The light amplification properties of fractal and asymmetric multilayer resonator structures which contain a light amplifying medium in the middle layer are studied theoretically. The amplitude gain of transmitted light is analyzed by use of two-dimensional plots which we denote gain maps. The gain map, which is plotted against two different structural parameters, illustrates some regularities in the location of gain peaks and bandgaps. Cantor structures exhibit gain peaks at the edges of multiple bandgaps, and those peaks are higher and sharper than those of periodic structures. Asymmetric resonator structures are found to provide more gain than symmetric ones when the gain length is short. A comparison between the gain and the group velocity of light is also presented, together with the electromagnetic energy distributions in the multilayers.

Viruses, known for causing widespread biological harm and even extinction, pose significant challenges to public health. Virus detection is crucial for accurate disease diagnosis and preventing the spread of infections. Recently, the outstanding analytical performance of CRISPR/Cas biosensors has shown great potential and they have been considered as augmenting methods for reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), which was the gold standard for nucleic acid detection.

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) accounts for approximately 10-15% of newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia cases and presents with coagulopathy and bleeding. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are required to minimize early mortality in APL as initiation of all-trans retinoic acid therapy rapidly reverses coagulopathy. The fusion is a hallmark of APL and its rapid identification is essential for rapid initiation of specific treatment to prevent early deaths from coagulopathy and bleeding and optimize patient outcomes.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) represents a compelling detection methodology centered on the electromagnetic fields, commonly termed "hot spots", generated around noble nanoparticles. Nonetheless, the efficacy of electromagnetic field (EMF) amplification is constrained when utilizing individual nanoparticles. There has been a notable lack of experimental and theoretically simulated studies regarding the increase of the electromagnetic field when gold nanorods with different aspect ratios undergo self-assembly in either perpendicular or parallel orientations to substrates.
