Abstract:

The ability to interface microfluidic devices with native complex biological architectures, such as whole organs, has the potential to shift the paradigm for the study and analysis of biological tissue. Here, we show 3D printing can be used to fabricate bio-inspired conformal microfluidic devices that directly interface with the surface of whole organs. Structured-light scanning techniques enabled the 3D topographical matching of microfluidic device geometry to porcine kidney anatomy. Our studies show molecular species are...

Abstract:

We present a design for a 4 U (20 cm× 20 cm× 10 cm) occultation-viewing laser heterodyne radiometer (LHR) that measures methane (CH 4), carbon dioxide (CO 2) and water vapor (H 2 O) in the limb that is designed for deployment on a 6 U CubeSat. The LHR design collects sunlight that has undergone absorption by the trace gas and mixes it with a distributive feedback (DFB) laser centered at 1640 nm that scans across CO 2, CH 4, and H 2 O absorption features. Upper troposphere/lower stratosphere measurements of these gases...

Abstract:

A compact, passively Q-switched fiber laser with a tunable output is demonstrated. The proposed system uses a short length ytterbium doped fiber to create a very stable and compact optical circuit that uses black phosphorus (BP) as a saturable absorber to generate the desired short pulses. A stable Q-switch pulse train is obtained, with an operational wavelength range from 1056.6–1083.3 nm. Concurrently, a maximum pulse energy and minimum pulse width as well as a repetition rate range of 7.1 nJ, 4 µs and 6.0–44.8 kHz...

Residual metal impurities in the pristine carbon nanotubes (CNT) have been found to show an exceptional electrochemical and electro-catalytic properties. To quantify the impurities, sophisticated instrumental techniques and time consuming electrochemical methods have been adopted.

Abstract:

Optical communication technologies are playing more and more important roles in both intra-and inter-data center networks. Particularly, optical switching network architectures for the inter-rack/pod communications in the data centers have drawn remarkable attention in recent years. By exploiting the high-bandwidth nature and flexible resource allocation capability of optical switching technologies, data center networks (DCNs) may be designed to have high scalability and flexibility, as well as lower cost. Under such design principles...

Abstract:

We report a tunable monochromatic source generation scheme, based on Brillouin filtering of a self-referenced optical frequency comb. The system benefits from the high stability and mode linewidth of the frequency comb, significantly improving the performance of the original laser source used as Brillouin pump. A synthesized frequency with stability under 4× 10− 11 and a linewidth under 75 kHz was experimentally demonstrated for two separate pump lasers in the C-band. The proposed monochromatic source can be tuned with high...

In order to characterize the ?ltered mode, the synthesized frequency was down-converted with the comb itself in the all-?-ber beat unit. The OFC output was ?ltered with a tunable optical ?ber ?lter (FOTF-025121333 from Agiltron, ranging from 1510 nm to 1580 nm) before beating. Since the SBS ?ltering process pre-serves the original OFC frequency, a frequency shift needs to be induced in the isolated mode for heterodyne characterization...

Abstract:

Although microfluidic approach is widely used in various point of care diagnostics, its implementation in surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-based detection is challenging. This is because SERS signal depends on plasmonic nanoparticle aggregation induced generation of stable electromagnetic hot spots and in currently available microfluidic platform this condition is difficult to adapt. Here we show that SERS can be adapted using simple paper based microfluidic system where both the plasmonic...

Abstract:

Integrating materials with distinct lattice symmetries and dimensions is an effective design strategy toward realizing novel devices with unprecedented functionalities, but many challenges remain in synthesis and device design. Here, a heterojunction memory made of wurtzite ZnO nanorods grown on perovskite Nb‐doped SrTiO3 (NSTO) is reported, the electronic properties of which can be drastically reconfigured by applying a voltage and light. Despite of the distinct lattice structures of ZnO and NSTO, a consistent nature of single...
