Laser‐induced graphene (LIG) on a colorless polyimide (CPI) substrate functions as both an electrical heater and a heat spreader, enabling rapid electro‐thermo‐optic actuation. The system achieves reflective beam scanning up to 2 kHz and diffractive beam steering with 0.5‐millidegree resolution and a 0.9 s response time, showcasing LIG‐CPI as a soft ...

Functional Optical Fibers with Tailored Side Emission from Modified Rod‐in‐Tube Preforms
A modified rod‐in‐tube method enables fabrication of functional optical fibers with tailored light‐diffusing properties. The approach incorporates optically active species at a well‐defined radial position within an otherwise homogeneous fiber core. Using lanthanide ions and noble metal nanoparticles as active species demonstrates wavelength conversion

Abstract A strategy for the immobilization of Johnston's Mono(AMidine) catalyst (MAM) onto polystyrene, silica and hybrid silica‐polystyrene nanoparticles is presented. The catalyst activity was evaluated in the stereoselective aza‐Henry reaction leading to the pivotal β‐amino nitroalkane precursors of the anti‐cancer agents Nutlins (with Nutlin‐3a as ...
