Wool fibers undergo significant structural changes during industrial stretching, which directly impact their mechanical properties and textile performance, making monitoring of the stretching process essential for optimizing wool products. In this st...
We have studied the extinction power flow for a dipole in a laser beam, and embedded in a dissipating medium. The power flows along the field lines of the Poynting vector. We have shown that near the particle, the field lines form closed loops, which...
We report a deep learning-assisted quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy (QEPAS) sensor for trace water vapor detection in air. A 1392 nm butterfly-packaged DFB laser is wavelength-modulated at f0/2, and the QEPAS signal is retrieved by second-h...
Glare is a critical factor in the design of LED luminaires for street lighting, particularly in environments where pedestrians, cyclists and drivers coexist. Generally, glare assessments are performed for fixed geometries and a single observer, limit...
Background: Keloids are fibroproliferative scars with a prominent vascular component, and pulsed dye laser (PDL) is an established treatment, but objective imaging biomarkers of response are lacking. Objective: To evaluate whether dynamic optical coh...
A composite fiber optic sensor based on a misaligned peanut-shaped structure and the single-mode fiber–multimode fiber–single-mode fiber (SMS) structure is proposed for simultaneous strain and temperature measurements. The misaligned pean...
In this study, a double-lattice photonic crystal structure was designed to achieve deep ultraviolet lasing without the use of any Distributed Bragg Reflector (DBR), which is called a photonic-crystal surface-emitting laser (PCSEL). The plane wave exp...
The growing prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Candida spp. necessitates the development of new antifungal strategies. Photodynamic therapy (PDT), already widely used in the treatment of various oral infections, is based on the synergistic inter...
We investigate the structure of correlation singularities for the Laguerre–Gauss beam of order
Organic optoelectronic devices receive appreciable attention due to their low cost, ecology, mechanical flexibility, band-gap engineering, brightness, and solution process ability over a broad area. In this study, we designed and studied organic ligh...
We report the first observation of room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) of quinine sulfate (QS) in poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) films. Steady-state and time-gated measurements were performed to characterize the phosphorescence spectra, anisotropies,...
This work presents a compact refractometric system based on In-Line Digital Holography (ILDH) for the non-invasive characterization of transparent media, encompassing both liquids and high-refractive-index optical glasses. The core of the system is a...
In this work, we synthesized a lead-free halide double perovskite, Cs2CuSbCl6, with high carrier mobility via a one-pot hot-injection method. When combined with a high-resistivity silicon wafer, it forms a Type-II heterojunction structure, and its mo...
Multiscale optical imaging is expected to address the trade-off between field of view (FOV) and resolution in optical systems. To achieve high resolution imaging with a large FOV, this study employs a double-layer monocentric lens to design the front...
Object identification (OI) is widely used in fields like autonomous driving, security, robotics, environmental monitoring, and medical diagnostics. OI using infrared (IR) images provides high visibility in low light for all-day operation compared to...
Estimating the depth of a fluorescently labeled tumor is beneficial in tumor resection. In this study, we proposed a method for the three-dimensional position estimation of fluorescent tumors using Monte Carlo simulations. A limited proof-of-concept...
Mn4+-activated fluoride phosphors possess outstanding luminescent properties, making them highly suitable for applications in lighting and display technologies. However, the synthesis of such phosphors generally requires the use of large amounts of h...
