4 How to design any linear optical component Caveat Not really going to show how to make any very complicated optical component This approach has obvious practical limits But we can prove that any linear optical component that does not otherwise violate laws of physics is possible in principle And it could be practical and very interesting in some cases especially exploiting silicon photonics in new ways And we really can do this without any calculations! real-time adaptive, self-designing, self-stabilizing optics

6 + = An example problem Separating overlapping beams

7 Example - Separating overlapping beams Suppose we have two different (orthogonal) beams e.g., from an optical fiber such as a single bump beam intensity field and a two bump beam

8 Example - Separating overlapping beams If both of these beams emerge simultaneously from the fiber how can we separate them for example to different fibers without loss? loss-less mode separator

9 Example - Separating overlapping beams If both of these beams emerge simultaneously from the fiber how can we separate them for example to different fibers without loss? loss-less mode separator

10 Example - Separating overlapping beams If both of these beams emerge simultaneously from the fiber how can we separate them for example to different fibers without loss? + = loss-less mode separator

11 Example - Separating overlapping beams In situations with fixed highly symmetric beams good specific low-loss separation solutions are known + = loss-less mode separator But for general cases of lower symmetry and/or higher complexity or where the beams change in time general solutions have not been known

12 Dividing the beam into patches We can approach the beam-separation problem by presuming it will be good enough to imagine that we can divide the beam up into a finite number of patches

13 Dividing the beam into patches We can approach the beam-separation problem by presuming it will be good enough to imagine that we can divide the beam up into a finite number of patches We treat each of these patches as if it was approximately uniform in intensity and in phase At least with a sufficiently large number of patches this could be a good enough approximation and sampling loss may be small

14 Dividing the beam into patches Even relatively small numbers of patches are sufficient to distinguish beams of low or moderate complexity

15 Dividing the beam into patches Even relatively small numbers of patches are sufficient to distinguish beams of low or moderate complexity

Res. 1, 1-15 (2013)

38 Describing an arbitrary linear optical component Any linear optical component can be described by a linear device or scattering operator D and we can perform the singular value decomposition (SVD) D=VD diag U U and V are unitary operators and D diag is a diagonal operator If we can emulate any SVD for given input and output spaces then we can make any linear optical device for those spaces input or source space device or scatterer output or receiving space "All linear optical devices are mode converters," Opt. Express 20, (2012)

39 Describing an arbitrary linear optical component Because of the SVD D=VDdiagU all linear optical devices are mode converters Any linear optical device can be completely described as a mapping from the mode-converter input functions the columns of U with scattering strengths or couplings the elements of D diag to the mode-converter output functions the columns of V input or source space device or scatterer output or receiving space "All linear optical devices are mode converters," Opt. Express 20, (2012)

40 Formal mathematics singular value decomposition These configurations implement the singular value decomposition with full generality so we can design and make any linear optical component for these input and output spaces Proves any linear optical component is possible D diag U V D diag V Photon. Res. 1, 1-15 (2013) U

41 Radiation laws Updating and extending Kirchhoff s law

42 Radiation laws Kirchhoff s radiation law the absorptivity of a surface the fraction of the incident light power it absorbs at a given wavelength must equal the emissivity of a surface the amount of thermal radiation power it emits at a given wavelength relative to the amount a black body would emit Required so that two bodies at the same temperature cannot exchange thermal radiation in such a way that one of them heats up the other one which would violate the second law of thermodynamics

43 A directional Kirchhoff radiation law This law is commonly extended also to state that the absorptivity of a wave in a given direction incident on a surface is equal to the emissivity back into the same direction giving a directional radiation law Object

44 Problems with Kirchhoff radiation laws This directional derivation was done neglecting diffraction so it is not clear it applies to small objects such as wavelength-scale or smaller light beams especially focused ones without a unique direction explicitly presuming reciprocity so this directional law does not work for non-reciprocal objects which could, e.g., absorb nothing for light in one direction while being able to emit in that direction Object

45 First new Radiation Law The absorptivity of any mode-converter input mode of an object is equal to the emissivity into the corresponding modeconverter output mode Note this is not the emissivity back into the reversed input mode it is the emissivity into the corresponding scattered mode this is a new radiation law and it applies to reciprocal and non-reciprocal objects this law lets us prove three other laws DM, L. Zhu, and S. Fan, PNAS 114, 4336 (2017)

46 Proof of the First Law Single mode Black body B 1 Because we know we can construct any linear optical machine we know we can make one that maps the output from a singlemode black body to a given mode-converter input mode and maps the resulting scattered output which is all into the corresponding mode-converter output mode back into the single-mode black body Input ports PNAS 114, 4336 (2017) 1 2 N Optical machine M p Object D Free space Circulator C 1 p Circulator C N 1 2 N Single mode Black body B N Circulator C 2 Single mode Black body B 2 Output ports

47 Proof of the First Law Single mode Black body B 1 This lets us set up a thermal equilibrium argument between the black body and the light absorbed, scattered and emitted in this specific mode-converter function pair and this Law follows simply as a result Input ports 1 2 N Optical machine M p Object D Free space Circulator C 1 p Circulator C N 1 2 N Single mode Black body B N Output ports Circulator C 2 PNAS 114, 4336 (2017) Single mode Black body B 2

48 Proof of the First Law Single mode Black body B 1 Some power from the black body B 1 is absorbed by the object the rest is scattered back to the black body B 1 and no other power is scattered to B 1 For equilibrium, the object must emit as much power as it absorbs so the absorptivity of the input mode-converter beam equals the emissivity into the corresponding output modeconverter beam Input ports PNAS 114, 4336 (2017) 1 2 N Optical machine M p Object D Free space Circulator C 1 p Circulator C N 1 2 N Single mode Black body B N Circulator C 2 Single mode Black body B 2 Output ports

49 Another law Modal law for reciprocal objects For any given input beam at a given frequency incident on a reciprocal object, the absorptivity is equal to the emissivity into the phase-conjugated version of that beam Notes: For reciprocal objects this is what we actually wanted the directional version of Kirchhoff s radiation law to be it gives equality of the absorptivity of any input beam and the emissivity into its reversed version as long as the object is reciprocal so it gives a simple radiation law valid for any scale of object and any beam (for reciprocal objects) PNAS 114, 4336 (2017)
