In this paper,a dual circularly polarized(CP) monostatic simultaneous transmit and receive(MSTAR) antenna with enhanced isolation is proposed to alleviate the problem. The proposed antenna consists of one sequentially rotating array(SRA), two beamforming networks(BFN), and a combined decoupling structure. The SRA is shared by the transmit and receive to reduce the size of the antenna and to obtain a consistent transmit and receive pattern.The BFN achieve right-hand CP for transmit and left-hand CP for receive. By exploring the combined decoupling structure of uniplanar compact electromagnetic band gap(UC-EBG) and ringshaped defected ground structure(RS-DGS), good transmitreceive isolation is achieved. The proposed antenna prototype is fabricated and experimentally characterized. The simulated and measured results show good agreement. The demonstrate transmit/receive isolation is height than 33 dB, voltage standing wave ratio is lower than 2, axial ratio is lower than 3 dB, and consistent radiation for both transmit and receive is within4.25-4.35 GHz.展开更多

It was still a formidablechallenge to fabricate CPL-active perovskites with significant luminescent asymmetry factor (glum) and full-colour-tailorableCPL properties. Indeed, compared to isotropic perovskites, anisotropic perovskite nanowires (NWs)were conducive to carrier separation and transport for polarization enhancement. Herein, three types of CsPb(Br/I)3 NWs with green, orange, red fluorescence (FL) were respectively synthesized and assembled into chiral NWfilms. The right-handed/left-handed chiral NW films constructed by 4+4 layers and 45° inter-angles exhibitshighly symmetric and mirror-like chiral signals. The strongest chiral intensity is more than 3000 medg. CPLsignals with wide colour gamut produce ranging from 480 nm to 800 nm, and tailorable CPL wavelengths aremanipulated by the emission wavelength of perovskite NWs. A giant CPL signal with a maximum glum of up to 10^(-1) is achieved. The polarization imaging of chiral NW films produces brilliant differential circularly polarizedstructural colours, making it more widely used in multilevel anti-counterfeiting systems. A significant break-throughlies in the development of advanced chiral perovskite materials with remarkable glum and tailorable CPLproperties, which sheds new light on optical anti-counterfeiting and intelligent information encryption.展开更多

The dual-CP performance is realized based on the symmetrical septum circular polarizer based on the gap waveguide (GWG) technology. Two sets of symmetrical septum circular polarizers are used for common aperture combination,achieving the broadband dual-CP characteristics. Taking advantage of GWG structure without good electrical contact, the antenna can also be fabricated and assembled easily in the mmW band. The principle analysis of the antenna is given, and the antenna is simulated and fabricated. The measured results show that the bandwidth for S11lower than-10.7 dB and the axial ratio (AR) lower than 2.90 dB in 75-110 GHz, with realative bandwidth of 38%. Over the frequency band, the gain is higher than 9.16 dBic, and the dual-CP port isolation is greater than32 dB. The proposed antenna with dual-CP and highly isolated in a wide bandwidth range has broad application prospects in the field of mmW communication.展开更多

文摘Although many racemic M4L6cages have been synthesized,little attention has been paid to the resolution of M4L6cages because resolution of these cages is very difficult.To explore the use of optically pure M4L6cages in chiral applications,it is important to obtain a single enantiomer.In this work,the anionicΛΛΛΛ-Zr_(4)L_(6)andΛΛΛΛ-Zr_(4)L_(6)(L=embonate)cages have been completely separated by introducing chiral organic ligands R/S-BINAP and 1S,2S/1R,2R-DPEN,respectively,and the active vertex of homochiral Zr_(4)L_(6)cage trapsπ-conjugated coordination silver cations(such as[Ag_(2)(DPPM)_(2)]^(2+),chiral[Ag_(2)(PPh_(3))_(2)(DPEN)]^(2+)and[Ag(PPh_(3))(DPEN)]^(+)),obtaining two pair of pure enantiomers(PTC-375(Λ/Λ)and PTC-376(Λ/Λ)).Interestingly,the chiral resolution and surface modification of such zirconium cage endow it with homochirality and significant circularly polarized luminescence(CPL)response,and PTC-376 enantiomers show a CPL output with glumvalues up to~1.4×10^(-2).This work not only provides a new resolution strategy for metal-organic cages,but also expands their chiral application especially in CPL field.

文摘Chiral metal-organic clusters(MOCs)integrating lanthanide ions(Ln^(3+))and organic luminophores present a promising platform for modulating circularly polarized luminescence(CPL).However,achieving dual-wavelength CPL in discrete cluster systems constitutes a considerable challenge.Herein,two enantiomeric pairs of heterometallic EuSn oxo clusters,designated as Sn_(2)EuL_(2)-R/S and Sn_(2)EuL_(4)-R/S,were strategically synthesized using axially chiral binaphthol-phosphonate ligands.These hybrid clusters exhibit dual emission,characterized by a broad ligand-derived fluorescence band superimposed with sharp,characteristic Eu^(3+)f-f transitions,which enables excitation-dependent luminescence color tuning.Their emission profiles and quantum yields are found to be exquisitely adjusted by the distinct coordination environments of Sn^(4+)centers.Notably,Sn_(2)EuL_(2)-R/S demonstrates CPL activity in both near-UV(|g_(lum)|=1.7×10^(-3))and visible(|g_(lum)|=3.1×10^(-2))regions.This work not only reports the first instance of dual-wavelength CPL in a lanthanide/tin oxo complex but also establishes a robust design strategy for fabricating color-tunable chiral photonic materials.

文摘Recently circularly polarized luminescence(CPL)materials have attracted significant interest.Introducing reversible dynamic property to these materials has been a key focus in cutting-edge fields,such as in high-level information encryption.Here,we provided a novel and general strategy involving handednessselective filtration and ground-state chiral self-recovery(CSR)in double film system to address this issue.Based on this strategy,we achieved CPL switch through the reversible modulation of ground-state chirality including absorption and scattering circular dichroism(CD)signals over the full UV-visible wavelength range(365-700 nm)in a single azobenzene polymer(PAzo)film.More importantly,by flexibly changing the type of fluorescent films,it is convenient to achieve general excited-state CSR,that is reversible switching of full-color including ideal white(CIE coordinate(0.33,0.33)),as well as room-temperature phosphorescent CPL.All these CPL signals without almost any intensity decay after three cycles of onand-off switching.Experimental results indicated that the trans-cis isomerization and ordered rearrangement of azobenzene units in PAzo film were the fundamental reasons for realizing CPL switching.Finally,based on this system we achieved dynamic visual encryption and decryption process including multiple decryption methods.This study provides an effective method for constructing a universally applicable chiroptical switch in excited state.

文摘Circularly polarized luminescence(CPL)-active materials have a wide range of technological applications.Traditionally,creating CPL-active materials relies on the use of chiral luminophores.In contrast,supramolecular assembly introduces an innovative and promising strategy for developing CPL-active materials not only from chiral luminophores but also from achiral species.This approach significantly enriches the diversity of CPL-active materials.It also offers an effective means to optimize the performance of CPL-active materials,such as enhancing the asymmetry factor|glum|.Compared to polymers,the assembly of small molecules is generally easier to control.This review systematically summarizes the recent progress and developments in CPL from small-molecule assemblies,particularly focusing on differences,merits,and demerits of three typical assembly modes.The aim is to provide valuable insights for the future development of chiroptical materials.

文摘The evolution in momentum space of bound states in the continuum(BICs)and circularly polarized states(CPSs)—as far-field polarization singularities—can be observed by controlling the geometric parameters of photonic crystals.This offers significant potential in optics and photonics.Here,we reveal that in complex lattices far-field polarization singularities can be flexibly manipulated while preserving structural symmetry.A change in topological charge for the at-ΓBIC can generate new BICs or CPSs.At an off-Γpoint,a BIC can spawn from the collision of two CPSs.As the thickness of the structure increases,this BIC will meet the at-ΓBIC.The merging of BICs can induce topological charge transition and yield a large wavevector space around theΓpoint with ultra-high quality(Q)factors.Our findings provide a novel degree of freedom for manipulating polarization singularities,which holds great promise in radiation modulation and singular optics.

文摘Non-covalent interactions-driven host-vip assembly based on metallo-tweezers has been used to construct varied optical functional materials with attractive structures and properties.We reported here two pairs of chiral gold(Ⅰ)-based metallo-tweezers as hosts to clip Ag^(Ⅰ)or Cu^(Ⅰ)cations for circularly polarized phosphorescence(CPP),driven by the integration of two-fold coordination and heterometallophilic interactions.The Au^(Ⅰ)-based hosts and metal ions-vips formed sandwich structures in 1:1 ratio with high binding affinity.The achieved tweezer/cation adducts exhibited red-shifted absorption bands and circular dichroism signals,which were attributed to the newly formed ligand to metal-metal charge transfer process.Remarkably,the host-vip supramolecular adducts showed turn-on phosphorescence and CPP,which benefited from rigidifying effect of multiple intermolecular interactions and shorter excited-state lifetime.Overall,our findings bring new insights into the feasibility to achieve and modulate CPP performance by fabricating metallo-tweezer-based host-vip complexes.
文摘A millimeter-wave (mmW) broadband dual circularly polarized (dual-CP) antenna with high port isolation is proposed in this paper. The dual-CP performance is realized based on the symmetrical septum circular polarizer based on the gap waveguide (GWG) technology. Two sets of symmetrical septum circular polarizers are used for common aperture combination,achieving the broadband dual-CP characteristics. Taking advantage of GWG structure without good electrical contact, the antenna can also be fabricated and assembled easily in the mmW band. The principle analysis of the antenna is given, and the antenna is simulated and fabricated. The measured results show that the bandwidth for S11lower than-10.7 dB and the axial ratio (AR) lower than 2.90 dB in 75-110 GHz, with realative bandwidth of 38%. Over the frequency band, the gain is higher than 9.16 dBic, and the dual-CP port isolation is greater than32 dB. The proposed antenna with dual-CP and highly isolated in a wide bandwidth range has broad application prospects in the field of mmW communication.

文摘Metal-complexed chiral macrocyclic architectures have attracted increasing research interests in circularly polarized luminescence owing to their distinctive structural and functional attributes.The method of metal coordination has emerged as a robust methodology for chirality induction in many systems.In this work,we engineered two rigid and flexible chiral organic ligands(L_(1) and L_(2))by synergizing the inherent planar chirality of pillar[5]arenes with tailored metal-coordination moieties.They demonstrate versatile coordination capabilities toward both 3d-and 4f-block metals,enabling modulation of luminescent characteristics with blue,green and red emissions.Four planar chiral complexes exhibiting CPL activity were synthesized through systematic coordination of L_(1)/L_(2) with Zn^(2+),Eu^(3+),and Tb^(3+).The coordination processes effectively rigidify molecular conformations,leading to an enhanced CPL performance.Particularly,the Tb-L_(2) complex displays superior lanthanide-centered emission with a fluorescence quantum yield of~55%and an emission dissymmetry factor glum=5.5×10^(-3).By engineering the substitution on pillar[5]arene scaffolds,we have established a metal-coordination platform with CPL characteristics,which paves the way in the design of new metal-based luminescent materials.

文摘Floquet engineering provides a powerful and flexible method for modifying the band structures of quantum materials.While circularly polarized light has been shown to convert curved nodal lines in three-dimensional semimetals into Weyl points,such a transformation is forbidden for an isolated straight nodal line.In this work,we uncover a dramatic shift in this paradigm when multiple straight nodal lines intersect.We observe that circularly polarized light not only gaps them into Weyl points but also induces unprecedented surface-state Fermi arcs that extend across the entire surface Brillouin zone and form a linked topological structure.These findings advance our fundamental understanding of light-driven transitions in topological semimetals and unveil a unique Weyl semimetal phase defined by linked Fermi arcs.We discuss potential exotic phenomena arising from this phase,applications of our predictions to spin-split antiferromagnets,and the extension of this Weyl semimetal phase to classical systems.

文摘Co-assembling chiral molecules with achiral compounds via non-covalent interactions like areneperfluoroarene(AP) interactions offers an effective approach for fabricating chiral functional materials.Herein,chiral molecules L/D-PF1 and L/D-PF2 with pyrene groups were synthesized and its chiroptical properties upon co-assembly with achiral compound octafluoronaphthalene(OFN) through AP interaction were systemically studied.The co-assembly of L/D-PF1/OFN and L/D-PF2/OFN exhibited distinct chiroptical properties such as circular dichroism(CD) and circularly polarized luminescence(CPL) signals.Chirality transfer from the chirality center of L/D-PF1 and L/D-PF2 to the achiral OFN and chiral amplification were successfully achieved.Besides,no significant CPL signal was observed in the self-assembly of L/DPF1 or L/D-PF2 while co-assembly with OFN exhibited obvious CPL amplification induced by AP interaction.Notably,a reversal CD signal and CPL signal could be observed in L/D-PF2/OFN when the molar ratio changed from 1:1 to 1:2 while not found in L/D-PF1/OFN,indicating that that minor structural changes of molecules could cause large changes in assembly.In addition,a series of computational calculations were conducted to verify the AP interaction between L-PF1/L-PF2 and OFN.This work demonstrated that arene-perfluoroarene interaction could drive chiral transfer,chiral amplification and chiral inversion and provided a new method for the preparation of chiroptical materials.

文摘In this paper,a new compact ultrawideband(UWB)circularly polarized(CP)antenna array for vehicular communications is proposed.The antenna array consists of a 2×2 sequentially rotated T-shaped cross dipole,four parasitic elements,and a feeding network.By loading the T-shaped cross dipoles with parasitic rectangular elements with cut corners,the bandwidth can be expanded.On this basis,the radiation pattern can be improved by the topology with sequential rotation of four T-shaped cross-dipole antennas,and the axial ratio(AR)bandwidth of the antenna also can be further enhanced.In addition,due to the special topology that the vertical arms of all Tshaped cross dipoles are all oriented toward the center of the antenna array,the gain of proposed antenna is improved while the size of the antenna is almost the same as the traditional cross dipole.Simulated and measured results show that the proposed antenna has good CP characteristics,an impedance bandwidth for S11<-10 d B of about 106.1%(3.26:1,1.57-5.12 GHz)and the 3-d B AR bandwidth of about 104.1%(3.17:1,1.57-4.98 GHz),a wide 3-d B gain bandwidth of 73.3%as well as the peak gain of 8.6 d Bic at 3.5 GHz.The overall size of antenna is 0.56λ×0.56λ×0.12λ(λrefers to the wavelength of the lowest operating frequency in free space).The good performance of this compact UWB CP antenna array is promising for applications in vehicular communications.

文摘Circularly polarized light(CPL)has been given great attention because of its extensive application.While several devices for CPL detection have been studied,their performance is affected by the magnitude of photocurrent.In this paper,a self-powered photodetector based on hot electrons in chiral metamaterials is proposed and optimized.CPL can be distinguished by the direction of photocurrent without external bias owing to the interdigital electrodes with asymmetric chiral metamaterials.Distinguished by the direction of photocurrent,the device can easily detect the rotation direction of the CPL electric field,even if it only has a very weak responsivity.The responsivity of the proposed detector is near 1.9 mA/W at the wavelength of 1322 nm,which is enough to distinguish CPL.The detector we proposed has the potential for application in optical communication.
