Thin‐Metal‐Film‐Based Transparent Conductors: Material Preparation, Optical Design, and Device Applications (Advanced Optical Materials 3/2021)

Emerging Optical CDMA Techniques and Applications

In this paper we present an in-depth review on the trends and the directions taken by the researchers worldwide in Optical Code Division Multiple Access (OCDMA) systems. We highlight those trends and features that are believed to be essential to the successful introduction of various OCDMA techniques in communication systems and data networks in near future. In particular we begin by giving a c...

Novel Optical Device Materials – Molecular-Level Hybridization

Preparation and Optical Properties of Infrared Transparent 3Y-TZP Ceramics

In the present study, a tough tetragonal zirconia polycrystalline (Y-TZP) material was developed for use in high-speed infrared windows and domes. The influence of the preparation procedure and the microstructure on the material's optical properties was evaluated by SEM and FT-IR spectroscopy. It was revealed that a high transmittance up to 77% in the three- to five-micrometer IR region could b...

Transparent EuTiO3 films: a possible two-dimensional magneto-optical device

The magneto-optical activity of high quality transparent thin films of insulating EuTiO3 (ETO) deposited on a thin SrTiO3 (STO) substrate, both being non-magnetic materials, are demonstrated to be a versatile tool for light modulation. The operating temperature is close to room temperature and allows for multiple device engineering. By using small magnetic fields birefringence of the samples ca...
