A method for the calculation of the wavelength-dependent complex refractive index of absorbing liquid from reflectance in the vicinity of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is presented. The calculation is based on the maximum entropy method (MEM). As an example, phase retrieval from a simulated SPR reflectance of a red colored liquid solution is carried out. It is proposed that MEM can be applied to wavelength-dependent complex refractive index assessment from reflectance of absorbing liquids in SPR measurement in wavelength scanning mode.

Constructing circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) materials that exhibit dynamic handedness inversion and emissive color modulation for multimodal information encryption presents both a significant challenge and a compelling opportunity. Here, we have developed a pyridinethiazole acrylonitrile-cholesterol derivative (Z-PTC) that exhibits wavelength-dependent photoisomerization and photocyclization, enabling dynamic handedness inversion and emissive color modulation in supramolecular assemblies with decent CPL activity. Coordination with Ag ions form the Z-PTC Ag supramolecular polymer (SP), which assembles into nanotubes displaying enhanced positive yellow-green CPL.

The radiative forcing caused by atmospheric aerosol represents one of the largest uncertainties in climate models. In part, these uncertainties derive from poor characterizations of the optical properties of light-absorbing brown carbon (BrC) containing aerosols. Here, single particle cavity ring-down spectroscopy (SP-CRDS) is used to determine the complex refractive index at the optical wavelength of 405 nm for aqueous particles composed of an abundant BrC species, 4-nitrocatechol.

Ethylene and sulfur dioxide molecules were co-deposited on a CsI window at cryogenic temperature, and the photoproducts upon UV irradiation were observed using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The products were found to be UV wavelength-dependent; at shorter wavelengths (λ = 266 nm) one strong peak was observed while more than three peaks were identified at longer UV wavelengths (λ = 300 nm). Spectral features changed seamlessly along with UV wavelength.

The intricate interplay between the irradiation wavelength, the fluorophore quantum yield (QY) and penetration depth profoundly influences the efficacy of in vivo fluorescence imaging in various applications. Understanding the complex behavior of fluorescence in vivo, specifically how variations in wavelength affect the QY of commonly used dyes and the depth of imaging is crucial for optimizing fluorescence imaging techniques, as it directly impacts the accuracy and efficiency of imaging in biological tissues. In our study, we explore these dynamics through Monte Carlo simulations conducted under conditions reflective of wide-field fluorescence imaging, examining how variations in wavelength impact the dye's QY and depth of imaging, and consequently, the fluorescence behavior.
