LIDAR sensors are one of the key enabling technologies for the wide acceptance of autonomous driving implementations. Target identification is a requisite in image processing, informing decision making in complex scenarios. The polarization from the backscattered signal provides an unambiguous signature for common metallic car paints and can serve as one-point measurement for target classification. This provides additional redundant information for sensor fusion and greatly alleviates hardware requirements for intensive morphological image processing. Industry decision makers should consider polarization-coded LIDAR implementations. Governmental policy makers should consider maximizing the potential for polarization-coded material classification by enforcing appropriate regulatory legislation. Both initiatives will contribute to faster (safer, cheaper, and more widely available) advanced driver-assistance systems and autonomous functions. Polarization-coded material classification in automotive applications stems from the characteristic signature of the source of LIDAR backscattering: specular components preserve the degree of polarization while diffuse contributions are predominantly depolarizing.

Structurally colored fibers are attractive alternatives to chemically colored fibers due to their rich optical properties, color stability, and environmental friendliness. However, the fabrication of structurally colored fibers using cost-effective raw materials with the possibility to scale up remains challenging. Here, a simple and scalable approach is developed to fabricate continuous meter-long structurally colored fibers exhibiting brilliant structural colors across the visible spectrum and helix orientation-dependent polarization states.

Novel 2D materials with low-symmetry structures exhibit great potential applications in developing monolithic polarization-sensitive photodetectors with small volume. However, owing to the fact that at least half of them presented a small anisotropic factor of ≈2, comprehensive performance of present polarization-sensitive photodetectors based on 2D materials is still lower than the practical application requirements. Herein, a self-driven photodetector with high polarization sensitivity using a broken-gap ReSe/SnSe van der Waals heterojunction (vdWH) is demonstrated.
