All-dielectric metasurfaces offer unconventional optical functional behaviors for manipulating light, due to the strong localization of light with negligible dissipative loss. Here, we propose a compact design for a light emission cavity consist of an all-dielectric grating reflector and an all-diel...

Aluminum nitride (AlN) is an emerging platform for a wide range of on-chip applications. One promising feature is that both the second- and third-order nonlinearities are available in crystalline AlN waveguides. We design an AlN slot waveguide with a flat and low dispersion over an ultrawide spectra...
