Abstract
Infrared (IR) stealth with thermal management is highly desirable in military applications and astronomy. However, developing selective IR emitters with properties suitable for IR stealth and thermal management is challenging. In this study, we present the theoretical framework for a selective emitter based on an inverse-designed metasurface for IR stealth with thermal management. The emitter comprises an inverse-designed gold grating, a Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) dielectric layer, and a gold reflective layer. The hat-like function, which describes an ideal thermal selective emitter, is involved in the inverse design algorithm. The emitter exhibits high performance in IR stealth with thermal management, with the low emissivity (ɛ3-5 µm =0.17; ɛ8-14 µm =0.16) for dual-band atmospheric transmission windows and high emissivity (ɛ5-8 µm =0.85) for non-atmospheric windows. Moreover, the proposed selective emitter can realize tunable control of thermal radiation in the wavelength range of 3-14 µm by changing the crystallization fraction of GST. In addition, the polarization-insensitive structure supports strong selective emission at large angles (60°). Thus, the selective emitter has potential for IR stealth, thermal imaging, and mid-infrared multifunctional equipment.

Abstract
Transient technology is deemed as a paramount breakthrough for its particular functionality that can be implemented at a specific time and then totally dissolved. Hyperbolic metamaterials (HMMs) with high wave-vector modes for negative refraction or with high photonic density of states to robustly enhance the quantum transformation efficiency represent one of the emerging key elements for generating not-yet realized optoelectronics devices. However, HMMs has not been explored for implementing in transient technology. Here we show the first attempt to integrate transient technology with HMMs, i.e., transient HMMs, composed of multilayers of water-soluble and bio-compatible polymer and metal. We demonstrate that our newly designed transient HMMs can also possess high-k modes and high photonic density of states, which enables to dramatically enhance the light emitter covered on top of HMMs. We show that these transient HMMs devices loss their functionalities after immersing into deionized water within 5 min. Moreover, when the transient HMMs are integrated with a flexible substrate, the device exhibits an excellent mechanical stability for more than 3000 bending cycles. We anticipate that the transient HMMs developed here can serve as a versatile platform to advance transient technology for a wide range of application, including solid state lighting, optical communication, and wearable optoelectronic devices, etc.

Abstract
A blueshift tunable metamaterial (MM) exhibiting a double-negative refractive index based on a topological insulator (bismuth selenide, Bi2Se3) has been demonstrated in the near-infrared (NIR) spectral region. The potential of Bi2Se3 as a dielectric interlayer of the multilayer MM is explored. The optical response of elliptical nanohole arrays penetrating through Au/Bi2Se3/Au films is numerically investigated using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. The blueshift tuning range of the MM is as high as 370 nm (from 2,140 to 1,770 nm) after switching the Bi2Se3 between its trigonal and orthorhombic states.

Abstract
Fano resonance (FR) within the transmission spectrum is demonstrated in the near infrared (NIR) region using elliptical nanoholes array (ENA) embedding through metal-dielectric-metal (MDM) layers. For the symmetric MDM-ENA, it has been shown that a FR can be excited by the normally incident light. This FR response is attributed to the interplay between the bright modes and dark modes, where the bright modes originate from the electric resonance (localized surface plasmon resonance) caused by the ENA and the dark modes are due to the magnetic resonance (inductive-capacitive resonance) induced by the MDM multilayers. Displacement of the elliptical nanoholes from their centers breaks the structural symmetry to excite a double FR as a result of the coherent interaction of the electric resonance with two splitting sub-magnetic resonances at different wavelengths. Moreover,the degree of the asymmetry allows for the tuning of the amplitude and bandwidth of the double FR window. The sensitivity to the slight variations of the dielectric environment has been calculated and yields a figure-of-merit of 0.8RIU(-1) for the symmetric MDM-ENA and 3.0RIU(-1) for the asymmetric MDM-ENA.
