Stimuli‐Responsive Hydrogels for Optical Applications: Mechanisms, Architectures, and Translational Challenges

open access: yesAggregate, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
The review discusses stimuli‐responsive hydrogels as soft optical materials that translate physical, chemical, and biological cues into refractive‐index, scattering, birefringence, diffraction, and transparency changes. It examines major stimulus classes and photonic architectures for biosensing, waveguiding, adaptive lenses, smart windows, and therapy.

Low‐Dose Electron Total Scattering Analysis Resolves Non‐Crystalline Phase Separation in Polymer Semiconductors and Device Multilayers

open access: yesSmall Methods, Volume 10, Issue 11, 8 June 2026.
The performance of polymer blend semiconductors is governed by both the degree of phase separation and crystallization, but these two aspects have remained unresolved. We report methods for mapping amorphous‐amorphous as well as amorphous‐crystalline phase separation in polyfluorene‐based polymer blends using spatially resolved nanobeam electron total ...

A Novel Low-Power-Consumption All-Fiber-Optic Anemometer with Simple System Design

open access: yesSensors, 2017
A compact and low-power consuming fiber-optic anemometer based on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) coated tilted fiber Bragg grating (TFBG) is presented. TFBG as a near infrared in-fiber sensing element is able to excite a number of cladding modes

Fast and slow light in optical fibers through tilted fiber Bragg gratings

open access: yesOptics Express, 2009
In this paper, slow and fast light in optical fiber through tilted fiber Bragg grating (TFBG) are reported. The experimental results show the capability of TFBGs to enable group velocity control of an optical pulse in optical fiber, due to the anomalous dispersion features induced by the coupling between the propagating core mode and each counter ...
