Ya-Hsin Hsiao Exploring Asymmetric Reflection at Exceptional Points in Plasmonic Non-Hermitian Metasurfaces
Ya-Hsin Hsiao, Po-Sheng Huang, Pin Chieh Wu, National Cheng Kung University (Taiwan)

Non-Hermitian metasurfaces can exhibit unique and unconventional optical behaviors due to the interaction between gain and loss, including effects like unidirectional reflection, nonreciprocal transmission, and enhanced sensitivity. Here, we designed a plasmonic non-Hermitian metasurface operating at an exceptional point (EP) for asymmetric reflection, and introduced Pancharatnam-Berry (PB) phase to achieve abnormal reflection of two degenerate circular polarized (CP) light under linear polarized (LP) light incidence.

Han-Ya Hsu Co-optimization of Phase and Amplitude for Beam Deflection Metasurfaces
Han-Ya Hsu, Po-Sheng Huang, Pin Chieh Wu, National Cheng Kung University (Taiwan)

Most metasurfaces suffer from low reflection efficiency in practical applications because they typically focus only on the phase profile during component design. To enhance their real-world applicability, we have developed a method that incorporates amplitude modulation into the design of beam deflection metasurfaces. With our approach, we have achieved a significant improvement in deflection efficiency, increasing it by approximately 60% for a 5° deflection angle and around 39% for a 25° deflection angle.

Chung-Wei Lin Diffraction Efficiency Enhancement of Volume Holographic Near-Eye-Display
Chung-Wei Lin, Chih-Yao Chang, Yeh-Wei Yu, Ching-Cherng Sun, Tsung-Hsun Yang, National Central University (Taiwan)

The research is to improve the efficiency of light transmission through a light guide with two volume holographic optical elements (VHOE). When light transmit in light guide, the angle tolerance causes filtering effects on mismatch wavelengths. To solve this problem, we simulate the wavelength distribution by using VOHIL after passing through the hologram. By recording the dispersive elements, the required wavelength distribution is created in order to direct different wavelengths to different angles. In addition, through the combination of phase superposition and dispersion elements, which utilizes the energy of the light source more efficiently and enhance the optical system efficiency.

Sheng-Jie Lu Method for extracting structural information from heliconical structures using the Berreman 4 × 4 matrix
Sheng-Jie Lu, Tseng-Yu Shiang Shiang, Chi-Tang Huang, Ko-Ting Cheng, National Central University (Taiwan)

In this study, an electrically tunable color filter has been demonstrated based on the modulation of heliconical structures of chiral nematics. In contrast to conventional chiral nematics with a bend elastic constant ( K33) larger than a twist one (K22), the chiral nematics with K33 smaller than K22 can maintain their helical textures while raising applied voltages. Apart from the demonstration of the tunability of heliconical structures, the structural information for the heliconical applied with different voltages has been extracted by the simulated spectra successfully.

Po-Kai Chang Engineering Leaky Bloch Modes and Mie Resonance in Dielectric Gratings for Optical Combiner
Po-Kai Chang, Jing-Ya Lin, Peichen Yu, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (Taiwan)

In our study, we design and fabricate an optical combiner based on a SiNx dielectric grating to serve as a reflective filter with an incident angle of 58 degrees. By optimizing the structural parameters with Rigorous Coupled Wave Analysis (RCWA), the spectral positions of Leaky Bloch mode and Mie resonance of the one-dimensional grating can be tuned to produce a high reflectivity of 78% at a wavelength of 500nm for the transverse-magnetic (TM) polarization. Additionally, a two-dimensional grating filter with a reflectivity of 73% at 532nm wavelength is designed, which is insensitive to the polarization of the incident light.

Chih-An Liu, Jui-Yu Lin, Shu-Guang Girls' Senior High School (Taiwan); Yi-Siang Wang, Hong-Wei Yang, National Tsing Hua University (Taiwan); Ming-Li Chou, Shu-Guang Girls' Senior High School (Taiwan); Po-Ting Yeh, National Taiwan University Hospital (Taiwan); Jwo-Huei Jou, National Tsing Hua University (Taiwan)

Long-term exposure to blue-enriched computer screen backlight may lead to eye strain and discomfort, affecting concentration. To investigate, we attempted herein using typing speed to reflect the concentration under the influence of blue light. The results showed the typing speed to decrease from 25 words per minute to 23 after reading a novel with a traditional black text on white background for 30 minutes. Upon switching to a white text on dark background, the typing speed surprisingly increased from 24 words to 26, indicating blue light to have a profound effect on concentration.

Yi-Chi Chen Plasmonic Topological Insulators with Complementary Dual-Layered Honeycomb Metal Structures Analyzed by FDTD Method
Yi-Chi Chen, Shih-hui Chang, Hung Yu Chang, National Cheng Kung University (Taiwan)

EM duality can be found with complementary patch and aperture structure in plasmonic Hexagonal lattice where both have the same dispersion relation but different TE/TM characteristics. Stacking the patch and aperture creates a 3D metal complementary structure and opens a bandgap at the K and K' points and forms Pseudospin states with valley degree of freedom. By combining the dual-layered structure and its flipped structure side by side, a boundary is formed. Exciting with pseudo-spin at the boundary allows for the observation of electromagnetic waves being confined to the edge with unidirectional propagation.

Yuan-Kai Zhou Designs of meta-lenses for optical fiber coupling
Yuan-Kai Zhou, Jin-Li Wong, Guo-Dung Su, National Taiwan University (NTU) (Taiwan)

In the last two decades, fiber-optic communication and photonic integrated circuits have been popularized rapidly. However, the dimension difference between optical fiber devices and photonic chips makes the design of fiber-to-chip couplers challenging. To solve this problem, several coupling strategies have been proposed, such as inverted taper-based structures, grating couplers and meta-material based couplers. In this paper, we attempted to design a high-efficiency metamaterial-based couplers for a quantum fiber-optic communication system. We theoretically show that the power efficiency of our design reach 85% with the MFD less than 3um.
