Soft optical composites for tunable transmittance

Soft optical composites for tunable transmittance

We introduce a soft composite that is actuated mechanically to achieve switchable and tunable optical transmittance. Our design comprises a series of parallel opaque platelets embedded into an optically clear silicone-based elastomer matrix. Under an applied shear loading, the platelets rotate, ther...
