Real‐Time Ferroelectric Domain Wall Dynamics During Electric Poling and Depoling

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Real‐time visualization of domain wall dynamics during alternating‐current poling, direct‐current poling, and electrical depoling in relaxor‐PT ferroelectric single crystals reveals distinct field‐dependent pathways and strong path dependence. Instant polarized light microscopy uncovers reversible domain wall nucleation, motion, and reconfiguration ...

Structural Colors from Modulated Topological Defects in Molecular Smectic Liquid Crystals

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Rather than using dyes and pigments, nature produces the colors of some butterflies and beetles through optical interference phenomena. This study describes an original biomimetic strategy exploiting the spontaneous formation of modulated linear defects in thin films of 8CB, a common molecular liquid crystal.

Electric Birefringence in Solutions of High Molecular Weight Ribonucleic Acid [PDF]

open access: yes, 1967
The electric birefringence of low ionic strength solutions of high molecular weight ribonucleic acids from various sources was studied. RNA preparations with a high helical content were found to have negative electric birefringence as a result of the ...

Thermal Control of Concentric Topographies Patterned by Dynamic Electro‐Templated Generated Chiral Solitonic Structures

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
An electro‐templating strategy directs the relaxation of cholesteric finger loops into discrete concentric rings whose geometry is electrically programmed. The photopolymerized structures retain the topological defect pattern and, upon heating, show reversible, castle‐like surface modulation.

Cooling-Rate Induced Fiber Birefringence Variation In Regenerated High Birefringent Fiber

open access: yes, 2015
In this paper, we have reported birefringence manipulation in regenerated high birefringent fiber Bragg grating (RPMG) by using CO2 laser annealing method. The results indicate that the birefringence of RPMG remains unchanged after CO2 laser annealing followed by slow cooling process, but reduced after fast cooling process (~5.6×10-5).

Giant Magneto‐Optical Effects in Two‐Dimensional Flat‐Band Antiferromagnets

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
RuOCl2${\rm RuOCl}{_2}$, a two‐dimensional antiferromagnet, hosts energy bands with pronounced directional flatness. This study demonstrates that the flat‐band‐induced optical transitions yield strongly anisotropic absorption and a record‐large magneto‐optical Schafer–Hubert effect, alongside exceptional linear dichroism exceeding 50%.

Spectral-Domain Measurements of Birefringence and Sensing Characteristics of a Side-Hole Microstructured Fiber

open access: yesSensors, 2013
We experimentally characterized a birefringent side-hole microstructured fiber in the visible wavelength region. The spectral dependence of the group and phase modal birefringence was measured using the methods of spectral interferometry. The phase modal

Efficient Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Waveguide Polarizing Splitters for High‐Sensitivity Chip‐Scale Atomic Magnetometry

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
An integrated polarimetry architecture based on a cholesteric liquid crystal waveguide polarization splitter overcomes the volumetric bottleneck in chip‐scale atomic magnetometers. By leveraging Bragg‐selective reflection and total‐internal‐reflection‐induced helicity inversion, this ultrathin device enables efficient circular polarization splitting ...
