Viscoelasticity‐Induced Controllable Periodic Meso‐Textures of Liquid Crystal Polymers in Additive Manufacturing

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 32, 20 April 2026.
Viscoelasticity‐driven instabilities are harnessed to create tunable, periodic textures in 3D‐printed liquid crystalline polymers. This study illustrates how processing parameters control these spontaneous meso‐scale patterns. These unique structural architectures unlock new possibilities for functional devices, ranging from photonic components to ...

Deep‐UV Photonic Crystal Surface‐Emitting Lasers

Laser &Photonics Reviews, Volume 20, Issue 6, 18 March 2026.
The first deep‐UV photonic crystal surface‐emitting lasers (PCSELs) at 279 nm are demonstrated under pulsed optical pumping. The PCSELs have single‐mode emission with a 17‐pm linewidth and a divergence angle of less than 1∘$^{\circ }$. Experimental results highlight the impact of the filling factor choice on the lasing mode and the far‐field emission ...
