All-fiber ultralow-energy soliton management at 1.55 µm

In this paper, we investigate the inhomogeneous higher-order nonlinear Schr¨odinger (NLS) equation governing the femtosecond optical pulse propagation in inhomogeneous fibers using gauge transformation and generate bright soliton solutions from the associated linear eigenvalue problem. We observe that the amplitude of the bright solitons depends on the group velocity dispersion (GVD) and the self-phase modulation (SPM) while its velocity is dictated by the third-order dispersion (TOD) and GVD. We have shown how the interplay between GVD, SPM, and TOD can be profitably exploited to change soliton width, amplitude (intensity), shape, phase, velocity, and energy for an effective femtosecond soliton management. The highlight of our paper is the identification of ‘optical similaritons’ arising by virtue of higher-order effects in the femtosecond regime.

Plasmonic metasurfaces are a promising route for flat panel display applications due to their full color gamut and high spatial resolution. However, this plasmonic coloration cannot be readily tuned and requires expensive lithographic techniques. Here, we present scalable electrically driven color-changing metasurfaces constructed using a bottom-up solution process that controls the crucial plasmonic gaps and fills them with an active medium. Electrochromic nanoparticles are coated onto a metallic mirror, providing the smallest-area active plasmonic pixels to date. These nanopixels show strong scattering colors and are electrically tunable across >100-nm wavelength ranges. Their bistable behavior (with persistence times exceeding hundreds of seconds) and ultralow energy consumption (9 fJ per pixel) offer vivid, uniform, nonfading color that can be tuned at high refresh rates (>50 Hz) and optical contrast (>50%). These dynamics scale from the single nanoparticle level to multicentimeter scale films in subwavelength thickness devices, which are a hundredfold thinner than current displays.
