摘要

Abstract

Nonlinear metasurfaces have experienced rapid growth recently due to their potential in various applications

including infrared imaging and spectroscopy. However

due to the low conversion efficiencies of metasurfaces

several strategies have been adopted to enhance their performances

including employing resonances at signal or nonlinear emission wavelengths. This strategy results in a narrow operational band of the nonlinear metasurfaces

which has bottlenecked many applications

including nonlinear holography

image encoding

and nonlinear metalenses. Here

we overcome this issue by introducing a new nonlinear imaging platform utilizing a pump beam to enhance signal conversion through four-wave mixing (FWM)

whereby the metasurface is resonant at the pump wavelength rather than the signal or nonlinear emissions. As a result

we demonstrate broadband nonlinear imaging for arbitrary objects using metasurfaces. A silicon disk-on-slab metasurface is introduced with an excitable guided-mode resonance at the pump wavelength. This enabled direct conversion of a broad IR image ranging from > 1000 to 4000 nm into visible. Importantly

adopting FWM substantially reduces the dependence on high-power signal inputs or resonant features at the signal beam of nonlinear imaging by utilizing the quadratic relationship between the pump beam intensity and the signal conversion efficiency. Our results

therefore

unlock the potential for broadband infrared imaging capabilities with metasurfaces

making a promising advancement for next-generation all-optical infrared imaging techniques with chip-scale photonic devices.
