Abstract

Tunable optical devices are of great interest as they offer adjustability to their functions. Temporal optics is a fast-evolving field, which may be useful both for revolutionizing basic research of time-dependent phenomena and for developing full optical devices. With increasing focus on ecological compatibility, bio-friendly alternatives are a key subject matter. Water in its various forms can open up new physical phenomena and unique applications in photonics and modern electronics. Water droplets freezing on cold surfaces are ubiquitous in nature. We propose and demonstrate the effectual generation of time domain self-bending photonic hook (time–PH) beams by using mesoscale freezing water droplet. The PH light bends near the shadow surface of the droplet into large curvature and angles superior to a conventional Airy beam. The key properties of the time–PH (length, curvature, beam waist) can be modified flexibly by changing the positions and curvature of the water–ice interface inside the droplet. Due to the modifying internal structure of freezing water droplets in real time, we showcase the dynamical curvature and trajectory control of the time–PH beams. Compared with the traditional methods, our phase-change- based materials (water and ice) of the mesoscale droplet have advantages of easy fabrication, natural materials, compact structure and low cost. Such PHs may have applications in many fields, including temporal optics and optical switching, microscopy, sensors, materials processing, nonlinear optics, biomedicine, and so on.
