Published: August 2005

We report the experimental realization of a new type of optical parametric oscillator in which oscillation is achieved by polarization rotation in a linear retarder, followed by nonlinear polarization mixing. The mixing is performed by a type II degenerate parametric downconversion in a periodically poled KTP crystal pumped by a 1064 nm pulsed Nd:YAG pump. A single, linearly polarized beam, precisely at the degenerate wavelength is generated. The output spectrum has a narrow linewidth (below the instrumentation bandwidth of 1 nm) and is highly stable with respect to variations in the crystal temperature.

In this paper, we propose and theoretically investigate a novel multimode refractive index (MMRI) plasmonic optical sensor for detecting various brain cancer cells, leveraging the unique capabilities of split ring resonators (SRRs). The sensor, simulated using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method, exhibits dual resonance modes in its reflection spectrum within the 1500 nm to 3500 nm wavelength range, marking a significant advancement in multimode plasmonic biosensing. Through detailed parametric analysis, we optimize critical dimensional parameters to achieve superior performance.

Significance: Cellular metabolism is highly dynamic and strongly influenced by its local vascular microenvironment, gaining a systems-level view of cell metabolism is essential in understanding many critical biomedical problems in a broad range of disciplines. However, very few existing metabolic tools can quantify the major metabolic and vascular parameters together in biological tissues with easy access.

Aim: We aim to fill the technical gap by demonstrating a point-of-care, easy-to-use, easy-to-access, rapid, systematic optical spectroscopy platform for metabolic and vascular characterizations on biological models to enable scientific discoveries to translate more efficiently to clinical interventions.
