The widely used setup for the generation of femtosecond infrared (IR) pulses based on parametric amplifiers (OPAs) and difference frequency mixing (DFM) is extended to produce tunable narrowband mid-IR pulses. The insertion of pairs of silicon prisms after the OPA induces adjustable chirp, which leads to the generation of narrowband pulses in the DFM stage. Rapid tunability of the mid-IR wavelength via a computer-controllable actuator can be achieved in a range of approximately 200 cm(-1) at a bandwidth of the IR-pulses between approximately 15 and approximately 50 cm(-1) and pulse energies up to 0.4 microJ. The narrowband mid-IR pulses are well suited for 2D IR spectroscopy.

The artistic and scientific perspectives of the translucent color organic solar cells (OSCs), made with the emerging narrowband nonfullerene acceptors are explored. The translucent color OSCs, comprising a Fabry-Pérot microcavity optical coupling layer, have a power conversion efficiency of >15% and a maximum transparency of >20% for the three primary colors. The performance-color relationship of the translucent color OSCs is analyzed using a combination of high-throughput optical computing and experimental optimization, allowing light with desired color to pass through, while absorbing enough light to generate electricity.

The development of narrowband emissive, bright, and stable solution-processed organic light-emitting diodes (SP-OLEDs) remains a challenge. Here, a strategy is presented that merges within a single emitter a TADF sensitizer responsible for exciton harvesting and an MR-TADF motif that provides bright and narrowband emission. This emitter design also shows strong resistance to aggregate formation and aggregation-cause quenching.

Background And Aim: Qualitative diagnosis of ulcerative colitis-associated neoplasia (UCAN) is crucial for surveillance colonoscopy in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). Although the utility of magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging (ME-NBI) in sporadic neoplasia diagnosis has been reported, its efficacy in UCAN remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of ME-NBI for qualitative diagnosis of UCAN.
