Abstract

Here I will report on optical fibers that are interfaced with dielectric nanostructures and demonstrate their capabilities on the examples of achromatic light focussing and optical trapping. Both topics involve implementation of nanostructures on fibers through 3D nanoprinting. This has allowed for (i) the realization of an achromatic metasurface-based lens interfaced to a SMF-28, used for wavelength- and polarization-independent light focussing across the entire telecommunication range, and for (ii) trapping microspheres and bacteria with only one single-mode fiber containing a nanoprinted holographic metalens with a record-high numerical aperture of 0.88.
