Spatiotemporal chaos synchronisation in broad-area lasers
Anbang Wang, Wenhui Chen, Yuncai Wang
Published Published online: 17 April 2026 , doi: 10.37188/lam.2026.043
Experiments on the unidirectional injection of broad-area vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers demonstrate the synchronisation of fast spatiotemporal chaos and slow polarization-hopping dynamics under conditions of spectral alignment of the dominant transverse modes. These findings pave the way for high-capacity secure communications and massively parallel information processing enabled by spatial division multiplexing.
Subpixel-free full-colour reflective displays via sub-1 V redox modulation
Jinsung Mok, Dagam Kim, Dae-Hyeong Kim
Published Published online: 17 April 2026 , doi: 10.37188/lam.2026.044
A vibrant, full-colour monopixel reflective display has been developed using a conductive polymer integrated within a Gires-Tournois resonator. By embedding the electrochromic medium inside a phase-engineered cavity, the platform enables sub-volt operation while substantially broadening the colour-tuning range within a single pixel. This architecture reconciles colour versatility with energy-efficient operation and scalability towards micrometre-scale reflective microdisplays.
Unveiling the local origin of circular dichroism in chiral metasurfaces
Kyung-Hyun Yu, Dasol Lee
Published Published online: 23 March 2026 , doi: 10.37188/lam.2026.023
In chiral metasurfaces, experiments reveal that circular dichroism (CD) is fundamentally dictated by asymmetric near-fields that are locally generated within individual meta-atoms. This work quantitatively establishes a sequential causal chain in which the geometric asymmetry of a meta-atom drives the selective excitation of specific eigenmodes and the emergence of chiral near-fields, which are manifested as the far-field CD response. Through this clarified linkage between geometry, modal responses, and optical chirality, chiral metasurface design can advance toward geometry-driven mode at the meta-atom level.
Scaling-up surface-emitting epitaxial lasers on silicon with one-dimensional photonic crystals

Published Published online: 19 March 2026 , doi: 10.37188/lam.2026.019
Directly growing III-V lasers on 300 mm silicon wafers is a crucial step for future photonic integrated circuits. While recent work has achieved electrically-pumped in-plane lasing, new research has shown that surface emission can be efficiency achieved by modifying the heteroepitaxy of InGaAs/GaAs nano-ridges to form a one-dimensional photonic crystal, opening a new direction for scale-up of high-density surface emitting lasers on silicon.
Seeing clearly with entangled biphotons

Published Published online: 12 March 2026 , doi: 10.37188/lam.2026.005
Position-correlated biphoton Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensing is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. Based on this approach, the biphoton correlation propagating through phase turbulence can be measured and corrected, thus enabling adaptive quantum imaging against phase disturbances with only a single-shot measurement.

Published Published online: 11 March 2026 , doi: 10.37188/lam.2026.015
Nonlinear metasurfaces are transforming wavefront control at the nanoscale, offering compact platforms for efficient frequency conversion and all-optical processing. In a recent advance, Franceschini et al. demonstrated a powerful method to generate tunable visible light by exploiting nonlinear coupling between two distinct resonances in an amorphous-silicon metasurface, all driven by a single broadband femtosecond pulse.
