Responsive Visible‐Wavelength Metasurfaces from Porous Silicon Based on Fano Guided‐Mode Resonance
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.The article introduces mesoporous silicon metasurfaces (pSi‐MS) supporting Fano guided‐mode resonances in the visible regime. By combining top‐down lithographic patterning of 2D gratings with bottom‐up electrochemical porosification, the approach realizes a new class of responsive metasurfaces, enabling highly sensitive and portable platforms for small

Beyond Brown: Lignin's Emerging Role in Structural Color
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.Lignin, long regarded as a brown industrial byproduct, is emerging as a sustainable platform for structural color. This Perspective highlights how lignin's refractive index, intrinsic absorption, and nanoscale assembly enable tunable photonic responses in colloidal and thin‐film architectures, and outlines design strategies to advance scalable, bio ...

Electrically Reconfigurable Nonvolatile Transmissive Metasurface in Visible
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.An electrically reconfigurable, non‐volatile metasurface operating in the visible spectrum is demonstrated using just 20 nm thick wide‐bandgap phase change material Sb2S3. On integration with a custom ultrathin silicon micro‐heater, the device achieves reversible switching with a 16 nm resonance tuning range at 610 nm, a wavelength largely under ...

Micromachined Double‐Membrane Mechanically Tunable Metamaterial for Thermal Infrared Filtering
Advanced Photonics Research, Volume 6, Issue 5, May 2025.Herein, a mechanically tunable double‐layer plasmonic metamaterial leveraging the extraordinary optical transmission effect observed in subwavelength arrays of openings within thin metal layers is presented. The concept is experimentally validated by integrating the proposed metamaterial structure into an electrostatic parallel‐plate actuator to create
