Ultrafast all-optical switches based on epsilon-near-zero (ENZ)-enhanced nonlinear refraction in transparent conducting oxides have achieved exciting results realizing large absolute modulations. However, broad-band, polarization-independent, and wide-angle ultrafast been challenging to produce, due the inherent narrow band, polarization-dependent, angle-dependent characteristics of ENZ effect. To this end, we propose an switch enhanced absorption corrugated indium tin oxide (ITO) thin...

Abstract In the current solution for multiwavelength achromatic flat lenses, a one-to-one correspondence exists between number of writing phase distributions and wavelengths. Breaking this requires complex design parameter optimization. Here, we show that dual-layer cascade liquid crystal Pancharatnam-Berry lens (CLCPBL) with two specific coupled distribution layers can achieve three wavelength achromaticity without any optimization process. Similarly, in three-layer cascade, wavelengths...

Adaptive optics systems often work in a closed-loop configuration due to the hysteretic and nonlinearity properties of conventional deformable mirrors. Because high-precision wavefront generation nonhysteretic liquid-crystal devices, open-loop control becomes possible. Open-loop is requirement for advanced adaptive concepts.
