The Therapeutic Potential of Exosome Therapy in Sepsis Management: Addressing Complications and Improving Outcomes".

Infection occurs when pathogens penetrate tissues, reproduce, and trigger a host response to both the infectious agents and their toxins. A diverse array of pathogens, including viruses and bacteria, can cause infections. The host's immune system employs several mechanisms to combat these infections, typically involving an innate inflammatory response.

Control of single and multiple phase solitons in a ring cavity.

Phase solitons are localized structures characterized by phase jumps of 2π or multiples arising in forced ring lasers. Here, we show numerically that they can be created by superimposing to the constant driving field a suitable control beam matched in frequency with a different cavity mode for a time of the order of ten cavity round trip times. If the two beams are separated in frequency by n free spectral ranges of the cavity, a train of solitons like a perfect soliton crystal consisting of n equispaced phase solitons is generated.

Interaction of cavity solitons on an unstable background.

The interaction of two cavity solitons in a driven semiconductor laser above lasing threshold is investigated. We focus on the case in which the background field of the solitons is turbulent because the laser is below the injection locking point. We show that the solitons move spontaneously and either reach some equilibrium distance or merge.

Plasmonic all-optical switching based on metamaterial/metal waveguides with local nonlinearity.

We present a plasmonic all-optical switch based on Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) with local nonlinearity. The design of the miniaturized all-optical switch is possible by employing surface-plasmon polaritons (SPPs) that confine the energy of electromagnetic (EM) waves at sub-wavelength scale. The coupling between sub-wavelength plasmonic waveguides in MZI and a control beam generates 'ON' and 'OFF' states at the switch and switching between 'ON' and 'OFF' states happens when the control beam is turned on or off.

Improved edge detection in computational ghost imaging by introducing orbital angular momentum.

The effect of orbital angular momentum (OAM) on computational ghost imaging (CGI) with a classical or thermal source is investigated. Application of the OAM on the phase of object light is shown to enhance edge formation in the constructed image. Ghost image (GI) formation by the correlation of object and reference beams with and without OAM is studied theoretically and experimentally.

Exponentially decaying interaction potential of cavity solitons.

We analyze the interaction of two cavity solitons in an optically injected vertical cavity surface emitting laser above threshold. We show that they experience an attractive force even when their distance is much larger than their diameter, and eventually they merge. Since the merging time depends exponentially on the initial distance, we suggest that the attraction could be associated with an exponentially decaying interaction potential, similarly to what is found for hydrophobic materials.
