Article Abstract
It is in great demand to discover new materials with large birefringence for the miniaturization of optical communication devices. In this work, a new one-dimensional hybrid halide perovskite, (C N H )Pb Br , is obtained successfully through structural design of dimension reduction from the notable three-dimensional halide perovskite CsPbBr . Remarkably, (C N H )Pb Br exhibits a significantly enhanced birefringence of ∆n = 0.42@550 nm, which is the largest among halide perovskites so far. Furthermore, its birefringence performance is robust in a wide temperature range of 300-440 K. Theoretical calculations reveal that this outstanding birefringence results from the synergistic effect of [PbBr ] octahedra and [C N H ] cations with expanding π-delocation. According to further structural analyses, the structural dimension reduction cooperating with the increase of [PbBr ] octahedral distortion leads to the enhanced birefringence. This work uncovers the great promise of hybrid halide perovskites as robust birefringent crystals in future optical communication and would shed useful insights on the design and synthesis of new birefringent crystals.

Introduction: Alzheimer's disease (AD) and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) are tauopathies with gray matter (GM) myelin changes that are challenging to assess with standard imaging. New methods are needed to quantify myelin integrity in autopsy brain tissues.
Methods: We used polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) to measure bulk tissue relative retardance and birefringence microscopy for high-resolution imaging of myelin degradation.

The integration of 2D materials with optical fibers enables multifunctional fiber devices, such as polarizers, modulators, and sensors. Recent advances in direct vapor deposition growth further enhance light-2D material interactions to centimeter-scale lengths, overcoming the micrometer-scale limitations of transferred 2D materials. However, conventional methods for growing 2D materials in fibers typically produce isotropic material architectures due to uniform precursor deposition, limiting applications that require birefringence, such as a phase retarder.

There is an immediate demand for identifying birefringent materials that possess substantial optical anisotropy to meet the requirements of photonic applications. Optimizing the orientation of functional modules to achieve enormous anisotropy is essential for enhancing the linear optical properties of birefringent materials. In this research, the arrangement of anionic groups was regulated by the hydrogen bonds formed between group (CNH) and (HCNS) groups, and coupled with the synergistic effect of the repulsive force between the same groups, this resulted in the design and synthesis of the first metal-free trithiocyanurate ultraviolet (UV) birefringent crystal (CNH)HCNS.

An optical vortex beam has attracted significant attention across diverse applications, including optical manipulation, phase-contrast microscopy, optical communication, and quantum photonics. To utilize vortex generators for integrated photonics, researchers have developed ultra-compact vortex generators using fork gratings, metasurfaces, and integrated microcombs. However, those devices depend on costly, time-consuming nanofabrication and are constrained by the low signal-to-noise ratio due to the fabrication error.

Such a device will enable polarization optical isolation which, in the first approximation, will be insensitive to the small perturbations of permittivity, leading to linear birefringence in the magneto-optical element. This approach is promising for isolators for short-wave radiation, powerful radiation, large-aperture isolators, as well as for isolators with high requirements for the isolation ratio.
