In this paper we review the state of the art in the field of liquid-crystal tunable guided-wave
photonic devices, a unique type of fill-once, molecular-level actuated, optofluidic systems …

A new biophotonic sensor based on photonic crystal (PC) has been designed for the
detection of creatinine concentration in blood, and is considered an important small …

An electrically tunable negative permeability metamaterial consisting of a periodic array of
split ring resonators infiltrated with nematic liquid crystals is demonstrated. It shows that the …

Today, detecting processes of waterborne bacteria in drinking water is a global challenge
because these bacteria can lead to dangerous diseases to the human body. In this paper …

Topological insulators are materials that conduct on the surface and insulate in their interior
due to non-trivial topology of the band structure. The edge states on the interface between …

Covering numerous practical applications as yet not covered in any single source of
information, this monograph discusses the importance of viscous and elastic properties for …

Thermal tuning of phononic bandgaps in megahertz range was demonstrated in ferroelectric
ceramic-based phononic crystal structure. Temperature variation across ferroelectric phase …

Photonic crystal (PC) materials exhibit unique structural colors that originate from their
intrinsic photonic band gap. Because of their highly ordered structure and distinct optical …

Liquid crystal devices for photonics applications is a" hot topic" of research. This book
provides engineers, physicists, and designers with the most up-to-date descriptions of the …
