Programmable microfluidic devices covering visible and IR spectra
The capability of certain animals to change appearance serves multiple functions in physiological behaviors such as predation and self-preservation. This ability has fascinated humans for centuries and inspired the development of camouflage materials and devices. Currently, materials such as plasmonic nanodot arrays, responsive photonic crystals, and multilayer thermo-chromic liquid crystals have been designed to selectively reflect light in the visible spectrum to change its

Antireflection Design of DFB Laser
InnoLight has launched a high-power anti-reflection laser. InnoLight's CW high-power laser chip can reach 100mW optical power. We put InnoLight’s lasers and other peers’ lasers into the same coordinate system for comparison as shown in the figure below. The PI curve given by InnoLight is the data at 25°C. According to this data, the electro-optical efficiency of the linear segment is about 29%, the efficiency of the two Lumentum designs at room temperature is about 40%, and t
