Published: June 2013

A diffractive optics design method based on a phase retrieval algorithm and carrier grating coding is modified to enable designing of photonic bandgap reflectances. Discrete and continuous signals are designed for a fiber grating to demonstrate the capability of the approach. The method is proved a versatile tool for synthesizing reflectance spectra of periodic structures.

Organoboron complexes have garnered significant attention due to their remarkable optical properties and diverse applications. However, synthesizing stable fused five-, six- and seven-membered organoboron complexes possess significant challenges. In this study, we successfully developed novel mono-nuclear (6-8 & 10) and di-nuclear (9) organoboron complexes supported by triaminoguanidine-salicylidene based -symmetric Schiff base ligands one-step condensation reaction with excess phenylboronic acid.

In this research, the preparation of copper cobaltite (CuCoO) nanorods and its potential application in photoelectrochemical sensing platform towards ultrasensitive detection of furazolidone are reported. X-ray diffraction, Raman spectra, scanning electron microscopy, and UV-visible spectroscopy have been performed to confirm the formation, morphology, phase composition, and optical properties of CuCoO synthesized by a microwave-assisted hydrothermal method. The electrochemical characteristic parameters were calculated electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry, and chronoamperometry techniques in the absence and presence of laser light irradiation.

Plasmonic surface lattice resonance (SLR) is a phenomenon in which individual localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs) excited in periodically-arranged plasmonic nanoparticles couple through the interaction with the propagating diffracted incident light. The SLR optical absorption peak is by at least one order of magnitude more intense than the LSPR one, making SLR superior for applications in which LSPR is commonly used. Recently, we have developed a route for the fabrication of spherical virus-like particles (VLPs) with plasmonic Au cores and protein coronas, where the LSPR in the cores amplifies vibrational Raman signals originating from protein-antibody interactions [ACS Synth.
