A far ir spectrometer has been built which uses a double pass optical system to increase the spectral dispersion. Because of the energy limitations in this spectral range, this means of increasing the dispersion is an efficient way to improve the resolving power of a grating monochromator. The same optical system is also used to advantage in a lamellar grating interferometer where the increased dispersion improves the performance at higher frequencies. Consideration is also given to instrument errors and signal noise which can affect, and in some cases limit, the present performance of a far ir Fourier interferometer.

Background: It remains unclear if the increased colorectal neoplasia detection rate in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) by high-definition (HD) dye-based chromoendoscopy compared with HD white-light endoscopy is due to enhanced contrast or increased inspection times. Longer withdrawal times may yield similar neoplasia detection rates as found by HD chromoendoscopy.

Objective: To compare colorectal neoplasia detection rates for HD white-light endoscopy with segmental re-inspection and HD chromoendoscopy, using single-pass HD white-light endoscopy as an additional control group.

Tuneable, variable, optical attenuation through an optical circulator with a broad, linear attenuation range of Δ ∼ (30-40) dB is demonstrated using non-reciprocal Faraday rotation in a double-pass configuration with a combination of permanent magnets and an electromagnet. A fiber-coupled magneto-optical variable optical attenuator (MVOA) operates over the near IR with an attenuation tuning range of Δ > 30 dB, a resolution of Δ ∼ 0.02 dB, a response time of  < 2 ms, and a temperature dependence over  = 25-70°C of Δ / Δ = -8 × 10 dB/°C.

Confronting escalating challenges in energy security and environmental sustainability has intensified interest in renewable sources for fuels and chemicals. Among the most promising alternatives, sugars derived from biomass are emerging as a cornerstone in advancing an environmentally sustainable economy. Within this framework, the development of sunlight-driven carbohydrate oxidation is of significant interest, as it enables the production of a broad spectrum of high-value, bio-sourced chemicals through eco-friendly processes.

In this study, we developed a double-layer colon-targeted microcapsule. It used the Maillard product of gelatin-isomaltooligosaccharide (GI180) and zein-shellac complex (ZS) as bio-based materials, plant extracts (MPL) and Lactobacillus plantarum JJBYG12 (JJBYG12) were co-encapsulated, endowing them with strong resistance to harsh environments and precise intestinal adhesion and targeting ability. The research results indicated that ZS11 exhibits hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions.
