Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of information processing and information extraction technology. Specifically, it is a device and method for extracting multi-degree-of-freedom information of light field based on light scattering. It is used to solve the problem that traditional optical demultiplexing methods and technologies cannot effectively extract multi-degree-of-freedom information of light field at the same time. It provides a new technical solution for optical information demultiplexing and will promote the development of multiplexing technology in the fields of optical communication, optical storage, holographic display and imaging. Background Technology

[0002] As a crucial carrier of information, light plays a vital role in the information technology era. The degrees of freedom of light, such as wavelength, polarization, amplitude, and phase, can all be used for information encoding and transmission, finding wide application in communication, information storage, information encryption, holographic display, and imaging. Increasing the information capacity of light has always been a research hotspot in the information field. Optical multiplexing technologies, such as wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), partial division multiplexing (PDM), space division multiplexing (SDM), mode division multiplexing (MDM), and time division multiplexing (TDM), are currently key technologies for improving optical information capacity. In addition to the aforementioned degrees of freedom, light also possesses angular momentum, including spin angular momentum (SAM) and orbital angular momentum (OAM), which are related to the polarization state and spatial phase distribution of light, respectively. The orbital angular momentum of light theoretically provides an infinitely large dimension, which provides the conditions for high-dimensional optical information encoding and transmission based on OAM. Theoretically, different OAM modes are orthogonal, and this orthogonality ensures low crosstalk and high-capacity information transmission. Therefore, OAM multiplexing technology is considered a very promising multiplexing technology in classical and quantum optics. With the rapid development of information technology and the arrival of the 5G era, humanity has entered the era of big data, and the demand for high-capacity information storage and transmission is becoming increasingly urgent. To further improve optical information capacity, the simultaneous multiplexing of multiple degrees of freedom of light has become an important technical approach. Currently, a scheme employing simultaneous multiplexing of wavelength, polarization, and OAM has achieved data transmission speeds of Pbit / s. It is evident that the technology of simultaneously multiplexing multiple degrees of freedom of light can significantly improve optical channel capacity.

[0003] Optical multiplexing (OAM) technology has become a key technology for high-capacity information transmission and processing. However, effectively extracting the multiplexed information carried by light has become an important research direction. Traditional methods involve detecting and extracting information from all degrees of freedom independently. Wavelength and polarization information can be directly extracted using wave demultiplexers and polarization beam splitters. However, the OAM mode information is encoded in the phase of the optical field, and observers cannot extract the information carried by the OAM mode from the intensity distribution, limiting the practical application of optical OAM in the field of optical information. Currently, methods for detecting OAM modes are mainly based on light interference and diffraction. Therefore, traditional methods require a large number of wave demultiplexers, polarization beam splitters, and OAM detection elements for extracting multi-degree-of-freedom information from the optical field, resulting in extremely complex, costly, and time-consuming experimental setups. In recent years, with the development of metasurface materials and on-chip plasmonic nanostructures, portable integrated OAM demultiplexing devices have become a research hotspot. However, limited by the matching conditions of wave vector loss, on-chip plasmonic nanogratings can only respond to specific wavelengths and cannot detect multi-wavelength multiplexed OAM mode information. To overcome the limitation of traditional demultiplexing methods in terms of functionality, metasurface devices provide a new platform for demultiplexing multi-degree-of-freedom information in optical fields. Ultra-portable, multifunctional nanophotonic demultiplexing devices based on all-dielectric metasurface metallic materials can simultaneously detect wavelength, polarization, and OAM information of light by spatially separating vortex beams with different wavelengths, polarization states, and topological charges. However, this method converts the different degrees of freedom information of the optical field into spatial positional distributions, limiting the number of OAM modes that can be demultiplexed.

[0004] In summary, effectively extracting multiple degrees of freedom information carried by an optical field is a key issue in optical information multiplexing technology. Traditional optical components can only extract optical information from a single degree of freedom, and demultiplexing optical information from multiple degrees of freedom involves complex optical devices. Metasurface photonic devices, by integrating the functions of multiple optical components, provide a powerful platform for simultaneously extracting multiple degrees of freedom information from an optical field. However, metasurface-based optical components require special design and fabrication, resulting in high costs and a lack of versatility and reconfigurability.

[0005] Therefore, efficiently extracting information from multiple degrees of freedom of an optical field has become a research hotspot in the field of optical information processing and is of great significance to optical multiplexing technology, but it still faces significant challenges.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. Traditional optical elements can only extract optical information in a single degree of freedom. Demultiplexing optical information in multiple degrees of freedom based on traditional optical elements involves complex optical devices. This invention designs a scattering optical element. By deeply exploring the optical scattering characteristics, it utilizes the property of multiple scattering of light to completely disturb and couple the multi-degree-of-freedom information of light. It proposes a vector speckle correlation scattering matrix method based on multi-wavelength multiplexed speckle intensity information. Based on this method, it is possible to simultaneously extract multi-degree-of-freedom information of the light field, including wavelength, amplitude, phase, polarization, and orbital angular momentum. This significantly develops and improves the ability of scattering optical elements to extract multi-degree-of-freedom information of light fields.

[0010] 2. Compared with traditional optical components that rely on stable and interference-free optical systems, the scattering optical components designed in this invention are also suitable for extracting multi-degree-of-freedom information of light fields in complex environments. They have higher tolerance to environmental noise and significantly improve the anti-interference and anti-scattering properties during information extraction and transmission.

[0011] 3. While metasurface-based optical components, through special design and fabrication, can simultaneously extract multiple degrees of freedom information from the light field, they are costly and lack versatility and reconfigurability. In contrast, the scattering optical component designed in this invention has an extremely simple fabrication process and very low cost, effectively reducing system development costs while improving its ability to extract multiple degrees of freedom information.

[0012] 4. This invention only requires collecting single speckle intensity information and using a calculation-assisted method to simultaneously extract multi-degree-of-freedom information of the optical field, such as wavelength, amplitude, phase, polarization, and orbital angular momentum, effectively simplifying the process of simultaneously extracting multi-degree-of-freedom information of the optical field.

[0013] 5. This invention fully utilizes the multi-degree-of-freedom information of the incident light field, including wavelength, amplitude, phase, polarization, and orbital angular momentum, which can be simultaneously controlled by a digital microlens array with fast switching characteristics. Its maximum switching speed is >20 kHz, which significantly improves the transmission and extraction of multi-degree-of-freedom information of the light field.

[0014] 6. The optical field multi-degree-of-freedom information extraction method proposed in this invention based on scattering optical elements has strong reconfigurability, thereby ensuring that optical field multi-degree-of-freedom information can be extracted in real time, and has extremely strong timeliness.
