Waveguide Photoactuators: Materials, Fabrication, and Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Waveguide photoactuators convert guided light into mechanical motion. Their tethered‐flexible design enables minimally invasive surgery and confined‐space robotics. This review aims to guide materials selection, device design, and system integration, accelerating the transition of waveguide photoactuators from laboratory prototypes to versatile ...

Photonic molecules in photonic crystals

open access: yesPhotonic molecules in photonic crystals
post print We propose a photonic molecule consisting of multiple nanocavities in a photonic crystal and demonstrate its lasing and modal characteristics by finite-difference time-domain analysis and by experiments. In the analysis, we show that a point-shift defect and a point-missing defect have s- and p-orbital cavity modes, respectively, and that ...

Liquid Crystalline Elastomers in Soft Robotics: Assessing Promise and Limitations

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Liquid crystalline elastomers (LCEs) are programmable soft materials that undergo large, anisotropic deformation in response to external stimuli. Their molecular alignment encodes directional actuation in a monolithic structure, making them long‐standing candidates for soft robotic systems.
