Abstract:

Intensity, polarization, and wavelength are fundamental attributes of light. Capturing high-dimensional information of intensity, polarization, and spectrum of the light fields is highly demanded but challenging, and often requires complicated integration of polarization/wavelength sensitive elements across space or time domain. In this talk, I will discuss our recent efforts along this direction (Nature 2024, in press). Specifically, I will show how spatial and frequency dispersive thin-film interfaces facilitate the acquisition of high-dimensional intensity-spectrum-polarization information of light in a single-shot fashion.
