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

Colloidal lithography is a low‐cost, simple and scalable technique to fabricate correlated‐disorder nanostructures for light‐trapping in solar cells. This work investigates the control of polystyrene particle distribution in colloidal lithography, highlighting the importance of particle surface functionalization as well as the ability to tune the ...

Grating Inscription Into Fluoride Fibers: A Review
First demonstrated over four decades ago, fiber gratings, and in particular fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs), have become indispensable and ubiquitous components within fiber laser cavities as well as optical communication networks and sensor systems. Because

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 ...

Sub‐Diffraction and Irreversibly Tunable Imaging With Potato Starch Lenses
Native potato starch granules function as sustainable birefringent microlenses that enable polarization‐controlled conventional and vortex lensing via spin‐to‐orbital angular momentum conversion. They provide sub‐diffraction and spiral‐contrast imaging, support vortex‐array generation with controllable topological‐charge sign, exhibit irreversible ...

3D‐Printing Aided Rapid Prototyping of Pretensioned Tensegrity Structures for Robotic Applications
Printing, injection molding, and assembly (PMA) is a method for rapid prototyping mesoscale, topologically complex, and tensioned tensegrity structures. In combination with PMA method, two mold design strategies: modular mold and compact channel layout, enable efficiency and scalability for tensegrity fabrication.

Ultrafast Optical Arbitrary-Order Differentiators Based on Apodized Long-Period Gratings
We propose a novel, optimized design for arbitrary-order optical differentiation based on a uniform-period especially apodized long-period fiber or waveguide grating (LPG) operated in transmission.
