Waveguide integrated metasurfaces for on-chip vortex beam generation
Waveguide integrated metasurfaces for on-chip vortex beam generation
Optical orbital angular momentum (OAM) is a property of light that describes the rotation of its electromagnetic field as it travels through space. Light with OAM, also known as a vortex beam, exhibits a helical phase front and often a doughnut-shaped intensity distribution. Based on these properties, OAM has garnered much attention in areas such as optical sensing, optical communication, optical tweezers, quantum information processing, and imaging. On the other hand, metasurfaces, which are ultrathin layers of judiciously designed nanostructures, possess impressive light manipulation capabilities. This thesis of mine presents two methods of using metasurfaces to generate optical vortex beams, one based on phase gradient manipulation and the other based on amplitude gradient manipulation.

Abstract
Optical orbital angular momentum (OAM) is a property of light that describes the rotation of its electromagnetic field as it travels through space. Light with OAM, also known as a vortex beam, exhibits a helical phase front and often a doughnut-shaped intensity distribution. Based on these properties, OAM has garnered much attention in areas such as optical sensing, optical communication, optical tweezers, quantum information processing, and imaging. On the other hand, metasurfaces, which are ultrathin layers of judiciously designed nanostructures, possess impressive light manipulation capabilities. This thesis of mine presents two methods of using metasurfaces to generate optical vortex beams, one based on phase gradient manipulation and the other based on amplitude gradient manipulation.
