Patent number: 11971643Abstract: A reflective dynamic metasurface of an embodiment comprises a structure enabling phase modulation in each of pixels constituting at least a one-dimensional array. The metasurface includes: a laminated structure body having a transparent conductive layer and a dielectric layer; a first metal film on one surface of the laminated structure body; a second metal film on the other surface of the laminated structure body; and a drive circuit controlling voltage applied between the first and second metal films. The first and second metal films are arranged to sandwich the pixels. The first metal film is arranged to expose a pair of window regions in one pixel, and the second metal film includes partial metal films defining the shape of each pixel and separated from each other. The drive circuit individually controls the potential of each partial metal film, thereby modulating the phase of the input light for each pixel.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2019Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: HAMAMATSU PHOTONICS K.K.Inventors: Soh Uenoyama, Kazuyoshi Hirose, Yoshitaka Kurosaka, Hiroshi Tanaka

Patent number: 11923655Abstract: The present embodiment relates to a light emission device capable of removing zero-order light from output light of an S-iPM laser. The light emission device comprises an active layer and a phase modulation layer. The phase modulation layer includes a base layer and a plurality of modified refractive index regions. In a state in which a virtual square lattice is set on the phase modulation layer, a center of gravity of each modified refractive index region is separated from a corresponding lattice point, and a rotation angle around each lattice point that decides a position of the center of gravity of each modified refractive index region is set according to a phase distribution for forming an optical image. A lattice spacing and an emission wavelength satisfy a condition of M-point oscillation in a reciprocal lattice space of the phase modulation layer.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2019Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: HAMAMATSU PHOTONICS K.K.Inventors: Kazuyoshi Hirose, Yuu Takiguchi, Takahiro Sugiyama, Yoshitaka Kurosaka
