We present the frequency control of a 759 nm laser as a lattice laser for an ytterbium (Yb) optical clock. The frequency stability and accuracy are transferred from the Yb optical clock via an optical frequency comb. Although the

The resolution of the spatial light modulator (SLM) screen and the encoding algorithm of the computer-generated hologram are the primary limiting factors in the generation of large topological charge vortex beams. This paper attem

In the integral imaging light field display, the introduction of a diffractive optical element (DOE) can solve the problem of limited depth of field of the traditional lens. However, the strong aberration of the DOE significantly

We present and demonstrate a multifunctional single-fiber optical tweezer for particle trapping and transport. The fiber probe of fiber optical tweezers is constructed as a planar structure. Laser sources with wavelengths of 650 n

A 2-mm-long silicon-on-insulator grating emitter with a narrow angular full width at half-maximum (FWHM) and a high sideband suppression ratio (SSR) is proposed and designed. It consists of a Si3N4/Si grating with an approximate G

A continuous-wave (CW) π-polarized 1084 nm laser based on Nd:MgO:LiNbO3 under 888 nm thermally boosted pumping is reported. According to the absorption spectrum and energy level structure of Nd:MgO:LiNbO3, the 888 nm laser diode (

The optical vortex beam has widely been studied and used because of its unique orbital angular momentum (OAM). To generate and control OAM in compact and integrated systems, many metallic metasurface devices have been proposed, ho

Depressed cladding waveguides are fabricated in Pr:LiYF4 (YLF) crystal by femtosecond laser inscription following a helical scheme. With the optimized parameters, the propagation loss of the waveguide is around 0.12 dB/cm for mult

Four single crystals (Yb0.15Lu0.85xY0.85-0.85x)3Al5O12 (x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 1) were grown by the Czochralski method. The correlation of the host atom Lu:Y ratios with the density and the luminescence properties were revealed. The de

We propose a method for detecting the symmetry of rotating patterns based on the rotational Doppler effect (RDE) of light. The basic mechanisms of the RDE are introduced, and the spiral harmonic distribution of rotating patterns i

The quantum key distribution (QKD) network is a promising solution for secure communications. In this paper, we proposed a polarization-independent phase-modulated polarization encoding module, and it can be combined with a dense

The ultracold molecule is a promising candidate for versatile quantum tasks due to its long-range interaction and rich internal rovibrational states. With the help of the cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) effects, an optical ca
