Abstract

In hyperbolic two-dimensional (2D) materials, energy is channeled into their deep subwavelength polaritonic modes via four narrow beams. Here, we consider the launching of surface polaritons in hyperbolic 2D materials and demonstrate that efficient unidirectional excitation is possible with an elliptically polarized electric dipole, with the optimal choice of dipole ellipticity depending on the materials' optical constants. The selection rules afforded by the choice of dipole polarization allow turning off up to two beams, and even three if the dipole is placed close to an edge. This makes the dipole a directionally switchable beacon for the launching of subdiffractional polaritonic beams, a potential logical gate. We develop an analytical approximation of the excitation process which describes well the results of the numerical simulations and affords a simple physical interpretation.

Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
