High refractive index polymers (HRIPs) are essential for manufacturing modern optoelectronic devices, including displays and light sensors. However, high-performance HRIPs are expensive and ...
Metamaterial absorbers exploit artificially structured surfaces to achieve near-perfect absorption of electromagnetic waves at designed frequencies. By tuning the geometry, material composition and ...
A new nanomaterial of minuscule gold rods embedded in glass manipulates light passing through it like no naturally occurring substance (Opt. Lett. 2005, 30, 3356). Potential payoffs, say the Purdue ...
Photo-thermo-refractive (PTR) glass is a photosensitive multi-component silicate matrix incorporating halides and metal dopants. Upon exposure to ultraviolet or ultrafast laser light and subsequent ...
