A new method of fiber-optic based beam shaping is investigated both numerically and experimentally. A cylindrically symmetric method of lines (MoLs) is developed to simulate the device. The device is fabricated by fusion splicing a predetermined length of multimode fiber (MMF) to a single-mode fiber. The multimode interference (MMI) effects create ring-shaped field profiles at certain positions inside the MMF. The shaped beam can be used in medical applications requiring particular irradiation patterns.

A HPU-23@Ru@Tb-NH sensor array with light-driven oxidase-mimicking activity and triple-emission fluorescence was developed. It was composed of a Tb-functionalized metal organic framework and Ru(bpy) and applied to the simultaneous detection of Hg, ClO, and PO via differently responsive channels. HPU-23@Ru@Tb-NH had a photoresponsive colorimetric response toward Hg with a LOD as low as 4.

- The proposed hybrid photonic platform combines chalcogenide glass (GeSbSe) with lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI) to enhance performance and compactness for integrated photonic systems.
- Key components such as grating couplers, micro-ring resonators, multimode interference couplers, and Mach-Zehnder interferometers are designed and fabricated, achieving high quality factors and low propagation losses.
- This platform's unique optical properties allow for scalable, low-loss integrated photonic circuits, making it suitable for applications in high-speed optical communications and signal processing.
The cross talk and power consumption of the 2 × 2 optical switch is a key metric in the design of large-scale photonic integrated circuits (PICs). We build a theoretical model of a 2 × 2 Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) optical switch, taking into account both imbalances in the arm loss and the coupler splitting ratio. The splitting ratio imbalance requirement for a given switch cross talk is summarized, which provides a guideline for the switch design.

This work presents a ZnO-coated no-core optical fiber sensor (OFS) designed for the highly sensitive detection of acetone vapor. Acetone is a key biomarker for diabetes, which is linked to blood glucose levels and can be detected non-invasively through breath analysis. The OFS utilizes a no-core fiber (NCF) as the sensing region, coated with a thin layer of ZnO nanoparticles to enhance evanescent field interaction with the VOCs at the fiber interface.
