Area of Science:

  • Optics and Photonics
  • Metamaterials
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Optical microcavities are crucial for light manipulation and enhancing light-matter interactions.
  • Existing microcavities have limited spatial mode profiles and require external shaping for complex modes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To experimentally demonstrate a metasurface-based holographic microcavity for visible wavelengths.
  • To overcome the limitations of current microcavities in accommodating complex spatial modes.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a micrometer-scale metasurface cavity.
  • Utilizing a forward-design method for mode control.
  • Integration with a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR).

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated a visible-wavelength holographic microcavity with complex spatial mode profiles.
  • Achieved selective light enhancement for a designed mode with a spectral bandwidth of 0.8 nm.
  • Observed rapid changes in holographic mode with cavity length.

Conclusions:

  • The metasurface-based holographic microcavity overcomes limitations of traditional microcavities.
  • Metasurface performance can be significantly enhanced by careful selection of DBR top layer material.
  • The forward-design method is transferable to other spectral regimes and mode profiles.
