Azobenzene's Cross‐Scale Optics and Photonics: Molecular Photoswitching, Mesoscopic Material Motions, and Adaptive Devices

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Azobenzene photoswitches translate molecular‐scale E/Z photoisomerization into macroscopic material responses and device‐level photonic functions. This Review highlights how azobenzene research has evolved from molecular photochemistry to photoalignment, mass migration, photomechanics, and heat release, ultimately enabling holography, reconfigurable ...

Full‐Stokes Polarimetry Metasurface‐Enabled Single‐Shot Measurement of the Spin Hall Effect of Light

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a metasurface‐enabled approach to measure the spin Hall effect of light in a single‐shot. The metasurface splits a reflected light into six polarization‐dependent focal spots, allowing all Stokes parameters to be obtained from single image.

Two‐Dimensional Isotropic Spatial Differentiation Through Complete Polarization Control

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
This work enables two‐dimensional isotropic spatial differentiation at planar interfaces over a wide range of incident angles by extending the output polarization from linear to elliptical. The choice of incident angle can be used to balance broader spectral response at low angles and higher edge‐detection efficiency at larger angles.
