Polarization, the path traced by light's electric field vector, appears in all areas of optics. In
recent decades, various technologies have enabled the precise control of light's polarization …

Nanoantennas are key optical components for light harvesting; photodiodes convert light
into a current of electrons for photodetection. We show that these two distinct, independent …

Nanoscale quantum emitters are key elements in quantum optics and sensing. However,
efficient optical excitation and detection of such emitters involves large solid angles because …

Even though the terahertz spectrum is well suited for chemical identification, material
characterization, biological sensing and medical imaging, practical development of these …

In this article, we review recent developments in the field of surface electromagnetic wave
holography. The holography principle is used as a tool to solve an inverse engineering …

In the past centuries, the scale of engineering optics has evolved toward two opposite
directions: one is represented by giant telescopes with apertures larger than tens of meters …

Engineered metamaterials offer unique functionalities for manipulating the spectral and
spatial properties of electromagnetic waves in unconventional ways. Here, we report a novel …

As a revolutionary three‐dimensional (3D) optical imaging technique, optical holography
has attracted wide attention for its capability of recording both the amplitude and phase …
