The evanescent wave fluorescence immunosensor, which employs evanescent wave produced in interface of the waveguide when the light transmits on the manner of total internal reflection in the waveguide, is relatively new kind of sensor on the basis of fluorescence immunoassay principle. This sensor has many advantages including strong specificity, high sensitivity, rapid detection, cost-effective and simple operation, which will be widely applied for environmental detection, clinical medicine and food industry. The principle, structure and characteristics of evanescent wave fluorescence immunosensors were covered and the applications of this kind of sensor in environmental detection were introduced.

As batteries drive the transition to electrified transportation and energy systems, ensuring their quality, reliability, lifetime, and safety is crucial. While the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is known to govern these performance characteristics, its dynamic nature makes understanding its nucleation, growth, and composition an ambitious, yet elusive aspiration. This work employs chalcogenide fibres embedded in negative electrode materials for operando Infra-red Fibre-optic Evanescent Wave Spectroscopy (IR-FEWS), combined with Multivariate Curve Resolution by Alternating Least Squares (MCR-ALS) algorithms for spectra analysis.

Fabry disease (FD) is a rare disorder resulting from a genetic mutation characterized by the accumulation of sphingolipids in various cells throughout the human body, leading to progressive and irreversible organ damage, particularly in males. Genetically-determined deficiency or reduced activity of the enzyme (alpha - Galactosidase; α-Gal) leads to the accumulation of sphingolipids in the lysosomes of various cell types, including the heart, kidneys, skin, eyes, central nervous system, and digestive system, triggering damage, leading to the failure of vital organs, and resulting in progressive disability and premature death. FD diagnostics currently depend on costly and time-intensive genetic tests and enzymatic analysis, often leading to delayed or inaccurate diagnoses, which contribute to rapid disease progression.

Utilizing an evanescent coupling scheme between a silicon waveguide and a III-V structure, the device exhibits a room temperature responsivity of 1.23 and 1.

Effective monitoring of intermediate-phase evolution is beneficial to the control of crystal quality. However, it is difficult to realize.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFMetasurfaces have demonstrated significant potential in optical encryption and anti-counterfeiting due to their incredible capability of manipulating various light properties. However, previous metasurface-encryption methods did not sufficiently explore the spatial frequency aspect, particularly regarding evanescent waves. Here, we propose an encryption scheme by introducing evanescent waves into the encoding and decoding processes.
