Based on the quantized method of the LC circuit model, our group has studied the elementary excitation in metamaterial and introduced its “quasi-particle”. By using the two-photon inference, the quantum property of metamaterial and the correctness of the quantized method were proved. This quantized method was further used to investigate the interaction between metamaterial and active material, and the amplification by the stimulated emission radiation can be found in this system. These results show that metamaterials not only can steer the light in classical regime but also have a potential application in quantum optics..

By using the Fabry-Perot resonator effect, Fano resonance, and mSurface plasmon polaritons (SPPs), the electromagnetic fields propagating along the metal-dielectric interface, are regard as the promising candidate of the next photonic integrated circuits. Several metal slit structures based on the SPPs are summarized. By using the Fabry-Perot resonator effect, Fano resonance, and multimode interference, the SPP propagation could be controlled and modulated by these metal slit structures. As a result, a subwavelength unidirectional SPP generator, a submicron broad unidirectional SPP generator, submicron SPP splitters, nano-focusing devices, and submicron all-optical switches were realized in the metal slit structures. These nano-plasmonic devices have important applications in highly integrated photonics..

Usually quantum information is encoded in a two-dimensional space of a photon, a robust information carrier. In this case, each photon can carry a bit of information. If the photon can live in a high-dimensional space, then the information carried by each photon could be increased significantly, the channel capacity of the network and the transmission efficiency would then be greatly enlarged. Moreover, storing high-dimensional states in quantum memory leads to significant improvements in storage capacity. After briefly introducing the progresses achieved at home and abroad, a significant breakthrough was reviewed towards the realization of high-dimensional quantum memories based on a cold atomic ensemble in detail, and some basic problems remaining were proposed which need to be solved to build the future quantum internet..

There are many different kinds of rare earth elements, and each of them has abundant energy levels. Researchers prepare luminescent materials doped with rare earth elements, measure the absorption spectra, excitation spectra and emission spectra of the materials. According to these data, the quantum efficiency of luminescent materials was calculated. The Tb3 +-Yb3 + ion pair drawed people’s attention. Upon excitation of Tb3 + ion with a ultraviolet-visible photon, Yb3 + ion can emit two near-infrared photons around 1000 nm through cooperative energy transfer from Tb3 + ion to Yb3 + ion. The near-infrared photons can be absorbed by silicon solar cells. The quantum efficiency varies from concentration of Tb3 + /Yb3 + ions as well as the matrix of material..

The calculated result shows that the two-photon absorption region reduces with the decrease of laser wavelength. Femtosecond laser sources with visible wavelengths were employed to perform the two-photon polymerization fabrication, and the fabrication resolution and threshold were analyzed. The experimental results indicate that lower photon flux density leads to the improvement of fabrication resolution. The decrease of laser wavelength causes the two-photon transition to meet near resonance transition condition gradually, which further increases the two-photon transition probability and reduces the fabrication threshold..
