Perfect absorbers have been extensively investigated due to their significant value in solar cell, photodetection, and stealth technologies. Various subwavelength structures have been proposed to improve the absorption performances, such as high absorptance, broad band, and wide absorption angle. However, excellent performances usually put forward higher requirements on structural designs, such as varying the geometry sizes or shapes to fit different center wavelengths, which inevitably increases the fabrication burden. Here, a planar sandwich structure involving a layer of highly lossy material is proposed to achieve a robust perfect absorption with 95% absorptance ranging from the visible to near infrared range. Such an excellent absorption performance is also polarization-independent and applicable to a wide incident angle. Furthermore, the proposed design can also be applied to conformal surfaces with a 90% fluctuation over a steep surface. We believe that the proposed perfect absorber with distinguished performances can find wide application.

We report an anti-reflective cover glass for Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) thin film solar cells. Subwavelength structures (SWSs) were fabricated on top of a cover glass using one-step self-masked etching. The etching method resulted in dense whiskers with high aspect ratio. The produced structure exhibited excellent anti-reflective properties over a broad wavelength range, from the ultraviolet to the near infrared. Compared to a flat-surface glass, the average transmittance of the glass integrated with the SWSs improved from 92.4% to 95.2%. When the cover glass integrated with the SWSs was mounted onto the top of a CIGS device, the short-circuit current and the efficiency of the solar cell were enhanced by 4.38 and 6%, respectively, compared with a CIGS solar cell without cover glass.

Abstract In this work non-scanning far-field nonlinear optical microscopy is employed to study the whispering gallery modes in tapered GaN microwire resonators. We demonstrate the confinement of whispering gallery modes under near-infrared excitation with the photon energy close to half of GaN bandgap. Our results indicate the enhancement of yellow-green luminescence by whispering gallery modes in GaN microwires.

We propose a novel plasmon nano-optical antenna that consists of three vertically superimposed discs with different materials. Two symmetrical nanometer-scale Yagi antenna elements with gold-material are embedded into the surface of the middle disc with silicon dioxide. Based on plasmon theory and Yagi antenna principle, we explore the properties of the far-field radiation and near-field transmission of the antenna in near infrared band. It is found that the pattern of the xoy plane in the antenna can be adjusted in arbitrary direction. The far-field pattern and near-field transmission spectrum can be reconfigured by changing the angle a of the Yagi antenna elements in the middle disc. Moreover, we also discuss the influences of the widths and lengths of the elements on the near-field transmission spectrum when a is fixed at 0 degree.

AbstractWe demonstrate a new practical approach for generating multicolour spiral-shaped beams. It makes use of a standard silica optical fibre, combined with a tilted input laser beam. The resulting breaking of the fibre axial symmetry leads to the propagation of a helical beam. The associated output far-field has a spiral shape, independently of the input laser power value. Whereas, with a high-power near-infrared femtosecond laser, a visible supercontinuum spiral emission is generated. With appropriate control of the input laser coupling conditions, the colours of the spiral spatially self-organize in a rainbow distribution. Our method is independent of the laser source wavelength and polarization. Therefore, standard optical fibres may be used for generating spiral beams in many applications, ranging from communications to optical tweezers and quantum optics.
