Multiple designs with broad applicability for enhancing birefringence in low-loss terahertz HC-ARF
Results in Physics, 2023 The use of hollow-core anti-resonant fiber (HC-ARF) as a transmission medium for the terahertz (THz) frequency range is attracting increasing attention from researchers. This paper introduces a low-loss, high birefringence anti-resonant fiber.

Chiral Phase Change Nanomaterials
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This work demonstrates reversible, non‐volatile phase transitions in chiral Ge2${\rm Ge}_2$Sb2${\rm Sb}_2$Te5${\rm Te}_5$ (GST) nanohelices for high‐speed optical modulation of chirality and dynamic control of the state of polarization (SOP). The chiral nanostructures are fabricated using a highly directional, wafer‐scale physical vapor deposition ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A dye‐based photoinitiator acting as a structure‐directing element, guides the formation of a cholesteric polymer network that behaves as a chirped photonic structure with dissipative chiral coupling. Photopolymerization freezes a depth‐dependent helical pitch, broadening the Bragg resonance spectrum.

Opportunities of Semiconducting Oxide Nanostructures as Advanced Luminescent Materials in Photonics
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.The review discusses the challenges of wide and ultrawide bandgap semiconducting oxides as a suitable material platform for photonics. They offer great versatility in terms of tuning microstructure, native defects, doping, anisotropy, and micro‐ and nano‐structuring. The review focuses on their light emission, light‐confinement in optical cavities, and

Long-Time Relaxation of Stress-Induced Birefringence of Microcrystalline Alkali Halide Crystals
Molecules, 2018 Alkali halide single crystals are most commonly used as the diluent matrix in the tablet method or disk technique for spectroscopic measurements. However, stress-induced birefringence (SIB) of alkali halides as well as intrinsic birefringence manifest ...

Tailoring chiral optical properties by femtosecond laser direct writing in silica
Light: Science & Applications, 2023 A two-layers model is proposed to reveal that femtosecond laser direct writing chirality inside silica glass has two contributions: a form birefringence and a stress related birefringence.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.We introduce a molecular strategy to assemble one‐dimensional (1D) materials into two‐dimensional (2D) van der Waals metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). Crystals of [FeX(pzX)(bpy)] (X = Cl, F) form anisotropic 2D layers that can be mechanically exfoliated into thin sheets.
