Team of Belgian researchers reports progress in developing first optical circuit that uses interconnections that are not only bendable, but also stretchable. Made of rubbery transparent material called PDMS, interconnections guide light along their path even when stretched up to 30% and when bent around an object the diameter of a human finger. Team describes its work in a paper published in The Optical Society’s open-access journal Optics Express.
