Gate‐Tunable Floquet Weyl Photon Emission from Topological Dirac Semimetal Cd3As2

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We report experimental demonstration of Floquet band engineering in a 3D Dirac semimetal. Circularly polarized light breaks the time reversal symmetry and transforms Cd3As2 into a Floquet–Weyl phase, splitting Dirac nodes into chirality‐opposite Weyl nodes with nonzero Berry curvature.

Monitoring the Etching Process of Hi-Bi Fiber Through a Fiber Loop Mirror

IEEE Photonics Journal, 2017
A method for monitoring the etching process of Hi-Bi fiber is proposed and demonstrated. The birefringence of the etching fiber is accurately calculated by tracking the shift of the interference spectrum in a high-birefringence fiber loop mirror ...

Clustomesogen Showing Sub‐Zero Liquid Crystal Properties: Supramolecular Assembly Between Cs2[Mo6Ii8(OCOC2F5)6] and Hexaethylenoxide Containing Mesogenic Dimers

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Associating a red‐NIR phosphorescent octahedral hexanuclear molybdenum cluster compound with hexaethyleneoxide chains bearing mesogenic units on both ends leads to an emissive hybrid liquid crystal showing mesomorphism on a very unusual temperature range down to −25°C.

High Frequency Modulation Method for Measuring of Birefringence

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
A method of optical birefringence measurement is presented. It uses an el ectro-optic modulator for the high frequency modulation of polarization of the laser beam. The developed optical apparatus exhibits high sensitivity.

Electrically Tunable Heliconical Smectic Superstructure in Polar Fluids

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Strong dipole–dipole interactions give rise to an emergent polar smectic phase with spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking. This resulting polar heliconical smectic superstructure enables novel functionalities in polar fluids, such as color modulation driven by electric field strength and frequency, as well as second‐harmonic generation amplification ...

Low Loss and High Polarization-Maintaining Single-Mode Hollow-Core Anti-Resonant Fibers with S+C+L+U Communication Bands

Photonics
In this paper, a low loss and high polarization-maintaining single-mode hollow-core anti-resonant fiber (PM-HC-ARF) is designed. The elliptical core in the PM-HC-ARF is formed by strategically enlarging selected cladding air holes along the y-axis ...

Solvent‐Guided Chiral Assemblies and Chemical Doping of OEG‐Functionalized Conjugated Polymers

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Solvent‐dependent aggregation pathways dictate whether conjugated polymers form chiral lyotropic liquid‐crystalline assemblies or achiral packed aggregates. Mapping solvent‐controlled β₁ and β2 states reveals that weaker backbone association favors β₁ aggregates and reorganizable twisted mesophases, whereas stronger backbone association favors β2 ...

Highly birefringent, low-loss liquid crystals for terahertz applications

APL Materials, 2013
With growing interest in switchable devices for the THz frequency range, there is a strong demand for liquid crystals (LC) exhibiting both a high birefringence and a low absorption. We present the refractive index and absorption coefficient of the liquid
