Inhaltsangabe:
- Miniaturized and reconfigurable interfaces between confined optical modes within integrated photonic chips and structured light propagating in free space would serve as a cornerstone for fundamental optical science and modern photonic technology. In this work, we exploit the anisotropic nonlinear susceptibility tensors associated with thin-film lithium niobate to construct nanophotonic chip-space interfaces capable of flexibly generating and multi-dimensionally engineering structured light via injections of photons to on-chip waveguides. By harnessing the nonlinear Čerenkov radiation in integrated nonlinear microring resonators, we successfully tailor the spatial profile, polarization state, emission wavelength, topological charge and temporal wave packet of structured optical vortices, exhibiting reconfigurabilities and tuning ranges far beyond the state-of-the-art. To further showcase the capabilities of our platform, we use a single pump to generate tunable optical skyrmions via the spin-orbit coupling and multi-state integrated vortex microcombs in the visible range via synergistic $χ^{(2)}$ and $χ^{(3)}$ nonlinear optical processes. Our work bridges the research fields of structured light and integrated nonlinear optics, providing unprecedented opportunities for spatiotemporal light generation and on-chip multidimensional nonlinear optics.
