    Abstract: An apparatus with either a graphene sheet or an epsilon-near-zero layer sandwiched in a waveguide structure and a tuning device. The tuning device is configured to selectively control application of at least first and second gate voltages across the waveguide structure. The graphene sheet has a first dielectric constant which is zero and the waveguide structure operates at a first absorption state and a first propagation distance with application of the first voltage by the tuning device and has a second dielectric constant and the waveguide structure operates at a second absorption state and a second propagation distance with application of the second voltage. The second dielectric constant is larger than the first dielectric constant, the second absorption state is smaller than the first absorption state, the second propagation distance is longer than the first propagation distance, and the second voltage which is zero or smaller than the first voltage.

    Abstract: A method for modifying the refractive index of an optical, hydrogel polymeric material. The method comprises irradiating predetermined regions of an optical, polymeric material with a laser to form refractive structures. To facilitate the formation of the refractive structures the optical, hydrogel polymeric material comprises a photosensitizer. The presence of the photosensitizer permits one to set a scan rate to a value that is at least fifty times greater than a scan rate without the photosensitizer in the material, yet provides similar refractive structures in terms of the observed change in refractive index. Alternatively, the photosensitizer in the polymeric material permits one to set an average laser power to a value that is at least two times less than an average laser power without the photosensitizer in the material, yet provide similar refractive structures. The method can be used to form refractive structures in corneal inlays and intraocular lenses following the insertion of such optical devices in an eye of a patient.
