The project aims to develop a conceptually new all-on-chip twisted light modulator via photonic integration of a customised twisted-light metasurface with on-chip optical waveguides. The goal is to replace current bulky, slow, and costly spatial light modulators by a compact nanophotonic chip for the generation and detection of multiple twisted-light modes. Project outcomes include new knowledge in photonic integration and 3D meta-optics, and novel nanophotonic devices for twisted light, which will expand applications of twisted light for all-on-chip fibre-optic communications and holographic displays. The ultra-compact, high-capacity, efficient twisted-light modulators are expected to have a practical impact on many photonic applications.

该项目旨在通过定制的扭曲光超表面与片上光波导的光子集成，开发一种概念性的新型全片上扭曲光调制器。目标是用一种紧凑的纳米光子芯片取代目前笨重、缓慢和昂贵的空间光调制器，用于产生和检测多种扭曲光模式。项目成果包括光子集成和三维元光学方面的新知识，以及用于扭曲光的新型纳米光子器件，这将扩大扭曲光在全片光纤通信和全息显示方面的应用。超紧凑、高容量、高效的扭曲光调制器有望在许多光子应用中产生实际影响。
