Summary

A silicon structure on the fiber end facet converted perturbed multimode output without pre-compensation.

Overlapping resonances and bound states in the continuum let the integrated nonlocal Huygens metasurface shape arbitrary speckle into vortex beams. The authors report robustness to fiber deformation in their optical tests.

Why it matters

A silicon structure on the fiber end facet converted perturbed multimode output without pre-compensation.

Limits and context

No additional limitation was separately recorded.
