Area of Science:

  • Optics and Photonics
  • Light-Matter Interactions

Background:

  • Photonic hooks (PHs) exhibit unique crooked trajectories and narrow spectral widths, attracting significant research interest.
  • Current methods for generating and controlling PHs rely on breaking system symmetry with incident light and regular structures, limiting their versatility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate the generation and control of photonic hooks (PHs) using irregular particles.
  • To introduce a novel method for modulating PH characteristics through a structure-constrained function (SCF).

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a structure-constrained function (SCF) to generate PHs from irregular particles.
  • Modulating SCF coefficients to control PH parameters like bending angle, effective length, and bending direction.
  • Employing finite element method simulations and ray optics analysis to understand PH formation mechanisms.

Main Results:

  • Successfully generated PHs from irregular particles, overcoming limitations of previous methods.
  • Achieved effective modulation of PH characteristics, including bending angles up to 46° and effective lengths up to 11.90λ.
  • Demonstrated the capability to create complex PHs, such as those with multiple bends, using the SCF approach.

Conclusions:

  • The introduction of a structure-constrained function (SCF) provides a versatile new pathway for generating and controlling photonic hooks (PHs).
  • This functional approach enables precise tuning of PH properties and opens avenues for novel applications in light manipulation and optical systems.
