    Algorithmic Spectral Reconstruction Using Angularly Tuned Zero-Contrast Gratings
    Russell, B ; Meng, J ; Wen, D ; Cadusch, J ; Ye, M ; Crozier, K (IEEE, 2020)
    We experimentally demonstrate the algorithmic reconstruction of the infrared transmission spectrum of a polymer using a zero-contrast waveguide-grating metasurface as a filter. By changing the metasurface angle, a variety of filter functions are obtained.

    Geometric Phase Metasurface Hologram for Optical Tractor Beam Generation
    Cadusch, J ; Wen, D ; Meng, J ; Crozier, KB (OSA & IEEE, 2020-01-01)
    We present a geometric phase silicon metasurface hologram design intended to produce a non-diffracting solenoid beam. Such optical beams have been shown to exert long range retrograde (i.e. toward source) optical forces on light-scattering particles.

    Long -Wave In a ed Photodetectors Based on Platinum Diselenide
    Azar, NS ; Shrestha, VR ; Bullock, J ; Amani, M ; Kim, H ; Javey, A ; Crozier, KB (IEEE, 2020)
    We demonstrate long wave infrared photodetectors based on the transition metal dichalcogenide platinum diselenide (PtSe2) in its bulk form for the first time to our knowledge. Fabricated devices show sub-millisecond response times.

    Polarization State Generation and Detection by VCSELs with Integrated Metasurfaces
    Wen, D ; Meng, J ; Cadusch, J ; Crozier, KB (OSA & IEEE, 2020-01-01)
    We experimentally demonstrate vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSEL) with integrated plasmonic and dielectric metasurfaces. The metasurfaces shape the polarization of the laser emission from the VCSELs and also enable them to serve as polarization-dependent photodetectors.

    Smartphone-based Optical Fiber Speckle Spectrometer
    Tan, H ; Cadusch, JJ ; Li, B ; Crozier, KB (IEEE, 2020)
    We demonstrate a spectrometer that uses a smaityhone to image the speckle pattern produced by a multimode optical fiber. A smarjihone-based algorithm uses the measured pattern and a calibration library to determine the input spectnrm.

    Visible to Long-Wave Infrared Photodetectors based on Copper Tetracyanoquinodimethane (CuTCNQ) Crystals
    Balendhran, S ; Hussain, Z ; Shrestha, VR ; Cadusch, J ; Ye, M ; Kim, H ; Ramanathan, R ; Bullock, J ; Javey, A ; Bansal, V ; Crozier, KB (OSA - Optical Society of America, 2020-08-01)
    We demonstrate room-temperature photodetectors at wavelengths from visible (450 nm, 532 nm) to near- (850 nm), short-wave (1550 nm), mid-wave (4.5 \mu m) and long-wave (8.35 \mu m) infrared. These are based on drop-cast Cu TCNQ crystals.

    Material identification with a filter array-detector array infrared microspectrometer: Numerical study
    Meng, J ; Cadusch, JJ ; Crozier, KB (Optica Publishing Group, 2020-09-14)
    We design a plasmonic filter array for a filter array-detector array microspectrometer. We perform numerical experiments, including noise, that predict that this configuration would enable the identification of various materials via their infrared fingerprints.

    All-silicon, optics-free microspectromer chip based on vertical waveguide array pixels
    Cadusch, JJ ; Meng, J ; Wen, D ; Crozier, KB (OSA & IEEE, 2021-01-01)
    We experimentally demonstrate a nanostructured silicon microspectrometer chip that consists of 144 pixels, each comprising an array of vertical waveguides of subwavelength period. We show that both broad- and narrow-band visible spectra can be reconstructed.

    Material identification by plasmonic infrared microspectrometer employing machine learning
    Meng, J ; Weston, L ; Balendhran, S ; Wen, D ; Cadusch, JJ ; Unnithan, RR ; Crozier, KB (Optica Publishing Group, 2021-01-01)
    We demonstrate a microspectrometer comprising plasmonic filters integrated with an infrared camera. Blackbody light illuminates the material being studied, with transmitted light collected by the microspectrometer. The latter uses machine learning to identify the material.

    Optical trapping of nanoparticles with plasmonic apertures generated by algorithm
    Li, N ; Cadusch, J ; Crozier, KB (Optica Publishing Group, 2021-01-01)
    Plasmonic apertures for optical nanotweezers are designed by an algorithm and fabricated with a helium ion microscope. Optical trapping experiments are performed. At every laser intensity, an algorithm-designed structure can outperform a conventional plasmonic aperture.
