摘要:
光谱成像、片上通信及多功能集成光子学的快速发展,正推动光学系统向小型化与高度集成化方向演进,并对紧凑平台上多波段光束的独立空间调控提出了迫切需求。然而,传统多波段调控方案通常依赖多片器件或复杂光路,结构笨重且易产生跨波段串扰,限制了系统的集成度与可扩展性。针对这一挑战,本文提出了一种基于双波段双梯度相位协同构建的单层全介质超表面设计策略,可在单层结构中实现不同波段波前调控功能的方向解耦。为验证该策略的有效性,我们选取硅(Si)与二氧化硅(SiO2)构建超表面,并以800 nm与
1150 nm两个波段为示例验证策略。所构建的超表面单元在各自工作波段实现完整的0−2π高效相位覆盖,通过梯度相位实现各自波段的定向偏折,并将两类单元以旋转交错90°的方式排列形成复合周期结构,使双波段相位分布在同一平面内共存且互不干扰。结果表明,垂直入射条件下,器件将800 nm波段的透射光束相对于入射法线在一个横向方向偏折约14°,而将1150 nm波段的透射光束则在与其正交的另一横向方向偏折约24°,从而实现空间通道的清晰分离与独立调控。同时,器件保持偏振无关性与稳定波前控制,验证了双波段空间正交调控性能的可靠性。该设计策略为实现高集成度、多波段且具空间正交调控能力的片上光子器件提供了一种紧凑、高效且具有普适性的技术路径,在光谱成像、双波段通信及集成光子学系统中具有广泛的应用潜力。Abstract:With the rapid development of spectral imaging, on-chip communication, and multifunctional integrated photonics, modern optical systems require multi-band beams to be independently controlled in three dimensions within compact platforms. However, conventional multi-band solutions typically rely on multiple optical components or complex folded beam paths, resulting in bulky structures and inter-band crosstalk that limit device integration and scalability.To address this challenge, we propose a dual-band dual-phase-gradient design strategy for independent wavefront control. This approach enables mutually independent phase-gradient units for different wavelengths to coexist on a single-layer metasurface, achieving spatially independent beam deflection. To validate the strategy, a Si/SiO2 all-dielectric metasurface is designed for the 800 nm and
1150 nm bands.The meta-units provide full 0−2π phase coverage at their respective bands. By imposing phase gradients and arranging the two types of units in a 90° rotationally interleaved configuration, a composite periodic structure is formed in which dual-band phase profiles coexist without interference. Simulations show that under normal incidence, the device deflects the 800 nm and1150 nm transmitted beams by approximately 14° and 24° along orthogonal transverse directions, achieving clear spatial separation and independent beam manipulation. The device also exhibits polarization-insensitive and stable wavefront control, confirming the reliability of its dual-band orthogonal operation.This design strategy provides a compact, efficient, and generalizable pathway toward highly integrated multi-band on-chip photonic devices, with broad potential applications in spectral imaging, dual-band communication, and integrated photonic systems. -
