We report the first demonstration of deep ultraviolet (DUV) Raman imaging of a cell. Nucleotide distributions in a HeLa cell were observed without any labeling at 257 nm excitation with resonant bands attributable to guanine and adenine. Obtained images represent DNA localization at nucleoli in the nucleus and RNA distribution in the cytoplasm. The presented technique extends the potential of Raman microscopy as a tool to selectively probe nucleic acids in a cell with high sensitivity due to resonance.

An all solid-state single-frequency 248 nm pulsed deep ultraviolet (DUV) source was realized based on multi-stage nonlinear frequency conversions of a 1064 nm fundamental driver. In detail, a 355 nm source, which is the third harmonic wave of 1064 nm laser, and an 827 nm source, which is the signal of an optical parametric oscillator (OPO) pumped by 532 nm laser, are combined for sum-frequency generation (SFG) to get the target wavelength of 248 nm. Finally, an average power of ∼120 mW was obtained at a 4 kHz repetition rate with a pulse width of 4.

Background: Conjunctival malignant melanoma is an aggressive tumor with the potential for metastasis and death. It is rare in the black population because of the protective effect of melanin. Metastases are usually to regional lymph nodes, most commonly the preauricular nodes, deep cervical lymph nodes, and the salivary gland.

Gallium oxide (GaO), an ultrawide bandgap semiconductor, is an ideal material for solar-blind photodetectors, but challenges such as low responsivity and response speed persist. In this paper, one-dimensional (1D) GaO nanorods were designed to achieve high photodetection performance due to their effective light absorption and light field confinement. Through modulating source concentration, pH value, temperature, and reaction time, 1D β-GaO nanorods were controllably fabricated using a cost-effective hydrothermal method, followed by post-annealing.

Using a heterogeneous metal Nano Hemisphere on Mirror (NHoM) structure, composed of an AlO thin film and Au nano-hemispheres formed on a thick Al film, we successfully generated two distinct surface plasmon resonance (SPR) peaks: one in the ultraviolet (UV) wavelength range below 400 nm and another in the visible range between 600 and 700 nm. This NHoM structure can be fabricated through a straightforward process involving deposition, sputtering, and annealing, enabling rapid, large-area formation. By adjusting the thickness of the AlO spacer layer in the NHoM structure, we precisely controlled the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) wavelength, spanning a wide range from the UV to the visible spectrum.
