Mitigating Singlet Exciton Back‐Transfer using 2D Spacer Layers for Perovskite‐Sensitised Upconversion

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
The efficiency of bulk perovskite‐sensitised upconversion is hindered by parasitic singlet back‐transfer. A 2D perovskite spacer layer is introduced to weaken this loss pathway by increasing the separation between the sensitiser and the emitter. The spacer layer enhances the upconversion efficiency at lower excitation powers and improves the stability ...

Probing Ultrafast Coherent Bandgap Modulation in Monolayer WSe2 by Nonlinear Optics

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
This work sheds light on how resonant nonlinear optics blursthe line between perturbative and non‐perturbative nonlinear optics. Measured deviationsfrom the quadratic second‐harmonic scaling near the excitonic resonance arisefrom optical Stark and Bloch‐Siegert shifts. The experimental results arefurther underpinned by analytical and numerical analysis

Vat Photopolymerized HEMA/HEA Hydrogels for Solvent‐Responsive Transparency and Optical Encryption

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Vat‐photopolymerized HEMA/HEA hydrogels exhibit reversible transparency‐opacity switching via hydration‐induced microphase separation and solvent exchange. The printed materials enable hydration sensing, optical encryption, and information storage, while maintaining high ductility and reversible rheology.

Tunable Patterned Blue Phase Liquid Crystals Based on Lithographic Process Technology

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
A patterned blue phase liquid crystal device with electrically driven, localized bistability is demonstrated using a cost‐efficient photolithographic dual‐alignment process. The device switches between a high‐contrast patterned state and a uniform reflective state.

Tunable Multifunctional Terahertz Coding Metasurface for Polarization Manipulation

open access: yesAdvanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.
Coding metasurfaces (CMs) offer versatile control over electromagnetic waves. Herein, a tunable multifunctional terahertz (THz) metasurface integrated with vanadium dioxide (VO2) is presented, enabling propagation‐phase manipulation of linearly polarized waves and hybrid‐phase control of circularly polarized waves.

Integration of Soft‐Robotics and Deep Learning to Assess the Coordinated Biosonar Emission and Reception Dynamics in Hipposiderid Bats

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Combining a biomimetic soft‐robot with deep‐learning data analytics sheds light on a unique peripheral dynamics seen in the biosonar system of bats: Bats modulate their ultrasonic biosonar signals upon emission as well as reception with variable, yet highly coordinated motion patterns of their noseleaves and pinnae.
