Advanced Optical Materials is joining in the activities of the International Year of Light through publishing a special series of review articles.
Optics
Low-cost, large-area plasmonic perfect absorbers
Tunable, angle- and polarization independent absorber fabricated using a combination of colloidal lithography, with disordered arrangement, and dry-etching.
Investigating next generation LED materials
Research from a Canadian-German collaboration focuses on a next generation nitridolithoaluminate phosphor, SLA, as a breakthrough material.
Micro power meter can measure nanowire heat transfer
Researchers have developed a microscale powermeter that directly measures light absorption and heat transfer in individual nanowires.
Modified monolayer graphene interacts strongly with terahertz waves
Confining light into ultra-small metallic gaps dramatically boosts light interaction with graphene.
Electrically controllable metamaterial surfaces
Researchers have added to the development of next generation photonic media by realizing an electrically tunable liquid crystal-metamaterial hybrid.
Optical antennas for switchable holographic smart pixels
Researchers from University of Cambridge have proposed a new type of multi-functional pixel elements for next generation holographic display technologies.
