We demonstrate an electrically biased reconfigurable chiral metasurface for controlling the polarization conversion and asymmetric transmission in a broadband manner. The reconfigurable metasurface is constructed with coupled three-layer complementary split-ring resonator (CSRR) arrays and is loaded with tunable electronic components to achieve dynamic control of reconfigurable chiral coupling in the CSRRs by simply tuning the external voltage on the structure. It is found that the polarization conversion in the metasurface can be effectively and continuously tuned in both experiments and simulations in a broadband frequency range. Meanwhile, the reconfigurable metasurface shows an asymmetric transmission (AT) effect in a broadband range for a polarized wave. The proposed reconfigurable chiral metasurface based on the active tuning of connection in the meta-structure with few functional layers is confirmed as an effective strategy for multi-functional polarization manipulation. The reported broadband properties of the chiral metasurface are promising for polarization manipulation in optical bands and applications in wireless communication.

Physical unclonable functions (PUFs), often referred to as digital fingerprints, are emerging as critical elements in enhancing hardware security and encryption. While significant progress has been made in developing optical and memory-based PUFs, integrating reconfigurability with sensitivity to circularly polarized light (CPL) remains largely unexplored. Here, we present a chiroptical synaptic memristor (CSM) as a reconfigurable PUF, leveraging a two-dimensional organic-inorganic halide chiral perovskite.

Electrically switchable second harmonic generation (SHG) is highly valuable in electro-optic modulators, which can be deployed in data communication and quantum optics. Coupling circular dichroism (CD) with an electrically controlled SHG process is advantageous because it enhances the signal transmission bandwidth and security while enabling multiple modulation modes for optical logic. However, ferroelectrically switchable chiral second-order nonlinearity is rarely reported.

Modern detection technology has driven camouflage technology toward multispectral compatibility and dynamic regulation. However, developing such stealth technologies is challenging due to different frequency-band principles. Here, this work proposes a design concept for a fluid-actuated multispectral compatible smart stealth device that employs a deformable mechanochromic layer/elastomer with a channeled dielectric layer.

Article Synopsis
- - 2D hybrid perovskites (HPs) show promise for high-performance X-ray detection due to their strong ability to absorb radiation and adaptable structures, but improvements in detection capabilities are still needed.
- - The study investigates how modifying the organic spacer layer in two types of 2D layered HPs, specifically through alternating cation intercalation (ACI), influences their X-ray detection performance.
- - The findings reveal that structural changes, like adding ethylammonium (EA), enhance carrier transport and X-ray absorption, allowing for better detection performance, including self-driving detectors with a remarkably low detection limit.

Blue phase liquid crystals (BPLCs) are chiral self-assembled three-dimensional (3D) periodic structures which have attracted a lot of attention due to their electro-optical properties, relevant for tunable soft photonic crystals and fast-response displays. However, to realize this application potential, controlling the BPLC alignment at the surfaces is crucial, and one way to obtain the desired alignment is by photoalignment patterning. In this article, monodomain BPLC samples with controlled orientation are achieved by imposing different alignment patterns that have a periodicity that is compatible with the size of the BPLC unit cell, using two-step photoalignment with polarized ultraviolet (UV) light.
