    Abstract: Disclosed is a broadband achromatic metasurface waveplate including a device that includes a plurality of nanostructures physically coupled to a substrate and formed at least partially of a dielectric material having a first refractive index and an anti-reflective film applied to a surface of the device. The anti-reflective film may include a material having a second refractive index that is less than the first refractive index. The device and the anti-reflective film may modify incident light with wavelengths extending over a bandwidth of at least 100 nanometers to impart a substantially uniform phase retardation across the wavelengths and a transmittance of at least 90 percent across the wavelengths.

    Abstract: A method of generating a layout data file for a metasurface device is disclosed. At a radial position of a metasurface device, the method determines a primitive cell of a first level having a metasurface feature pattern that is repeated around an arc corresponding to a circumference at the radial position. The method generates metasurface structures of higher levels. Each metasurface structure of a higher level includes multiple references to a structure or a primitive cell of a next lower level. The method stores at least a portion of a layout of the metasurface device to a layout data file. The layout includes references to metasurface structures of two or more of the higher levels.

    Abstract: A device includes a first mode converter and a second mode converter that define a region between the first mode converter and the second mode converter. The region can contain a plurality of optical modes including at least three modes. The first mode converter and the second mode converter can generate a near-field via a conversion between the plurality of optical modes. The first mode converter can receive an input wave of a first mode and the second mode converter can generate an output wave of a second mode different from the first mode. The first mode converter and the second mode converter can generate a confined near-field via a conversion between the plurality of optical modes.

    Abstract: An optical device includes a membrane. The membrane includes a plurality of apertures extending at least partially through a thickness of the membrane. The membrane is configured to structure incoming light having a wavelength to produce modified light. The wavelength of the incoming light in vacuum is in a range of ultraviolet light and mid-infrared. The membrane is configured to reflect the modified light away from the membrane or transmit the modified light through the membrane. A separation between each of the plurality of apertures is subwavelength relative to the wavelength of the incoming light. A width of each of the plurality of apertures is subwavelength relative to the wavelength of the incoming light. A length of each of the plurality of apertures is wavelength-scale relative to the wavelength of the incoming light.

    Abstract: A wireless communication device includes a quantum cascade laser (QCL) configured to generate a terahertz (THz) or microwave carrier signal. The QCL includes a laser waveguide, a laser optical gain medium incorporated in the laser waveguide, and at least one electrode. An antenna may be integrated with the electrode. The device may be a transmitter, the electrode configured to receive an input baseband signal, the QCL configured to couple the THz or microwave carrier signal and the input baseband signal into a THz or microwave communication signal, and the antenna configured to transmit the THz or microwave communication signal. The device may be a receiver, the antenna configured to receive a THz or microwave communication signal, and the QCL configured to de-couple the THz or microwave communication signal from the THz or microwave carrier signal into an output baseband signal.
