Abstract

Metasurfaces hold great potentials for advanced holographic display with extraordinary information capacity and pixel sizes in an ultrathin flat profile. Dual-polarization channel to encode two independent phase profiles or spatially multiplexed meta-holography by interleaved metasurfaces are captivated popular solutions to projecting multiplexed and vectorial images. However, the intrinsic limit of orthogonal polarization-channels, their crosstalk due to coupling between meta-atoms, and interleaving-induced degradation of efficiency and reconstructed image quality set great barriers for sophisticated meta-holography from being widely adopted. Here we report a non-interleaved TiO2 metasurface holography, and three distinct phase profiles are encoded into three orthogonal polarization bases with almost zero crosstalk. The corresponding three independently constructed intensity profiles are therefore assigned to trichromatic (RGB) beams, resulting in high-quality and high-efficiency vectorial meta-holography in the whole visible regime. Our strategy presents an unconventionally advanced holographic scheme by synergizing trichromatic colors and tri-polarization channels, simply realized with a minimalist non-interleaved metasurface. Our work unlocks the metasurface's potentials on massive information storage, polarization optics, polarimetric imaging, holographic data encryption, etc.

Selective sparsity-enhanced synchronization in disordered semiconductor laser networks

Biological networks tend to leverage selective sparsity as an economic strategy to optimize function while minimizing wiring costs. In contrast, achieving synchronization in engineered systems such as semiconductor laser arrays is traditionally expected to require resource-intensive coupling %strong connections to overcome intrinsic frequency disorders. We demonstrate that selectively coupled sparse networks can outperform fully connected architectures, achieving near-complete synchronization with a significantly reduced coupling budget. Using an evolutionary algorithm, we identify a ``pairing opposites" principle: optimal structures specifically prioritize connections between oscillators with the largest opposite frequency detuning. This topology neutralizes dynamical interference induced by redundant links, leading to stable synchronization. We formalize this mechanism through a thermodynamic potential framework, mapping time-delayed phase dynamics to an energy landscape where optimal sparsity prunes additional states to stabilize global phase-locking. Furthermore, we show that the optimal connectivity scales inversely with system size. This principle provides a resource-efficient blueprint for synchronizing and stabilizing diverse complex networks, from photonic arrays to neuromorphic hardware.

Super-resolution microscopy via fluctuation-enhanced spatial mode demultiplexing

We introduce a superresolution technique that combines spatial mode demultiplexing (SPADE) with emitter blinking. We show that temporal fluctuations not only enhance the precision of SPADE imaging, but also drastically simplify the measurement required to recover full object information---in the presence of fluctuations, SPADE can be replaced by the much simpler image inversion interferometry. Both gains are enabled by exploiting temporal cumulants of the detected signal. We further show that the proposed fluctuation-enhanced techniques are significantly more robust to dark-count noise than conventional SPADE.

Phase-controlled transport of Floquet-driven compact chiral photonic states

The Aharonov-Bohm (AB) effect remains a cornerstone of fundamental and applied physics. In this work, we utilize the AB caging effect originated from an effective magnetic field induced by multiorbital interactions, creating an all flat band (FB) lattice system. Normally, FB states are known for being compact in space and having a zero tail; therefore, their mobility in a linear environment is generally understood as impossible. We propose a Floquet driving protocol in an all-FB photonic system to fully control the dynamics of localized photonic states. The modulation of the Hamiltonian along the propagation coordinate allows the translation of compact states in the direction of constructive interference, resulting in an effective stroboscopic quantum walk-like effect. We find that the traveling states exist in chiral pairs. We experimentally implement the Floquet driven protocol using femtosecond laser written photonic waveguides and demonstrate directional control of the propagation, determined by the relative phase of the input condition.
