Elasticity‐Driven Periodic Polarization Patterns in a Chiral Ferroelectric Nematic Fluid

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Chiral polar ferroelectric nematic fluids exhibit spontaneous formation of stripe, square, and hexagonal polarization textures under confinement. Controlled by thickness and anchoring, these patterns produce spatially modulated nonlinear optical responses.

Microscale 3D‐Printed Digital Strain Switches for Embedded Mechanical Computation

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Microscale 3D‐printed strain switches on flexible films convert deformation into native digital signals at geometry defined thresholds. A closed form model predicts switching from 3000 to 15 000 microstrain and is validated across 110 devices. Reliable ohmic closure and strain activated AND, OR, and XOR logic point toward low‐power mechanical ...

Fabrication of rGO-GO Long Period Fiber Grating Using Laser Reduction Method

IEEE Photonics Journal, 2017
A laser-reduction technique is investigated to fabricate a novel long period fiber grating (LPFG), whose period is a section of graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) films on a side polished fiber.

Strong long-period fiber gratings recorded at 352?nm [PDF]

Optics Letters, 2005
We describe long-period grating inscription in hydrogenated telecom fibers by use of high-intensity femtosecond 352 nm laser pulses. We show that this technique allows us to fabricate high-quality 30 dB gratings of 300 microm period and 2 cm length by use of a three-photon absorption mechanism.

Large‐Area Flat Optics Color Routing in Tilted Arrays of 2D Semiconductor Nanostripes

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
We develop a scalable flat optics platform exploiting self‐organised ion‐beam sputtering and maskless glancing‐angle deposition to fabricate centimetre‐scale arrays of tilted MoS2 nanostripes. The engineered geometry activates Rayleigh anomalies, guided modes, and Mie resonances, enabling highly directional color routing and enhanced light harvesting ...

Hybridization of Gap Plasmons and Grating‐Coupled Surface Plasmon Polaritons in Metal Nanoparticle Cluster Arrays on a Mirror

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Here we use a template‐assisted self‐assembly approach of metal colloids onto metal films to produce hybrid plasmonic metasurfaces that integrate nanoparticle‐on‐mirror cavities with periodic metal colloid arrays. The resulting coupling between gap plasmons and grating‐coupled surface plasmon polaritons enables programmable hybrid modes with tailored ...

Biosensing with optical fiber gratings

Nanophotonics, 2017
Optical fiber gratings (OFGs), especially long-period gratings (LPGs) and etched or tilted fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs), are playing an increasing role in the chemical and biochemical sensing based on the measurement of a surface refractive index (RI ...

Long period grating resonances in photonic bandgap fiber

Optics Express, 2006
We demonstrate the formation of stress-induced long period gratings (LPGs) in fluid-filled photonic bandgap fiber (PBGF). Based on our experimental results, simulations, and theoretical understanding of LPGs, we identify coupling to a guided LP(11)-like mode of the core and lossy LP1x-like modes of cladding microstructure for a single grating period ...

Response of a fibre optic long period grating operating at the phase matching turning point to the deposition of a nanostructured coating [PDF]

, 2009
The response of the transmission spectrum of a fibre optic long period grating operating near the phase matching turning point to the deposition of a nanostructured coating is investigated.

Understanding Inhomogeneous Crystallization Dynamics of Phase‐Change Materials in the Vicinity of Metallic Nanoantennas

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Metallic dimer antennas on top of the phase‐change material Ge3Sb2Te6 are addressed with laser pulses, resulting in inhomogeneous crystallization. A self‐consistent multiphysics model is employed to simulate the crystallization and to understand the resulting shift of the antenna resonance.
