A chirality switching device designed with transformation optics
Optics Express, 2010 Based on transformation optics theory, we designed a chirality switching device, such that an object hidden inside would exhibit a reversed chirality (i.e., from left-handedness to right-handedness) for an observer at the far field. Distinct from a perfect mirror which also creates a chirality-reversed image, our device makes the original object ...

Performance enhancement of a thin film tungsten oxide based solid-state electrochromic device
Materials Research ExpressElectrochromic devices for emissivity modulation hold immense promise for applications such as thermal management, dynamic optics, and radiative cooling. However, conventional all-solid-state electrochromic devices often suffer from slow switching speeds,
