One important niche for multi-wavelength resonators is the filtration of suspensions containing very high particle concentration. For some applications, multi-wavelength ultrasound enhanced sedimentation filters are second only to the centrifuge in efficiency but, unlike the centrifuge they are easily adapted for continuous flow. Multi-wavelength resonators are also an obvious consideration when half-wavelength chambers are too small for a specific application. Unfortunately the formula, bigger = higher-throughput, does not scale linearly. Here we describe the relationships between chamber size and throughput for acoustic, electrical, flow and thermal convection actions, allowing the user to define initial parameters for their specific applications with some confidence. We start with a review of some of the many forms of multi-wavelength particle manipulation systems.

The synthesis of multi-wavelength emission fluorescent metal-organic framework sensors has received widespread attention in recent years. Under solvothermal conditions, a series of triple-emission fluorescent sensors were fabricated by in situ encapsulation of red emitting Eosin Y and green emitting 9,10-bis(phenylethynyl)anthracene (BPEA) into a blue emitting naphthalene-based Zr-MOF. By combining the dye quantity regulation and the resonance energy transfer between MOFs and dyes, the single-phase EY&BPEA@Zr-MOFs exhibited tunable triple-emission fluorescence.

Here, we employ the nonlinear transfer matrix modeling method to investigate multi-wavelength nonlinear (sum- or difference-) frequency generation within an integrated THz (idler) laser cavity that also supports optical (pump and signal) waves. The laser cavity includes an aperiodic lattice, which engineers the idler photon lifetimes and effective refractive indices.

Multi-wavelength emission fluorescent manganese-nitrogen co-doped carbon dots (Mn, N co-doped CDs) were synthesized by solvothermal method using β-cyclodextrin, O-phenylenediamine, and manganese chloride as raw materials. The prepared Mn, N co-doped CDs were used as fluorescent nanosensing platforms for the detection of metal ions and biomolecules and were found to be capable of fluorescence detection of tannic acid (TA) and hafnium (Hf) ion at 320, 380, and 480 nm excitation wavelengths with multi-response linear ranges of 0.7 ~ 1.

Article Synopsis
- Dielectric metasurfaces with quasi-bound states in the continuum (qBICs) can boost field enhancement through narrow resonances in the visible and near-infrared ranges.
- A new silicon-on-silica metasurface design supports up to four qBIC resonances by using an elliptical cylinder array with varied symmetry-breaking shapes.
- The study showcases the nonlinear process of four-wave mixing and highlights the potential applications in areas like information multiplexing and multi-wavelength sensing using the unique geometric control of qBICs.
One-dimensional (1D) gratings can control the intensity and direction of fluorescence emission, which are widely applied in biological detection. However, they are limited in bio-detection due to the small region for light-matter interaction. In this work, we propose a microfluidic channel with a dual-grating structure, which, as shown by numerical simulations, has excellent directional fluorescence enhancement, with an enhancement of more than 100-fold.
