All‐Optically Driven Optofluidic Light Modulator

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
In this work, an all‐optically driven optofluidic light modulator is developed, based on the optical actuation of waveguided beams by liquid crystals confined in a microfluidic channel. The photovoltaic effect in lithium niobate is employed to control the alignment of the liquid crystal in the microfluidic channel underneath by a light‐induced electric

Chemical AI in the Limelight: The Contribution of Photochromic Materials and Oscillatory Chemical Reactions

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Photochromic compounds are versatile ingredients for the development of Chemical AI. When they are embedded in a tight microenvironment, they become Markov blankets. They are also valuable for processing Boolean and Fuzzy logic. They contribute to neuromorphic engineering in wetware based on opto‐chemical signals exchanged with oscillatory chemical ...

Optical Properties of Thin Films of Tin Iodide Perovskite Nanostructures

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
A comprehensive spectroscopic study of thin films of 3D CsSnI3 nanocrystals (NCs) that coexist with residual 2D Ruddlesden‐Popper nanosheets (NSs) has been performed. Polymer encapsulation enables solid‐state stabilization of the tin iodide perovskite nanostructures, while insight into the energetics and dynamics of the NC and NS excitons is provided ...

Anisotropic Laser Performance in an Optically Isotropic Crystal by Phonon Engineering

open access: yesAdvanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.
The symmetry‐breaking in a photon–phonon collaboratively pumped laser is investigated for the first time. Using an optically isotropic Nd:YAG crystal, the phonon‐assisted electronic transitions accompanied by anisotropic fluorescence emission are observed.

Spherical and Aspherical Lenses for Boosting the Performance of Terahertz Imaging Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.
This study investigates the enhancement of terahertz (THz) detection through the terajet effect using mesoscale dielectric lenses of various geometries. Spherical, aspherical, and cubic polytetrafluoroethylene lenses are evaluated at 0.15 and 0.3 THz, demonstrating significant improvements in responsivity and noise reduction.

Functional Optical Fibers with Tailored Side Emission from Modified Rod‐in‐Tube Preforms

open access: yesAdvanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.
A modified rod‐in‐tube method enables fabrication of functional optical fibers with tailored light‐diffusing properties. The approach incorporates optically active species at a well‐defined radial position within an otherwise homogeneous fiber core. Using lanthanide ions and noble metal nanoparticles as active species demonstrates wavelength conversion
