摘要

Abstract

The manipulation and characterization of light polarization states are essential for many applications in quantum communication and computing

spectroscopy

bioinspired navigation

and imaging. Chiral metamaterials and metasurfaces facilitate ultracompact devices for circularly polarized light generation

manipulation

and detection. Herein

we report bioinspired chiral metasurfaces with both strong chiral optical effects and low insertion loss. We experimentally demonstrated submicron-thick circularly polarized light filters with peak extinction ratios up to 35 and maximum transmission efficiencies close to 80% at near-infrared wavelengths (the best operational wavelengths can be engineered in the range of 1.3–1.6 μm). We also monolithically integrated the microscale circular polarization filters with linear polarization filters to perform full-Stokes polarimetric measurements of light with arbitrary polarization states. With the advantages of easy on-chip integration

ultracompact footprints

scalability

and broad wavelength coverage

our designs hold great promise for facilitating chip-integrated polarimeters and polarimetric imaging systems for quantum-based optical computing and information processing

circular dichroism spectroscopy

biomedical diagnosis

and remote sensing applications.
