Circularly polarized light (CPL) detection is crucial for optical communication, bioimaging and quantum computing. However, CPL detectors based on chiral low-dimensional perovskites face a trade-off between optoelectronic performance and CPL discrimination, and typically exhibit a CPL response within a narrow spectral range. Here, we overcome these limitations by...

However, to limit the damage to EGaIn anodes resulting from volume expansion during lithiation and delithiation, chemical modifications are required to stabilize the liquid m...
Continue readingLiquid crystals (LCs) are widely recognized for unique physical and optical properties and remarkable ability to modulate light beams. Traditional methods for actuating LCs by electric fields rely on the use of metallic electrodes, which face limitations in the spatial resolution of LCs actuation and their effective integration into optofluidic devices. In this wor...
