活動簡介

     本計畫聚焦於超穎光學（metasurface optics）之前沿理論與關鍵應用，系統性整合電磁波動光學與射線光學理論、半導體製程技術，以及先進光學量測與系統整合，建立一條從”物理模型-元件設計-製程實現-系統應用”的完整研究鏈。研究核心在於發展具多波長、高自由度與高品質因子特性的超穎介面，突破傳統平面光學元件在光場操控效率、頻譜彈性與系統微型化上的限制。

    在理論與數值設計層面，本團隊發展多種波前操控與動量空間設計方法，成功實現連續式光束偏轉、多波長波前操控及偏振態全參數調控，並進一步將非厄米特物理、奇異點（exceptional points）與高品質因子共振機制引入超穎介面設計中，建立可描述複數光場與奇異點行為的物理模型。相關成果已發表於多篇國際頂級期刊，顯示其在基礎物理與奈米光子學領域的學術影響力。

    在實驗與製程方面，計畫充分運用半導體微影與奈米製程技術，成功製作高結構均勻性與高再現性的金屬及介電質超穎元件，並透過光學量測平台驗證其在多波長成像、偏振分辨顯示與高光譜資訊擷取上的實際效能。進一步地，研究成果已被整合至微型影像系統、光達（LiDAR）與高光譜成像架構中，展現超穎光學在次世代感測與影像系統中的高度應用潛力。

    此外，本計畫亦積極推動產學合作與技術落地，與多家國內外光電與系統廠商共同開發超穎光學元件於影像模組、擴增實境與感測系統中的應用，並已產生實質技術移轉與授權成果。整體而言，本研究不僅在超穎光學的基礎理論與元件物理上取得關鍵突破，也為高整合度、微型化與多功能光學系統奠定重要技術基礎，進一步強化臺灣在先進光電與奈米光子領域的國際競爭力。

    This project focuses on the frontier theories and key applications of metasurface optics, systematically integrating electromagnetic wave optics and ray optics, semiconductor fabrication technologies, and advanced optical characterization and system integration. Through this approach, a comprehensive research framework has been established, spanning from physical modeling and device design to fabrication realization and system-level applications. The core objective of this research is to develop metasurfaces with multi-wavelength functionality, high degrees of freedom, and high Q-factor characteristics, thereby overcoming the inherent limitations of conventional planar optical components in light-manipulation efficiency, spectral flexibility, and system miniaturization.

    On the theoretical and numerical design front, the research team has developed a variety of wavefront engineering and momentum-space design methodologies, enabling continuous beam steering, multi-wavelength wavefront control, and full-Stoke polarization manipulation. Furthermore, non-Hermitian physics, exceptional points, and high-Q resonant mechanisms have been systematically incorporated into metasurface designs, leading to the establishment of physical models capable of describing complex optical fields and singular-point behaviors. These achievements have been reported in multiple top-tier international journals, demonstrating the project’s strong academic impact in fundamental physics and nanophotonics.

From the experimental and fabrication perspective, the project fully leverages semiconductor lithography and nanofabrication technologies to realize metallic and dielectric metasurfaces with high structural uniformity and excellent reproducibility. Their performance has been experimentally validated using optical measurement platforms, confirming practical capabilities in multi-wavelength imaging, polarization-resolved displays, and hyperspectral information acquisition. Moreover, these research outcomes have been successfully integrated into miniaturized imaging systems, LiDAR platforms, and hyperspectral imaging architectures, highlighting the significant potential of metasurface optics in next-generation sensing and imaging systems.

 In addition, this project actively promotes industry-academia collaboration and technology translation by working closely with domestic and international photonics and system-level companies to develop metasurface-based optical components for imaging modules, augmented reality, and sensing applications, leading to tangible technology transfer and licensing outcomes. Overall, this research has achieved critical breakthroughs not only in the fundamental theories and device physics of metasurface optics, but also in establishing essential technological foundations for highly integrated, miniaturized, and multifunctional optical systems, thereby further strengthening Taiwan’s international competitiveness in advanced photonics and nanophotonics.
