An optical CO(2) sensor based on the overlay of the CO(2) induced absorbance change of pH indicator dye alpha-naphtholphthalein in poly(isobutyl methacrylate) (polyIBM) layer with the fluorescence of tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) in polystyrene layer is developed. The observed luminescence intensity from TPP at 655nm increased with increasing the CO(2) concentration. The ratio I(100)/I(0) value of the sensing film consisting of alpha-naphtholphthalein in polyIBM and TPP in polystyrene layer, where I(0) and I(100) represent the detected luminescence intensities from a layer exposed to argon and CO(2) saturated conditions, respectively, that the sensitivity of the sensor, is estimated to be 192. The response and recovery times of the sensing film are less than 6.0s for switching from argon to CO(2), and for switching from CO(2) to argon. The signal changes are fully reversible and no hysterisis is observed during the measurements. The highly sensitive optical CO(2) sensor based on fluorescence intensity changes of TPP due to the absorption change of alpha-naphtholphthalein in polyIBM layer with CO(2) is achieved.

Burn scars present psychological and social challenges for patients, classified into atrophic and hypertrophic types. Treatments like corticosteroid injections, laser therapy, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections are commonly recommended for hypertrophic scars, while regenerative medicine and fractional CO2 lasers are linked to some degree of improvement for atrophic scars. Hypopigmented and depigmented burn scars pose ongoing challenges for healthcare providers and patients, with therapies such as intense pulsed light and fractional CO2 laser showing variable effects in treating these conditions.

In the past decade, interest in nanoplasmonic structures has experienced significant growth, owing to rapid advancements in materials science and the evolution of novel nanofabrication techniques. The activities in the area are not only leading to remarkable progress in specific applications in photonics, but also permeating to and synergizing with other fields. This review delves into the symbiosis between nanoplasmonics and microfluidics, elucidating fundamental principles on nanophotonics centered on surface plasmon-polaritons, and key achievements arising from the intricate interplay between light and fluids at small scales.

To address the pressing demand for hyphenated characterization of the electrode-electrolyte interfaces at the molecular level, we report herein a technical note to demonstrate the hyphenation of electrochemical surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy (SEIRAS) and shell-isolated nanoparticle enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SHINERS). The core setup incorporates a top-down configured Raman optic fiber head loaded on a 3-dimension positioning module and a bottom-up configured attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy (ATR-IR) spectroelectrochemical cell accommodated in a custom-designed optical accessory. The feasibility of this integrated design is initially validated by the simultaneous measurement of two model systems, namely, potential dependent adsorption of pyridine on a Au film electrode and the CO reduction reaction on a Cu film electrode by SEIRAS and SHINERS, yielding distinct and complementary spectral information.
