OAM generation, tunable metamaterials and sensors with highly deformable fibers
Published 2018A flexible fiber-drawn material, i.e. polyurethane, allows for novel applications from THz to the visible. We exploit its elastic properties to generate orbital angular momentum modes, to make pressure sensors and to ...Open AccessConference paper -
Multimaterial and Flexible Devices Made by Fiber Drawing
Published 2020The ability to co-process different materials at the same time in a thermal process opens up the possibility of scalable fabrication of volumetric multimaterial and multifunctional devices with operation spanning from the ...Open AccessConference paper -
Deformable wire array: fiber drawn tunable metamaterials
Published 2017By fiber drawing we fabricate a wire array metamaterial, the structure of which can be actively modified. The plasma frequency can be tuned by 50% by compressing the metamaterial; recovers when released and the process can ...Open AccessConference paper -
Measurement of weak low frequency pressure signal using stretchable polyurethane fiber sensor for application in wearables
Published 2017The practical realization of low Young’s modulus Polyurethane (PU) based optical fibers offers new possibilities for sensing on bodies due to its bio-compatibility and high material sensitivity. Here, we experimentally ...Open AccessConference paper -
Tunable Metamaterials Fabricated by Fiber Drawing
Published 2017We demonstrate a practical scalable approach to the fabrication of tunable metamaterials. Designed for terahertz (THz) wavelengths, the metamaterial is comprised of polyurethane filled with an array of indium wires using ...Open AccessArticle
