Highly Efficient Graphene-Based Optical Modulator With Edge Plasmonic Effect

open access: yesIEEE Photonics Journal, 2018
We report a highly efficient graphene-based modulator by using an edge plasmonic effect in this paper. The modulation efficiency of the proposed modulator can be as large as 1.58 dB/μm, which is several times larger than that of previous ...

Knitting Shape‐Memory Alloy Wires for Riding a Robot: Constraint Matters for the Curvilinear Actuation

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, 2022
To allow a linear one‐way shape‐memory alloy (SMA) wire to have a deterministic curvilinear two‐way actuation, the SMA wire can be bonded on a curved substrate or prestrained soft materials to create mismatched SMA‐wire composites.
