Free-label dual-signal responsive optical sensor by combining resonance Rayleigh scattering and colorimetry for sensitive detection of glutathione based on ultrathin MnO2 nanoflakes
摘要： Glutathione (GSH) plays a critical role in the living system and its abnormalities are closely associated with numerous clinical diseases. Thus, monitoring and detecting the content of GSH in the living system is still of great importance. Herein, a novel dual-signal responsive optical sensor is developed by using resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) and colorimetry for sensitive detection of GSH. In this sensor, MnO2 nanoflakes are used as both GSH recognizer and signal transducer of RRS and colorimetry. The solution of MnO2 nanoflakes shows strong RRS and absorption signals because MnO2 nanoflakes possess a large surface area and high molar extinction coefficient. However, MnO2 can be reduced to Mn2+ and MnO2 nanoflakes can be etched to small nanoparticles by GSH, causing both the RRS and absorption signals to decrease. Based on the change of RRS signal and absorbance of MnO2 nanoflakes, a novel dual-signal responsive optical sensor is successfully constructed to detect the content of GSH. The as-developed optical sensor toward GSH presents a favorable sensitivity with a detection limit of 0.033 and 0.67 μM for RRS and colorimetry, respectively. Furthermore, the as-developed approach is straightforward, quickly responsive, free-label, and cost-effective. More significantly, this method combines the advantages of RRS and colorimetry for the detection of GSH. Beyond this, the proposed RRS method has also been successfully utilized to detect the content of GSH in glutathione injection samples.

Nonlinear Optics || Stimulated Brillouin and Stimulated Rayleigh Scattering
摘要： We saw in Section 8.1 that light scattering can occur only as the result of fluctuations in the optical properties of a material system. A light-scattering process is said to be spontaneous if the fluctuations (typically in the dielectric constant) that cause the light-scattering are excited by thermal or by quantum-mechanical zero-point effects. In contrast, a light-scattering process is said to be stimulated if the fluctuations are induced by the presence of the light field. Stimulated light scattering is typically very much more efficient than spontaneous light scattering. For example, approximately one part in 105 of the power contained in a beam of visible light would be scattered out of the beam by spontaneous scattering in passing through 1 cm of liquid water. In this chapter, we shall see that when the intensity of the incident light is sufficiently large, essentially 100% of a beam of light can be scattered in a 1-cm path as the result of stimulated scattering processes.

Simple direct observation of polarization changes of Rayleigh scattering on sugar solution at low concentration
摘要： The direct measurement of polarization changes can be used to prove Rayleigh scattering at low concentration of sucrose and commercial sugar solution. The polarization changes of scattered light is linearly dependent on the polarization angle in the range 0° to 70°, and linearly dependent on sample concentration (number of particles). This method is able to show sugar’s relative different quality, i.e. pure sucrose and commercial sugar due to different molecular size and additional impurities in the commercial sugar.The method is simpler and easier to study the interaction of light with matter for special condition. Additionally, for other known parameters, the method can be developed to obtain the molecular size and composition information of the sample using Rayleigh scattering.

Diagnostics of polarization purity of x rays by means of Rayleigh scattering
摘要： Synchrotron radiation is commonly known to be completely linearly polarized when observed in the orbital plane of the synchrotron motion. Under actual experimental conditions, however, the degree of polarization of the synchrotron radiation may be lower than the ideal 100%. We demonstrate that even tiny impurities of polarization of the incident radiation can drastically affect the polarization of the elastically scattered light. We propose to use this effect as a precision tool for the diagnostics of the polarization purity of the synchrotron radiation. Two variants of the diagnostics method are proposed. The ?rst one is based on the polarization measurements of the scattered radiation and relies on theoretical calculations of the transition amplitudes. The second one involves simultaneous measurements of the polarization and the cross sections of the scattered radiation and is independent of theoretical amplitudes.

Long-Range Distributed Solar Irradiance Sensing Using Optical Fibers
摘要： Until recently, the amount of solar irradiance reaching the Earth surface was considered to be a steady value over the years. However, there is increasing observational evidence showing that this quantity undergoes substantial variations over time, which need to be addressed in different scenarios ranging from climate change to solar energy applications. With the growing interest in developing solar energy technology with enhanced efficiency and optimized management, the monitoring of solar irradiance at the ground level is now considered to be a fundamental input in the pursuit of that goal. Here, we propose the first fiber-based distributed sensor able of monitoring ground solar irradiance in real time, with meter scale spatial resolutions over distances of several tens of kilometers (up to 100 km). The technique is based on an optical fiber reflectometry technique (CP-φOTDR), which enables real time and long-range high-sensitivity bolometric measurements of solar radiance with a single optical fiber cable and a single interrogator unit. The method is explained and analyzed theoretically. A validation of the method is proposed using a solar simulator irradiating standard optical fibers, where we demonstrate the ability to detect and quantify solar irradiance with less than a 0.1 W/m2 resolution.

Distributed optical fiber sensing: Review and perspective
摘要： Over the past few decades, optical fibers have been widely deployed to implement various applications in high-speed long-distance telecommunication, optical imaging, ultrafast lasers, and optical sensors. Distributed optical fiber sensors characterized by spatially resolved measurements along a single continuous strand of optical fiber have undergone significant improvements in underlying technologies and application scenarios, representing the highest state of the art in optical sensing. This work is focused on a review of three types of distributed optical fiber sensors which are based on Rayleigh, Brillouin, and Raman scattering, and use various demodulation schemes, including optical time-domain reflectometry, optical frequency-domain reflectometry, and related schemes. Recent developments of various distributed optical fiber sensors to provide simultaneous measurements of multiple parameters are analyzed based on their sensing performance, revealing an inherent trade-off between performance parameters such as sensing range, spatial resolution, and sensing resolution. This review highlights the latest progress in distributed optical fiber sensors with an emphasis on energy applications such as energy infrastructure monitoring, power generation system monitoring, oil and gas pipeline monitoring, and geothermal process monitoring. This review aims to clarify challenges and limitations of distributed optical fiber sensors with the goal of providing a pathway to push the limits in distributed optical fiber sensing for practical applications.

Surface functionalized quantum dots as biosensor for highly selective and sensitive detection of ppb level of propafenone
摘要： Monodispersed CdTe quantum dots (QDs) were prepared by using thioglycolic acid as surfactants in aqueous solution. The thioglycolic acid was chemically adsorbed on the surface of CdTe QDs that enables the QDs positively charged. In week acidic media, propafenone is positively charged, which can combine with the CdTe QDs to form larger ion-association complex via electrostatic attraction and hydrogen bond. Moreover, the formed ion-association complex could increase the intensity of resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS), second-order scattering (SOS) and frequency doubling-scattering (FDS) of CdTe QDs, and quench the CdTe QDs fluorescence. Importantly, under optimal experimental conditions, the increased RRS, SOS and FDS intensity, and quenched fluorescence intensity of CdTe QDs were in direct proportion to the propafenone concentration in a certain range, respectively. Among them, the RRS method exhibited the highest sensitivity. In a wide concentration range of propafenone from 0.003 to 7.0 mg mL?1, the detection limit could reach 0.96 ng mL?1, which was much lower than previously reported methods. To simulate practical applications, the possible foreign interfering substances were also investigated, such as common ions, amino acid, and glucide. The proposed method here is rapid, sensitive and shows promising application for detection of ppb level of propafenone in human serum.

Mass Producible Low-Loss Broadband Optical Waveguides in Eagle2000 by Femtosecond Laser Writing
摘要： Optical waveguides were fabricated in alkaline earth boro-aluminosilicate glass, by femtosecond laser direct writing, with varying pulse energy and scan velocity. A spectral characterization, from 500 nm to 1700 nm, was made in order to determine their losses and understand its dependence on the processing parameters. Three major loss mechanisms were identified. At longer wavelengths, loss is mainly due to weak coupling. On the other hand, the behavior at shorter wavelengths is governed by propagation loss due to Rayleigh scattering, which was shown to be practically eliminated (<0.05 dB· cm?1· μm4) at higher scan velocities. Bulk absorption was also found to have an influence in the propagation losses at higher wavelengths. The combination of intermediate pulse energies (between 125-250 nJ) and high scan velocities (above 6 cm/s) allowed the fabrication of optical waveguides offering low losses across the entire range of wavelengths tested, facilitating applications that require larger wavelength working bands. Furthermore, since optimal fabrication conditions are achieved at higher scanning velocities, mass production with reduced fabrication times can be achieved.

Interfacial Engineering in Functional Materials for Dye‐Sensitized Solar Cells || Light Scattering Materials as Photoanodes
摘要： Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are existing to be a promising alternative to conventional silicon solar cells owing to its ease of fabrication, low cost, along with the additional features like flexible devices and building integrated photovoltaic system [1]. In general, DSSC architecture comprised of semiconducting photoanode, counter electrode (catalyst), and an electrolyte [2, 3]. In DSSC, the quantity of light caught by the dye-sensitized photoanode has a strong influence on the overall performance because the electrons are generated directly from the excited dye molecules by the irradiated sunlight. One of the primary key tasks is to boost the performance of the device by enriching the photon absorption in DSSCs such as the introduction of a tandem structure and the introduction of a light-scattering effect. Among these developments, the light-scattering effect had more attention than others because of an easy method for enhancing light absorption [4–7]. The simple theory of light scattering effect was introduced by Usami [8] in 1997, stating that a new photoelectrode structure consisting of top layer made up of a large sized particle film on the below layer made up of a small sized particle film; the light scattered by the top layer triggered an increase in the light absorption. In initial days, several studies had been focused on the analysis of the light-scattering effect in the DSSCs by using various simulation methods based on the Monte Carlo model, Mie theory, and the many-flux model. Subsequently, the light-scattering effect had been widely used as an important technique to develop the performance of DSSCs [9]. So, the introduction of light scattering and light scattering materials are explained in the following sections.
