The current generation is witnessing a huge interest in optical waveguides due to their salient features: they are of low cost, immune to electromagnetic interference, easy to multiplex, have a compact size, etc. These features of optical fibers make...
Over the past few years, tremendous research concerning the possibilities of gold nanoparticles in medicine has been conducted. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are considered to be unique nanostructures due to their extraordinary chemical and physical pro...
Laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) have gained significant attention due to their ability to modify the surface morphology of materials at the micro-nanoscale and show great promise for surface functionalization applications. In this s...
Advanced Raman spectroscopy (RS) systems have gained new interest in the field of medicine as an emerging tool for in vivo tissue discrimination. The coupling of RS with artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms has given a boost to RS to analyze spect...
This article provides an overview of the progress made in skin imaging using two emerging imaging modalities, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and photoacoustic imaging (PAI). Over recent years, these technologies have significantly advanced our un...
The synchronization of laser and X-ray sources is essential for time-resolved measurements in the study of ultrafast processes, including photo-induced piezo-effects, shock wave generation, and phase transitions. On the one hand, optical diagnostics...
Governments and energy providers all over the world are moving towards the use of renewable energy sources. Solar photovoltaic (PV) energy is one of the providers’ favourite options because it is comparatively cheaper, clean, available, abundan...
Photodissolution is a process that is well known for its ability to cause inclusion of silver into the matrix of a chalcogenide layer, changing its optical properties. In this paper, using e-beam deposition, we developed Ag (74 nm)/As2S3 (355 nm) bil...
Phase transitions are an intriguing yet poorly understood aspect of transition-metal-based materials; these phase transitions can result in changes to the refractive index, absorption coefficient, and other optical properties of the materials. Transi...
Data augmentation using generative adversarial networks (GANs) is vital in the creation of new instances that include imaging modality tasks for improved deep learning classification. In this study, conditional generative adversarial networks (cGANs)...
