Abstract:
The powerful light field manipulation capability of metasurfaces offers a novel development perspective for the quantum precision measurement. By applying the phase-gradient metasurface (PGM) to atomic magnetometers (AMs), we have proposed and experimentally demonstrated a new type of compact single-beam elliptically polarized atomic magnetometers (EPAMs). Employing the fabricated chiral beam splitter PGM with high cross-polarization transmittance, a new atomic spin chirality detection method was devised, enabling the ultra-high sensitivity for extremely weak magnetic field measurement and achieving a high sensitivity of 2.67 pT/Hz1/2 under an external magnetic field of approximately 10,000 nT. The new AMs combine the pumping and probing polarized light, achieving a compact design. The fabricated PGM has a size of only 3 mm × 3 mm × 0.7 mm, which is beneficial for the miniaturization and integration of AMs. This work effectively expands the application of metasurfaces in the field of quantum precision measurement, and also provides a new viewpoint for the design and development of high-sensitivity and miniaturized AMs.

Abstract:
Highly efficient controlling the individual atomic migration is the basis of the modern atomic manufacturing. Although one-by-one atom migration can be realized precisely by STM technique, such a delicate operation is time consuming and restrictive conditions (e.g., high-vacuum) needed to be satisfied. Here, we reported that individual metal atoms can be efficiently transferred from the nanoparticle surface to the underneath substrate via instantaneous laser irradiation under ambient conditions. By inserting self-assembled monolayer (SAM) molecules into nanoparticle-on-mirror (NPoM) structures, a pronounced resonance shift that depends on the dipole moments of the SAM molecules, was observed upon laser irradiation. Assisted by the in-situ measurement of Raman spectra, synchronously capturing dark-field (DF) scattering spectra and DF imaging, it is clarified that the laser-induced localized surface plasmons, which generates strong dipole–dipole interactions, play a critical role in triggering atomic migration. Our study opens an avenue for the highly efficient fabrication of atomic patterns.

Abstract:
Multi-pass cell (MPC) with long optical path length (OPL) and high ratio of optical path length to volume (RLV) can significantly enhance the detection performance of light-induced thermoelastic spectroscopy (LITES) sensor and facilitate system integration. In this paper, an ultra-highly sensitive LITES sensor based on a MPC with ultra-dense spot pattern designed by multi-objective algorithm of parallel nondominated sorting genetic algorithm II (PNSGA-II) was reported for the first time. Five MPCs featuring different dense spot patterns were generated using this PNSGA-II algorithm. The experimental measured OPLs with an excellent RLV of > 20 cm−2 closely matched the theoretical results, validating the PNSGA-II algorithm and our MPC calculation model as reliable guidance for designing MPCs with superior performance. An acetylene (C2H2)-LITES sensor system was constructed using the designed MPC with an actual OPL of 80.14 m. A self-designed round-head quartz tuning fork (QTF) with resonant frequency of 9.5 kHz was used as the detector. The C2H2-LITES sensor demonstrated good linear response to C2H2 concentration. The achieved minimum detection limit (MDL) for the C2H2-LITES sensor was 4.78 ppb, which has a 3.45-fold enhancement when compared to the standard commercial QTF with resonant frequency of 32.768 kHz. Furthermore, according to Allan deviation analysis, the MDL could improve to 891 ppt at an average time of 200 s, demonstrating its ultra-highly sensitive detection performance.

Abstract:
Large-capacity data transmission is increasingly required to meet the growing demands of big data and artificial intelligence applications. Wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) technology is a reliable method of increasing link capacity by enabling multiple wavelength signals to be transmitted in a single channel. Here, for the first time, a large-capacity transmitter on thin-film lithium tantalate-on-insulator (LTOI) is demonstrated by monolithically integrating an 8-channel WDM and Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI) electro-optic modulators (EOMs). The integrated 8-channel WDM, comprised of 8 cascaded waveguide Bragg grating optical filters, realizes channel spacing of 16.8 nm, 1-dB bandwidth of 15.4 nm, and thermal sensitivity of 10 pm/ºC. The MZI EOMs show low direct current drift and 3-dB bandwidth beyond 67 GHz. Finally, the WDM transmitter achieves a data rate of 100 Gbps OOK and 200 Gbps PAM4 for a single channel, indicating the demonstrated total capacity of 1.6 Tbps. Therefore, the demonstrated large-capacity WDM transmitter will find many applications, such as artificial intelligence and data centers.
