarizing beam splitters…
