Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) can deliver unparalleled performance for future neuromorphic computing applications. Such neuromorphic PICs require a large number of tunable switches, which are typically realized with current‐controlled heaters, resulting in considerable energy consumption.

Thermo‐Derived Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Elastomer Pattern with Composite Structural Colors
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.A thermochromic cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) oligomer was synthesized for the preparation of CLC elastomer (CLCE) films with dual reflection bands. Subsequently, a CLCE pattern with composite structural colors was prepared, which was suitably applied for decoration and anti‐counterfeiting.

High-Order Modes Micro-Knot Excited by a Long-Period Fiber Grating
Sensors, 2017 We suggest a fiber micro-knot fabricated on a long-period fiber grating. The long-period fiber grating excites high-order modes into the micro-knot and transfers the output back to the Gaussian mode.
