Abstract
Optical vortex beam carrying orbit angular momentum has been extensively researched and applied recently. Among which a perfect vortex beam (PVB) has attracted much attention owing to its topological charge (TC)-irrelevant intensity profile. However, the morphology singularity, as well as implementation complexity of the PVB tie the degree of freedom for multiplexing. Herein, by introducing the concept of a composite vortex beam, we originally propose a novel kind of PVB – perfect composite vortex beam (PCVB) – which possesses a rosette-like intensity pattern that is exactly correlated with the TC and can be directly generated using a single all-dielectric geometric metasurface rather than bulky optical systems. We numerically simulate the broadband generation of the proposed PCVB with various TCs, sizes, and rotation angles. To further explore the potential of our design in practical applications, we demonstrated the coaxial array of the PCVBs and detected their optical angular force for manipulating nanoparticles. We believe that our fruitage may pave a desirable avenue for optical communication, information processing, and optical manipulation.

1. Introduction
Vortex origins from a natural physical phenomenon in ocean. Analogously, the concept of optical vortex beam (OVB) also exists in the field of optics, whose wavefront features a doughnut intensity profile and a spiral phase distribution characterized by a spatial phase-dependent factor exp(ilθ), where l denotes the topological charge (TC), and θ is the azimuth angle [1,2]. So far, it has been generally reported that an OVB carrying orbit angular momentum (OAM) with infinite orthogonal eigenmodes is able to develop the information capacity of a single photon unboundedly, which raises a brand-new degree of freedom for applications in optical communication and manipulation [3–7]. Despite the precedence, the highly TC-dependent annular intensity profile makes it difficult to spatially superimpose the OVBs with different TCs in practical fields, such as coupling them into a single air-core fiber [8,9]. In order to overcome the limitation, perfect vortex beam (PVB) has been introduced as an ideal model of OVB, in which the annular intensity profile maintains constantly no matter how TC changes [10]. At first, conventional optical devices such as axion lens [11], spatial light modulator (SLM) [12], interferometer [13], and digital micro-mirror device [14] were utilized for the generation of PVB. Nevertheless, these methods generally require a series of bulky photonic elements, confronting with various inevitable obstacles in miniaturization and integration.
Metasurface, a two-dimensional (2D) metamaterial constructed by numerous artificial subwavelength meta-atoms, has been listed as a superior candidate for manipulating light arbitrarily in recent years [15–19]. Based on their remarkable advancement in flexibility and compactibility over macroscopic optical components, metasurfaces have brought tremendous vitality for integrating multiple functionalities into a single photonic device, leading to the development of various novel metasurface-based applications, for instance, metalenses [20–23], meta-holograms [24–26], high-resolution imaging [27–29], and vortex beam generators [30,31]. Recently, several attempts have been made to create the PVB with metasurfaces. In 2017, Wu et al. demonstrated an approach of implementing three geometric metasurfaces as substitutes for a spiral plate, an axion lens, and a Fourier transform lens to generate the PVB, while the complexity of its design still remained to be reduced [32]. In 2018, Zhang et al. originally merged the phase profiles of the three bulky optical elements into one plasmonic metasurface, thus simplified the platform availably [33]. Subsequently, more and more strategies have been proposed to further optimize and multifunctionalize the PVB-based metasurface system, so far it has been still a challenge to balance the trade-off between the generation efficiency and operating bandwidth. On the other hand, although the “perfect” characteristic of the PVB has brought an excellent convenience for spatially superposing various OVBs, it also leads to the impossibility to directly distinguish the PVBs with different TCs, producing an inconvenience in information reprocessing and utilization [34–40]. Hence, it is exigent to update the PVB with a more functional metasurface platform.
In this paper, we originally propose an advanced type of the PVB designated as perfect composite vortex beam (PCVB), which can be efficiently generated by a single all-dielectric geometric metasurface in a broadband region. The so-called PCVB is mainly featured with a rosette-like intensity pattern in the focal plane, whose petals are intensively connected with the TC, while the radius maintaining “perfect”. The extra degree of freedom is totally developed by introducing the concept of composite vortex beam (CVB) into our metasurface design. Based on finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method, we also discuss the generation of the PCVBs with various sizes and rotation angles. To further confirm the practicability of our work, we demonstrate a PCVB s’ coaxial array and detect their optical angular force for manipulating a metallic nanoparticle. We desire our work can open a new gate for various practical applications in optical communication, quantum information processing, and optical spanners.
2. Design and theory
As an ideal model of the OVB, the transverse complex amplitude distribution of the PVB can be expressed as [10]
where (r, θ) are the polar coordinates in the beam cross section, δ(r) is the Dirac delta function, and r0 is the radius of the annular intensity pattern. Since it has been extremely difficult to realize such an ideal model in experiment, a more practical way for generating a PVB is to directly perform the Fourier transform over a high-order Bessel-Gaussian beam (BGB) operating a Fourier transform lens [16,17]. In this case, Eq. (1) can be rewritten asTo numerically demonstrate the above-proposed scheme with a single all-dielectric geometric metasurface, we first extract the phase profiles of the CVB, axion lens, and Fourier transform lens for combining them as the metasurface phase as shown in Fig. 2(a). The phase profiles of the three optical components can be described as
where (x, y) are the Cartesian coordinates, NA is the numerical aperture of the axion lens, and f is the focal length of the Fourier transform lens. The basic unit-cell of the designed metasurface is shown in Fig. 3(a), which contains a H = 600 nm height crystalline silicon (c-Si) rectangular nanopillar arranging spatially on a sapphire substrate with a nominal lattice constant of P = 400 nm. The selection of the antenna height H = 600 nm was referred to the normal thickness of spin-coated silicon on substrate (SOS) layer. The selection of the lattice constant P = 400 nm was referred to former metasurface-based PVB works for gaining a desirable high diffraction efficiency in the near infrared region via optimizing the length and width of the nanopillar. Since the high refractive index and low loss of the c-Si strongly governs the functionality of the nanostructure [37,42], our metasurface can lead a great transmission to the subsequent simulations. As a result, for a normally incident circularly polarized light, the geometry-dependent-only Pancharatnam-Berry (PB) phase (or geometric phase) covering from 0 to 2π will be fully yielded by the rotating anisotropic rectangular nanopillars [17,20,27], which can be expressed asIn order to realize a broadband generation of the proposed PCVB within the modulation of the PB phase, each nanopillar scatterer of the metasurface array should act as a broadband half-wave plate with a relatively high transmission efficiency across the entire operating waveband [35–37]. To ensure this primary prerequisite, we implement FDTD method to optimize the structural parameters of the nanopillar, where periodic boundary conditions (PBCs) are applied in the x and y directions for simulating a periodic array, and perfect matched layers (PMLs) are adopted to the propagation z direction for eliminating the nonphysical reflections. Besides, the corresponding complex refractive index of the materials except for c-Si are all taken from [43]. The refractive index of c-Si is taken from our experiment data. As shown in Fig. 3(a), the length and width of the nanopillar are optimized to be L = 186 nm and W = 122 nm, which can exhibit an extremely high polarization conversion efficiency (PCE) from 750 to 830 nm in Fig. 3(c), while preserving a phase retardation close to π between the x- and y- polarization components in Fig. 3(d). It is worth mentioning that the PCE discussed here can be defined as: PCE = |tcross|2/(|tco|2+|tcross|2), the transmittance for circularly polarized light can be calculated as |tcross|2 = 1/4[txexp(iφx)- tyexp(iφy)]2 and |tco|2 = 1/4[txexp(iφx)+ tyexp(iφy)]2, where tx, ty, φx, φy are the amplitude and phase shifts of the complex amplitude transmission coefficients for linearly polarized light along the x and y axis, respectively [35]. As a result, our designed all-dielectric geometric metasurface can achieve an extremely high polarization conversion efficiency more than 100% over a broadband range from 750 to 830 nm, as well as the transmittance of the cross-circularly-polarized light can reach over a relatively high value of 0.6 during the broadband range and the highest value of 0.84 at 780 nm. Moreover, the two waveguide-like modes suggested in the magnet field distributions in Fig. 3(b) further unveil the physical mechanism behind the π phase delay, demonstrating the optimized nanopillar as a highly efficient half-wave plate.
3. Result and discussion
According to the above discussions, we first demonstrate the broadband generation of the PCVBs in a near-infrared region by carrying on the FDTD simulations, where PML boundary conditions are applied in the x, y, and z directions. For simplicity, it is only considered superposing two LG modes with the same circular polarization state at z = 0 in this section. Therefore, Eq. (5) can be rewritten as
Then we demonstrate the generation of several PCVBs with various sizes at the central wavelength of 780 nm by simply adjusting the numerical apertures of the metasurfaces, as shown in Fig. 5. It can be clearly seen that, with the numerical apertures ranging from NA = 0.1 to NA = 0.3, the radiuses of the PCVBs increase as well, which are proportional to the numerical apertures of the metasurfaces. Additionally, it can also be seen that with the enlargement of the beam sizes, the intensity patterns gradually become more divergent, which may be affected by the relative sizes between the generated PCVBs and metasurfaces. Therefore, it is critical to balance the trade-off between the numerical aperture and fabrication size of the metasurface for generating a high-quality PCVB with a proper size. As a result, we mainly select NA = 0.2 as a compromised choice in this manuscript.
Additionally, we further discuss the generation of the PCVBs with various rotation angles and orientations, which are shown in Fig. 6. It can be clearly seen that, comparing with the contrast group of δl1 = δl2 = 0, the PCVBs with different TCs of l = 1, l = 2, and l = 3 are rotated anticlockwisely by about 60°, 30°, and 20° when δl1 = 2/3π and δl2 = 0, respectively, while being rotated clockwisely when δl1 = 0 and δl2 = 2/3π. The results generally indicate that the initial phases essentially represent the contributions of different superposition modes to the rotation of the PCVB, in which the positive and negative TCs of l1 and l2 are corresponding to the anticlockwise and clockwise orientations, respectively. As a result, the initial phases of the CVB and the rotation angle of the PCVB α can be approximately inferred as
where the operational sign of the result solely denotes the rotation orientation. Thus, via simply designing the initial phases of the metasurface, the rotation of the PCVB is supposed to be controlled arbitrarily.To further explore the superiority of our design in practical applications, a coaxial array composed of multiple axially-distributed PCVBs is also demonstrated here. As shown in Fig. 7(a), the phase profiles for generating the PCVBs are merged into a single array phase, which can be described as
Last but not least, we calculate the optical angular forces of the PCVBs for demonstrating its capability of manipulating particles. As shown in Fig. 8(a), an Ag particle with radius of 0.2 µm is placed at x = −5 µm in the focal plane of f = 18.7 µm. Therefore, for a normally incident RCP light of 780 nm, the generated LCP PCVBs with different TCs of l = 1, l = 2, and l = 3 will exert an optical force on the Ag particle, respectively. Using the optical force calculation toolbox based on Maxwell stress tensor (MST) available in FDTD software, thus the force of nanoparticles in the light field can be calculated by integrating the MST on the particle surface. The time-average force exerted on the particle can be expressed as
4. Conclusion
In summary, we have originally proposed a new category of PVB called PCVB, whose “perfect” intensity profile exhibits a rosette-like appearance composed of several TC-related petals. The extra degrees of freedom are genetically inherited by introducing the concept of CVB into the conventional methodology for generating a PVB. Following the trend of miniaturization and integration, we demonstrate the proposed scheme by implementing a single geometric metasurface instead of utilizing bulky optical devices. Based on the numerical simulations with FDTD method, our design is demonstrated to perform a great functionality of generating the PCVBs with various operating wavelengths, diameters, as well as rotation angles for superposition and manipulation. Benefit from the design flexibility and fabrication simplicity, it is desired to experimentally achieve a PCVB-based metasurface platform with even more diversity and superiority in the future.
