Directional Whispering Gallery Mode in Microring Lasers Enabled by Tilted Azimuthal Gratings

Advanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.
The chiral light propagation in microring lasers with active cladding, enabled by tilted azimuthal gratings, is illustrated. The symmetry of the whispering gallery mode is disrupted due to scattering losses that are determined by the tilted angle, resulting in distinct clockwise and counterclockwise light propagation, and enabling controlled chirality ...

Optical Wireless Communications with Metasurfaces: Current Status and Potential for Intelligent Communications

Advanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.
Optical wireless communications (OWCs) provide a promising alternative to spectrum‐congested microwave wireless communications. Recently, the use of metasurfaces with sub‐wavelength features for dynamic beam steering, beam manipulation, and spatial or optical‐angular‐momentum mode generation, conversion, and multiplexing in OWCs is proposed and ...

Switchable Terahertz Beam Steering with Near‐Perfect Ordinary Transmission

Advanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.
This study introduces a reconfigurable metasurface that enables switchable terahertz beam steering upon actuation by a global temperature change. At room temperature, it achieves a true “OFF” state with nearly 100% transmission, behaving as if the metasurface is not present, thereby not distorting incoming light.

Low‐Strain Flexible Ink‐Based Sensors Enable Hyperelastic Inflation Perception Via Geometric Patterning for Balloon‐Type Robots

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Integrating proprioceptive capabilities in balloon‐type robots enhances safe human–machine interactions. Traditional pressure estimates are inadequate due to nonlinear relationships. Instead, embedding stretchable sensors effectively measures deformation. This design optimizes sensor geometry to minimize damage risks.

Bleeding‐Mimetic Damage‐Detecting and Self‐Healing Modular Skin for Inflatable Structures

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A damage‐detecting and self‐healing system inspired by the human bleeding mechanism is developed for inflatable structures, using a liquid conductive elastomeric material enclosed in a small pouch. This material, composed of uncured elastomer, its curing agent, conductive particles, and a dispersant, solidifies only after being exposed to air and ...
