We fabricate and investigate wavelength selective components utilizing channel plasmon polaritons (CPPs) and operate at telecom wavelengths: a waveguide-ring resonator-based add-drop multiplexer (WRR-ADM) and a compact (3.75-microm-long) Bragg grating filter (BGF). The CPP waveguides represent 0.5-microm-wide and 1.3-microm-deep V-grooves in gold, which are combined with a 5-microm-radius ring resonator (in the WRR-ADM) or 0.5-microm-long wells milled with the period of 0.75 microm across a groove (in the BGF). The CPP-based components are characterized in the wavelength range of 1425-1600 nm by use of near-field optical microscopy, exhibiting the wavelength selectivity of approximately 40 nm.

Preparation of carbon dots (CDs) from biomass waste is of great interest due to its low cost synthesis, environmental compatibility and functionalization without adding dangerous chemicals. Herein, S-doped carbon dot (SCD) was synthesized using agricultural waste as carbon precursors and modified in-situ with rhodamine B dye (SCD@RHB) to construct efficient flouresent probe. SCD@RHB was loaded into HKUST-1 metal-organic framework (SCD@RHB/HKUST-1) and the probe was employed as ratiometric flouresent (RF) sensor for the determination of ciprofloxacin (CIP) antibiotic in trace level.

The successful development of a metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived Co/CoO/C core-shell composite integrated into laser-induced graphitic (LIG) carbon electrodes for electrochemical sensing is reported. The sensors are fabricated via a direct laser scribing technique using a UV laser (355 nm wavelength) to induce the photothermolysis of rationally selected ZIF-67 into the LIG matrix. Electrochemical characterization reveals that the incorporation of the laser-scribed ZIF-67-derived composite on the electrode surface reduces the impedance more than 100 times compared with bare LIG sensors.

Detecting biothiols like glutathione (GSH), homocysteine (Hcy), and cysteine (Cys) is key to understanding their roles in health and disease. We developed BT-DNBS, a cyanine-based turn-on fluorescent probe with a dinitrobenzenesulfonyl (DNBS) quencher group. Upon biothiol interaction, the quencher is cleaved, restoring fluorescence.

Spiro architectures with π-conjugation have improved thermal stability and stronger photosensitivity, making them potentially useful for organic optoelectronic devices. Our recent work has demonstrated the synthetic chemistry of a novel thiophene oligomer combining 2,7-dihydrooxepine and dispiro structure and derived it into A-D-A-type compounds. The optical spectroscopy and electrochemical characteristics were investigated.

The MKN45 cell line, a type of gastric cancer cell, exhibits resistance to chemotherapy agents through various mechanisms. Curcumin and noscapine, two plant-derived anticancer compounds, exhibit selective cytotoxicity towards cancer cells. However, their bioavailability is poor both in vitro and in vivo.
