Hybrid structure hollow-core anti-resonant fiber with low confinement loss at 1550 nm and high birefringence in the C-band

Results in Physics
This study proposes a hollow-core anti-resonant fiber with a hybrid nested cladding structure, aimed at achieving high birefringence, broad bandwidth, and low confinement loss. The proposed fiber has a three-layer nested ring structure in the x-direction

Ionic Gating of Liquid‐Crystal‐Like Pteridine Assemblies Enables Tunable Light Scattering

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Tunable optical properties emerge through developmentally regulated ionic gating, which transforms disordered, ultraviolet (UV)‐absorbing organelles into concentrically ordered, liquid‐crystal‐like light scatterers. By integrating analyses of pteridine composition, potassium‐dependent assembly, hierarchical ultrastructure, and optical behavior, the ...

High birefringence and low viscosity negative dielectric anisotropy liquid crystals

, 2008
We have synthesised and evaluated the physical properties of some high birefringence, lateral difluoro-terphenyl compounds and mixtures. These mixtures exhibit a high birefringence (n0.24) in the visible spectral range and a relatively low viscosity ...

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 ...

Epitaxially Integrated Electro‐Optic KNbO3 Thin Films on Silicon

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We demonstrate the first epitaxial integration of electro‐optic KNbO3 thin films on silicon using suboxide molecular‐beam epitaxy. Combining adsorption‐controlled molecular‐beam epitaxy, advanced characterization, and phase‐field modeling, we demonstrate phase‐pure crystalline films mirroring bulk crystals with robust Pockels response, enabling future ...

Fabrication of Aligned Polycaprolactone Nanofibrillar Bundles to Control Cell‐Mediated Collagen Deposition in Engineered Cartilage

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Melt electrofibrillation (MEF) enables the fabrication of nanofibrillar PCL scaffolds with defined architectures that guide cellular alignment and retention during cartilage tissue engineering. Unlike conventional melt electrowriting, MEF consistently directs collagen type II‐rich extracellular matrix organization, providing a tunable platform to ...

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 ...

Liquid‐Crystal‐Based Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface for 7 GHz Mobile Communication

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
The glass‐based liquid‐crystal reconfigurable intelligent surface (LC‐RIS) integrates active‐matrix driving and blind‐greedy phase optimization within a 5G‐NR OFDM framework. This enables continuously tunable and autonomous enhancement of wireless coverage. Leveraging the transparency and manufacturability of liquid crystal panels, it is ideally suited
