Abstract
Stimuli-responsive crystalline materials have received much attention for being potential candidates of smart materials. However, the occurrence of polymorphism-driven stimuli responses in crystalline materials remains interesting but rare. Herein, three polymorphs of an acylhydrazone derivative, N'-[(E)-(1-benzofuran-2-yl) methylidene] pyridine -4-carbohydrazide (BFMP) were prepared. Form-1 undergoes a photomechanical response via E→Z photoisomerization under UV irradiation, accompanied by a decrease in fluorescence intensity and a change from colorless to yellow. Two types of Z→E thermal isomerization mechanisms with significant differences in conversion rate were observed at different temperatures in form-1. The solid-melt-solid transition has a faster conversion rate compared to the solid-solid transition due to freedom from lattice confinement. The transition from form-2 to form-3 can be achieved under grinding, coupled with a significant decrease in fluorescence intensity. The similar molecular stacking pattern of form-2 and form-3 provides a structural basis for the grinding-induced crystalline transition behavior. In addition, the presence of the pyridine moiety imparts an acidochromic property. The combination of photochromism and acidochromism explores the possible applications of acylhydrazone derivatives in information encryption.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202310263.

Abstract
Whispering-gallery-mode (WGM) microcavities featuring distinguishable sharp peaks in a broadband exhibit enormous advantages in the field of miniaturized photonic barcodes. However, such kind of barcodes developed hitherto are primarily based on microcavities wherein multiple gain medias were blended into a single matrix, thus resulting in the limited and indistinguishable coding elements. Here, a surface tension assisted heterogeneous assembly strategy is proposed to construct the spatially resolved WGM hetero-microrings with multiple spatial colors along its circular direction. Through precisely regulating the charge-transfer (CT) strength, full-color microrings covering the entire visible range were effectively acquired, which exhibit a series of sharp and recognizable peaks and allow for the effective construction of high-quality photonic barcodes. Notably, the spatially resolved WGM hetero-microrings with multiple coding elements were finally acquired through heterogeneous nucleation and growth controlled by the directional diffusion between the hetero-emulsion droplets, thus remarkably promoting the security strength and coding capacity of the barcodes. The results would be useful to fabricate new types of organic hierarchical hybrid WGM heterostructures for optical information recording and security labels.

Abstract
Optical microbarcodes have recently received a great deal of interest because of their suitability for a wide range of applications, such as multiplexed assays, cell tagging and tracking, anticounterfeiting, and product labeling. Spectral barcodes are especially promising because they are robust and have a simple readout. In addition, microcavity- and microlaser-based barcodes have very narrow spectra and therefore have the potential to generate millions of unique barcodes. This review begins with a discussion of the different types of barcodes and then focuses specifically on microcavity-based barcodes. While almost any kind of optical microcavity can be used for barcoding, currently whispering-gallery microcavities (in the form of spheres and disks), nanowire lasers, Fabry-Pérot lasers, random lasers, and distributed feedback lasers are the most frequently employed for this purpose. In microcavity-based barcodes, the information is encoded in various ways in the properties of the emitted light, most frequently in the spectrum. The barcode is dependent on the properties of the microcavity, such as the size, shape, and the gain materials. Various applications of these barcodes, including cell tracking, anticounterfeiting, and product labeling are described. Finally, the future prospects for microcavity- and microlaser-based barcodes are discussed.

Abstract
Organic multicolor heterostructures with spatially resolved luminescent colors and identifiable patterns have exhibited considerable potential for achieving micro-/nanoscale photonic barcodes. Nevertheless, such types of barcodes reported thus far are exclusively based on a single heterostructure with limited coding elements. Here, a directional self-assembly strategy is proposed to achieve high-coding-capacity spatially resolved photonic barcodes through rationally constructing organic hierarchical super-heterostructures, where numerous subheterostructure blocks with flat hexagonal facets are precisely oriented with their specific facets via a reconfigurable capillary force. The building blocks were prepared through a one-pot sequential heteroepitaxial growth, which enables the effective modulation of the structural and color characteristics in coding structures. Significantly, a directional facet-to-facet attraction between particles via facet registration leads to the formation of well-defined 1D super-heterostructures, which contain multiple coding elements, thus providing a good platform for constructing the high-coding-capacity photonic barcodes. The results may be useful in fabricating organic hierarchical hybrid super-heterostructures for security labels and optical data recording.

Abstract
Microscale laser emissions have emerged as a promising approach for information encoding and anti-counterfeiting for their feature-rich spectra and high sensitivity to the surrounding environment. Compared with artificial materials, natural responsive biomaterials enable a higher level of complexity and versatile ways for tailoring optical responses. However, precise control of lasing wavelengths and spatial locations with biomolecules remains a huge challenge. Here, a biologically programmable laser, in which the lasing can be manipulated by biomolecular activities at the nanoscale, is developed. Tunable lasing wavelengths are achieved by exploiting the swelling properties of enzyme-responsive hydrogel droplets in a Fabry-Pérot microcavity. Both experimental and theoretical means demonstrate that inner 3D network structures and external curvature of the hydrogel droplets lead to different lasing thresholds and resonance wavelengths. Finally, inkjet-printed multiwavelength laser encoding and anti-counterfeiting are showcased under different scalabilities and environments. Hyperspectral laser images are utilized as an advanced feature for a higher level of security. The biologically encoded laser will provide a new insight into the development of biosynthetic and bioprogrammable laser devices, offering new opportunities for secure communication and smart sensing.

Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs) have drawn considerable attention owing to their attractive photoluminescence, advantageous chemical tolerance, good biocompatibility, and so on. However, it remains challenging to tune their photoluminescence spatially and temporally due to their high photostability. Herein, a viable approach to in-situ dialing the photoluminescence of CDs by using light in the presence of a photoacid generator (PAG, e.g., diphenyliodonium hexafluorophosphate) is demonstrated. Fluorescence quenching occurs upon light irradiation due to the protonation of pyridine and amino nitrogen atoms of CDs according to X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. As such, blue, green, and red color fluorescent patterns of CDs are ready to form in poly(vinyl alcohol) by light irradiation under photomask. These patterns not only show a controlled preservation time under room light, but also can be erased on demand by flood UV irradiation, which are promising for advanced anti-counterfeiting such as shelf-life based security and erasable encryption.

Abstract
Information security of photonic communications has become an important societal issue and can be greatly improved when photonic signals are propagated through active waveguides with tunable wavelengths in different time and space domains. Moreover, the development of active waveguides that can work efficiently at extreme temperatures is highly desirable but remains a challenge. Herein, we report new types of low-dimensional Zn(ii)–organic halide microcrystals with fluorescence and room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) dual emission for use as 1D color-tunable active waveguides. Benefiting from strong intermolecular interactions (i.e., hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions), these robust waveguide systems exhibit colorful photonic signals and structural stability at a wide range of extreme simulated temperatures (>300 K), that covers natural conditions on Earth, Mars, and the Moon. Both experimental and theoretical studies demonstrate that the molecular self-assembly can regulate the singlet and triplet excitons to allow thermally assisted spectral separation of fluorescence and RTP, in combination with the single-component standard white-light emission. Therefore, this work demonstrates the first use of metal–organic halide microcrystals as temperature-gating active waveguides with promising implications for high-security information communications and high-resolution micro/nanophotonics. 1D zinc–organic halide microcrystals exhibiting thermally assisted spectral separation of fluorescence and phosphorescence could be used as single-component standard white-light and temperature-gating active waveguides.![]()

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) heterostructures with domain-controlled emissive colors have shown great potential for achieving high-throughput sensing, anti-counterfeit and information security. Here, a strategy based on steric-hindrance effect is proposed to construct lateral lanthanide-MOFs (Ln-MOFs) epitaxial heterostructures, where the channel-directed guest molecules are introduced to rebalance in-plane and out-of-plane growth rates of the Ln-MOFs microrods and eventually generate lateral MOF epitaxial heterostructures with controllable aspect ratios. A library of lateral Ln-MOFs heterostructures are acquired through a stepwise epitaxial growth procedure, from which rational modulation of each domain with specific lanthanide doping species allows for definition of photonic barcodes in a two-dimensional (2D) domain with remarkably enlarged encoding capacity. The results provide molecular-level insight into the use of modulators in governing crystallite morphology for spatially assembling multifunctional heterostructures.

Abstract
Microscopic lasers represent a promising tool for the development of cutting-edge photonic devices thanks to their ability to enhance light-matter interaction at the microscale. In this work, we realize liquid microlasers with tunable emission by exploiting the self-formation of three-dimensional liquid droplets into a polymeric matrix driven by viscoelastic dewetting. We design a flexible device to be used as a smart photonic label which is detachable and reusable on various types of substrates such as paper or fabric. The innovative lasing emission mechanism proposed here is based on whispering gallery mode emission coupled to random lasing, the latter prompted by the inclusion of dielectric compounds into the active gain medium. The wide possibility of modulating the emission wavelength of the microlasers by acting on different parameters, such as the cavity size, type and volume fraction of the dielectrics, and gain medium, offers a multitude of spectroscopic encoding schemes for the realization of photonic barcodes and labels to be employed in anticounterfeiting applications and multiplexed bioassays.

Abstract
With the continuous advancement of information technology, the requirements for the information storage capacity of materials are getting higher and higher. However, information code materials usually only store a single piece of information. In order to improve their storage capacity, aggregation-induced emission (AIE) supramolecular adhesive hydrogels with different fluorescent colors are prepared, and a "Codes in Code" method is used to demonstrate the storage capacity for large amounts of information. Four kinds of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) supramolecular hydrogels with different fluorescent colors are prepared; based on the hydrogen bonds on the hydrogel surface, these hydrogels can be assembled into a hydrogel, G5, which shows multiple fluorescent colors under the irradiation of UV light. When many 1D barcode patterns or/and 2D code patterns are incorporated into G5, not only a kind of 3D information but also plenty of 1D or/and 2D information can be stored. Therefore, the information codes prepared by the "Codes in Code" method can store a large amount of information.

Abstract
Anticounterfeiting labels based on physical unclonable functions (PUFs) exhibit high security with unreplicable code outputs, making them an ideal platform to realize unbreakable anticounterfeiting. Although various schemes are proposed for PUF labels, the utilization of natural randomness suffers from unpredictable signal extraction sites, which poses a challenge to efficient and convenient authentication for practical anticounterfeiting applications. Here, a covert optical PUF-based cryptographic protocol from silk protein-based microlaser (SML) arrays that possess hidden randomness of lasers for unclonable lasing signals as well as a defined location for efficient identification is proposed. The initial SMLs are patterned by casting laser dye-doped regenerated silk fibroin solution, resulting in a uniform microlaser array with regulated positions. With the SML array as substrate, random methanol microdroplets are stochastically sprayed on the SML array, which eventually induces uneven lasing signal changes of the patterned microlasers. The treated SML array possesses the deterministic readout sites of laser signals and unrepeatable signal distribution characteristics, which can guarantee efficient authentication and high security when serving as an anticounterfeiting label.

Abstract
Barcodes are utilized for product information management in shops, offices, hospitals, passenger facilities, and factories because they enable substantial amounts of data to be processed quickly and accurately. However, a limited amount of information can be loaded on the currently used monochrome barcodes that are based on thin-film coatings. Therefore, these barcodes require constant replacement with new barcodes to update the information; furthermore, they cannot be applied to textile products. This study demonstrated the performance of wearable invisible infrared (IR)-emitting barcodes by using twisted yarns that comprised five highly elastic/conductive spandex fibers. The barcode information can be actively updated via the selective IR emission from specific yarns of the barcode by controlling the applied voltage to the IR-emitting yarns. Therefore, the IR barcode required a relatively small number of bars to express a higher volume of information compared to the existing monochrome barcodes. Because the emitted IR light from the yarns was invisible to the human eye and was only recognized by an IR camera, the information-variable IR-emitting yarn-based barcode exhibited an aesthetic design and was composed of a sustainable fabric-type material that could be easily applied to clothes, bags, and shoes. It is expected that the fabricated barcode will be widely utilized as wearable invisible barcodes, whose information will remain invisible to humans and can be updated in real time to ensure information fluidity.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have recently emerged as appealing platforms to construct microlasers owing to their compelling characters combining the excellent stability of inorganic materials and processable characters of organic materials. However, MOF microstructures developed thus far are generally composed of multiple edge boundaries due to their crystalline nature, which consequently raises significant scattering losses that are detrimental to lasing performance. In this work, we propose a strategy to overcome the above drawback by designing spherically shaped MOFs microcavities. Such spherical MOF microstructures are constructed by amorphizing MOFs with a topological distortion network through introducing flexible building blocks into the growth environment. With an ultra-smooth surface and excellent circular boundaries, the acquired spherical microcavities possess a Q factor as high as ≈104 and can provide sufficient feedback for high-quality single-mode lasing oscillations. We hope that these results will pave an avenue for the construction of new types of flexible MOF-based photonic components.

Abstract
Carbon-based fluorescent security labels are effective methods to prevent counterfeiting. However, the properties of poor optical stability, complex and energy-consuming synthesis processes and weak bonding with substrates of carbon-based fluorescent materials limit their application prospects. Here, a novel in situ fluorescent patterning strategy is developed to achieve covert, chemically stable and solvent-tolerant cellulose-based security labels by UV exposure. The unsaturated double bonds as the origin of the fluorescence were generated during the photodegradation process under UV exposure. The fluorescent emission of cellulose-based materials reveals excellent stability under acidic, alkaline, reducing, oxidizing and non-polar solvent environments. These advantages give the cellulose nanofiber based security label fantastic potential applications. The cellulose-based fluorescent patterning strategy is developed by UV exposure to achieve covert, chemically stable and solvent tolerant security labels.![]()

Abstract
Modern high-security cryptography and optical communication call for covert bit sequences with high coding capacity and efficient authentication. Stimuli-responsive lasing emissions with easily distinguishable readout are promising in the coding field as a novel cryptographic primitive, while the application is frequently restricted by the limited number of emission states. Here, we report a strategy of achieving multiple competitive lasing signals in responsive organic microspheres where a donor–acceptor pair was introduced. The competitive lasing from the donor and acceptor was reversibly switched by modulating the competition between the radiative rate of the donor and the rate of energy transfer, and the generated multiple lasing signals enabled a quaternary coding for recognizable cryptographic implementation. Data encryption and extraction were demonstrated using a 4 × 4 microlaser array, showing vast prospects in avoiding the disclosure of security information. The results offer a comprehensive understanding of excited-state dynamics in organic composite materials, which may play a major role in high-security optical recording and information encryption.

Abstract
Organic microlasers have attracted much attention due to their unique features such as high mechanical flexibility, facile doping of gain materials, high optical quality, simplicity and low-cost fabrication. However, organic gain materials usually suffer from aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ), preventing further advances of organic microlasers. Here, a new type of microlaser from aggregation-induced emission (AIE) material is successfully demonstrated. By introducing a typical noncrystalline AIE material, a high quality microlaser is obtained via a surface tension-induced self-assembly approach. Distinct from conventional organic microlasers, the organic luminescent material used here is initially nonluminescent but can shine after aggregation under optical pumping. Further investigations demonstrate that AIE-based microlasers exhibit advantages to enable much higher doping concentrations, which provides an alternative way to improved lasing performance including dramatically reduced threshold and favorable lasing stability. It is believed that these results could provide a promising way to extend the content of microlasers and open a new avenue to enable applications ranging from chemical sensing to biology.

Abstract
Information encryption and decryption have attracted particular attention; however, the applications are frequently restricted by limited coding capacity due to the indistinguishable broad photoluminescence band of conventional stimuli-responsive fluorescent materials. Here, we present a concept of confidential information encryption with photoresponsive liquid crystal (LC) lasing materials, which were used to fabricate ordered microlaser arrays through a microtemplate-assisted inkjet printing method. LC microlasers exhibit narrow-bandwidth single-mode emissions, and the wavelength of LC microlasers was reversibly modulated based on the optical isomerization of the chiral dopant in LCs. On this basis, we demonstrate phototunable information authentication on LC microlaser arrays using the wavelength of LC microlasers as primary codes. These results provide enlightenment for the implementation of microlaser-based cryptographic primitives for information encryption and anticounterfeiting applications.

Abstract
We report a simple electrospinning method to fabricate polymer bottle microresonators, which are doped with a lasing gain material and supported by electrospun polymer micro/nanofibers on a flexible grooved polymer substrate. The fabricated bottle microresonators have smooth outer surfaces and high quality. By using an interference light pump approach, single whispering gallery mode lasing is obtained, with a side-mode suppression factor over 20 dB. By mechanically stretching the grooved substrate, tunability of the lasing peaks is demonstrated. Our method has the advantages of saving time and being low in cost and may have promising applications in stretchable lasing and sensing devices.

Abstract
Microscale laser switches have been playing irreplaceable roles in the development of photonic devices with high integration levels. However, it remains a challenge to switch the lasing wavelengths across a wide range due to relatively fixed energy bands in traditional semiconductors. Here, we report a strategy to switch the lasing wavelengths among multiple states based on a proton-controlled intramolecular charge-transfer (ICT) process in organic dye-doped flexible microsphere resonant cavities. The protonic acids can effectively bind onto the ICT molecules, which thus enhance the ICT strength of the dyes and lead to a red-shifted gain behavior. On this basis, the gain region was effectively modulated by using acids with different proton-donating ability, and as a result, laser switching among multiple wavelengths was achieved. The results will provide guidance for the rational design of miniaturized lasers with performances based on the characteristic of organic optoelectronic materials.

Abstract
We propose a new sensor design that maximizes fluorescence contrast, inspired by whispering-gallery mode lasing (WGM). Aptamer-modified glass microspheres (cf. 1-38 μm) and thrombin are used as a model sensory cavity and target protein, respectively. Two types of microsphere are prepared to compare fluorescence contrast: turn-on and turn-off types by using fluorophore-labeled target protein and fluorophore-labeled DNA duplex with thrombin-binding aptamer (TBA), respectively. For the turn-on type, a fluorescence increase was detected in the presence of 100 nM thrombin, but signal amplification upon excitation power did not occur. As for the turn-off type, in the absence of thrombin, fluorophores are densely populated around the microsphere, leading to fluorescence confinement and intensity amplification upon increasing the pump intensity. By adding thrombin, a complementary strand of TBA is dissociated from the microsphere, and the G-quadruplex structure of the thrombin aptamer recognizes and binds to thrombin. As the fluorophore density around the microsphere decreases, fluorescence amplification based on WGM resonance is halted, resulting in 29-fold enhanced contrast under increased excitation power.
