用波长控制光束方向,实现无机械运动的二维光束精准转向。

Wavelength-Multiplexed 2D Beam Steering via a Passive Diffractive Network

  • 通过深度学习设计多层衍射结构,将波长映射为二维光束角度。
  • 在400-750nm范围内实现625个波长通道,定位精度达亚波长级。
  • 无需电机或电子相位调控,适用于通信与成像等场景。

我们提出一种波长可寻址的被动衍射光学网络,将照明波长作为高维控制参数,实现任意可编程的二维光束转向。该被动架构由多级空间优化的衍射层构成,通过深度学习联合设计,可快速将不同波长映射至预设或期望的输出角度。与传统单层色散元件仅支持一维线性映射不同,该框架利用复杂的波前变换,将波长作为内在寻址键,实现二维任意光束转向,无需机械扫描或电子相位控制。数值模拟表明,在400–750 nm波段内,实现了625个波长通道的波长可控光束转向,形成25×25独立可寻址的光束位置阵列,具备亚波长定位精度和高通道保真度。不同于传统光栅的线性波长路由,该衍射网络执行非局域波前变换,可在二维视场内实现任意波长-角度映射。我们在太赫兹与可见光频段均进行了实验验证,分别采用3D打印的被动衍射层(太赫兹)和纯相位空间光调制器(可见光),成功演示了波长复用光束转向。该波长可寻址衍射架构为高速可编程光束转向提供了紧凑且可扩展的新范式,有望应用于光通信、路由、成像、传感及新兴光子信息处理系统。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

We introduce a wavelength-addressable diffractive optical network that transforms illumination wavelength into a high-dimensional control parameter for arbitrarily programmable 2D beam steering. The proposed passive architecture comprises cascaded spatially optimized diffractive layers, jointly designed using deep learning, to rapidly map distinct wavelengths to predefined/desired output angles. Unlike conventional single-layer dispersive optical elements, which are physically restricted to 1D linear mapping, this framework harnesses complex wavefront transformations to utilize the illumination wavelength as an intrinsic addressing key for arbitrary 2D beam steering, eliminating the need for mechanical scanning or electronic phase control. We numerically demonstrate wavelength-controlled beam steering across 625 wavelength channels spanning 400-750 nm, realizing a 25 x 25 array of independently addressable beam positions with subwavelength positioning accuracy and high channel fidelity. Unlike conventional gratings, which constrain wavelength routing to a linear trajectory, the proposed diffractive network performs nonlocal wavefront transformations, enabling arbitrary wavelength-to-angle mappings across a 2D field of view. We further validate the proposed framework experimentally in both the terahertz and visible spectral regimes, demonstrating wavelength-multiplexed beam steering using 3D fabricated passive diffractive layers at terahertz frequencies and phase-only spatial light modulators in the visible spectrum. This wavelength-addressable diffractive architecture establishes a compact and scalable paradigm for high-speed programmable beam steering, with potential applications in optical communications, routing, imaging, sensing, and emerging photonic information-processing systems.
