Enhanced laser action from smart fabrics made with rollable hyperbolic metamaterials

Abstract Rollable photonic devices that can adapt to freeform surfaces with reduced dimensions while maintaining their original functionalities are highly desirable. Among photonic devices, metamaterials with hyperbolic dispersion in momentum space, defined as hyperbolic metamaterial (HMM), possess...
