    摘要: A circular polarization filter of a chiral metasurface structure is disclosed including a substrate having a nanograting pattern extending from the substrate, a dielectric layer formed directly on the nanograting pattern, and a plasmonic structure in direct contact with the dielectric layer, where the plasmonic structure may be oriented at a nonzero angle with respect to the nanograting pattern. An integrated polarization filter array is also disclosed including include a linear polarization filter, and a circular polarization filter. Methods of detecting full-stokes polarization using an integrated polarization filter array having both linear and circular polarization filters made from chiral metasurface structures is disclosed. Methods of using a Mueller matrix to evaluate polarization response of any optical device or system is also disclosed.

    摘要: An optical device is disclosed. The optical device includes a silicon substrate, an aluminum oxide layer, an aluminum layer between the silicon substrate and the aluminum oxide layer, and a metasurface nanostructure. The metasurface nanostructure may include a graphene monolayer on the aluminum oxide layer and an electrically conductive nanoantenna array in direct contact with the graphene monolayer, where each nanoantenna in the nanoantenna array may include multiple segments, each segment having one or more parameters selected to achieve simultaneous resonance in the mid-infrared and the near infrared spectral regions when the graphene monolayer is irradiated with a near infrared pump pulse and a continuous mid-infrared probe. The optical device generates mid-infrared pulses via ultrafast modulation of hot carriers in the monolayer graphene.
