Abstract: The interplay between light and magnetism is considered as a promising solution to fully steer multidimensional magnetic oscillations/vectors, facilitating the development of all-optical multilevel recording/memory technologies. To date, impressive progress in multistate magnetization instead of a binary level has been witnessed by primarily resorting to double laser beam excitation. Yet, the control mechanisms are limited to specific magnetic medium or intricate optical configuration as well as overlooking the crystallographic architecture of the media and the polarization-phase linkage of the light fields. Here, we theoretically present a novel all-optical strategy for generating arbitrary multistate magnetization through the inverse Faraday effect. This is achieved by strongly focusing a single vortex-phase configured beam with circular polarization onto the anisotropic magnetic medium. By judiciously tuning the topological charge effect, the optical anisotropic effect, and the anisotropic optomagnetic effect, the light-induced magnetic vector can be flexibly redistributed between its transverse and longitudinal components, thus enabling orientation-unlimited multilevel magnetization control. In this optomagnetic process, we also reveal the role of anisotropy-mediated spin-orbit coupling, another physical mechanism that enables the effective translation of the angular momentum of light fields to the magnetic system. Furthermore, the conceptual paradigm of all-optical multistate magnetization is verified. Our findings show great prospect in multidimensional high-density optomagnetic recording and memory devices and also in high-speed information processing science and technology.

Abstract: Bound states in the continuum (BICs) offer novel mechanisms to boost the quality factor (Q‐factor) of resonances. Unfortunately, current studies on chiral BICs metasurfaces suffer from a fundamental trade‐off between Q‐factor and circular dichroism (CD), presenting a significant hurdle that severely limits the independent control between CD and Q‐factors. Here, 3D plasmonic metasurfaces are numerically demonstrated that overcome the trade‐off and offer high‐Q quasi‐BIC resonances (Q ≈ 938) with strong CD (≈0.67) in the mid‐infrared. These metasurfaces are made of integrated‐resonance units consisting of a twisted vertical split‐ring resonator (VSRR) and a wall. Importantly, this dissimilar dimer configuration unlocks a new degree of freedom to decouple the Q‐factor and CD, that is, the Q‐factor and CD can be relatively independently manipulated by the height of the wall and the twisted angle of the VSRR, respectively. These results provide novel paradigms to manipulate advanced chiroptical responses, with various applications that require strong CD with enhanced light–matter interaction.

Abstract: This study proposes the usage of an effective potential to investigate a dissipative quantum system with rotational velocity. After gauge transformation, a Doebner- Goldin equation (DGE) that describes the dissipative quantum system with a Dirac potential is obtained. The DGE is solved based on constraint of vertical relation between the rotational velocity field and density gradient when a harmonic oscillator model is considered. It is observed that the dissipative quantum system is directly equivalent to a monopole system and that the two gauge potentials that are given by Wu and Yang in the north and south hemispheres can be reproduced. Furthermore, a set of gauge-invariant parameters is obtained to discuss the dissipation characteristics of the system.

Abstract: Light traveling in time-dependent media has many extraordinary properties which can be utilized to convert frequency, achieve temporal cloaking and simulate cosmological phenomena. In this paper, we focus on time-dependent axion-type magnetoelectric (ME) media and prove that light in these media always has two degenerate modes with opposite circular polarizations corresponding to one wave vector "Equation missing" and name this effect “time circular birefringence” (TCB). By interchanging the status of space and time, the pair of TCB modes can appear simultaneously via “time refraction” and “time reflection” of a linear polarized incident wave at a time interface of ME media. The superposition of the two TCB modes causes the “time Faraday effect”, namely the globally unified polarization axes rotate with time. A circularly polarized Gaussian pulse traversing a time interface is also studied. If the wave-vector spectrum of a pulse mainly concentrates in the non-traveling-wave band, the pulse will be trapped with nearly fixed center while its intensity will grow rapidly. In addition, we propose an experimental scheme of using molecular fluid with external time-varying electric and magnetic fields both parallel to the direction of light to realize these phenomena in practice.

Abstract: We report a new paradigm for achieving magnetization spot arrays with controllable three-dimensional (3D) orientations. Toward this aim, we subtly design a tailored incident beam containing three parts and further demonstrate that the designed incident beam is phase-modulated radial polarization. Based on the raytracing model under tight focusing condition and the inverse Faraday effect on the magneto-optic (MO) film, the magnetization field components along the y -axis and z -axis directions are generated through the focus. In particular, we are able to garner orientation-tunable 3D magnetization under different numerical apertures of the focusing objectives by adjusting the ratios between the three parts of incident beam. Apart from a single magnetization spot, magnetization spot arrays capable of dynamically controlling 3D orientation in each spot can also be achieved by multi-zone plate (MZP) phase filter. Such a robust magnetization pattern is attributed to not only the constructive interferences of three orthogonal focal field components, but also the position translation of each magnetization spot resulting from shifting phase of the MZP phase filter. It is expected that the research outcomes can be beneficial to spintronics, magnetic encryption and multi-value MO parallelized storage.
