Since the invention of inverse vulcanization and high sulfur content polymers, termed
Chalcogenide Hybrid Inorganic/Organic Polymers, the application of these polymers as …

The development of the information technology and, very recently, of new application
scenarios like Internet of Things (IoT) and Industry 4.0 has pushed the research towards new …

Conventional electronic and photonic devices are inherently 2D and rigid because of the
substrates on which they are fabricated. However, the world is not flat and stiff: There are …

Optical polymer‐based integrated photonic devices are gaining interest for applications in
optical packaging, biosensing, and augmented/virtual reality (AR/VR). The low refractive …

Laser Doppler vibrometry (LDV) is a non-contact vibration measurement technique based
on the Doppler effect of the reflected laser beam. Thanks to its feature of high resolution and …

In this paper, we design and demonstrate polymer-based polarization beam splitters
realized with parabolic graded-index (GI) directional couplers at 1550 nm. We design and …

Photonic mechanical sensors offer several advantages over their electronic counterparts,
including immunity to electromagnetic interference, increased sensitivity, and measurement …

Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) have long been considered as disruptive platforms that
revolutionize optics. Building on the mature industrial foundry infrastructure for electronic …

Temperature measurements are of great importance in many fields of human activities,
including industry, technology, and science. For example, obtaining a certain temperature …

We investigated the roughness-induced scattering loss (LossR) of small-core polymer
waveguides fabricated using the photolithography method, both theoretically and …
