Novel polymers for photonics | Light: Science & Applications

If you are unable to see the message below, click here to view.

The capabilities of polymers have grown explosively in the last decade, and an increasingly wide palette of these materials with ever-expanding functionality is now available to researchers in myriad fields. Photonics is no exception, and recent years have seen polymers creatively employed in very diverse optical applications. The LSA papers in this web focus provide three diverse examples: polymers for realization of photonic-molecule lasers; deformable lenses with tunable aberrations; and nanofibers which allow new opportunities for manipulation of light on the nanoscale. Polymeric photonic molecule super-mode lasers on silicon Tobias Grossmann, Tobias Wienhold, Uwe Bog, Torsten Beck, Christian Friedmann, Heinz Kalt and Timo Mappes   Elastomeric lenses with tunable astigmatism Peter Liebetraut, Sebastian Petsch, Jens Liebeskind and Hans Zappe   Functionalized polymer nanofibers Pan Wang, Yipei Wang and Limin Tong   Access the web focus on Novel polymers for photonics today!   Submit E-alerts Latest Research Top Ten   As a registered user of Nature Publishing Group's Web sites, our database indicates that you have opted-in to receive product information and special offers.
