The coherent injection-locking and directly modulation of a long-cavity colorless laser diode with 1% end-facet reflectance and weak-resonant longitudinal modes is employed as an universal optical transmitter to demonstrated for optical 16-QAM OFDM transmission at 12 Gbit/s over 25 km in a DWDM-PON system. The optimized bias current of 30 mA (~1.5Ith) with corresponding extinction ratio (ER) of 6 dB and the external injection power of -9 dBm is (are) required for such a wavelength-locked universal transmitter to carry the 16-QAM and 122-subcarrier formatted OFDM and data-stream. By increasing external injection-locking from -9 dBm to 0 dBm, the peak-to-peak chirp of the OFDM data stream reduces from 7.7 to 5.4 GHz. The side mode suppression ratio (SMSR) of up to 50 dB is achieved with wider detuning range between -0.5 nm to 2.0 nm under an injection power of 0 dBm. By modulating such a colorless laser diode with an OFDM data stream of 122 subcarriers at a central carrier frequency of 1.5625 GHz and a total bandwidth of 3 GHz, the transmission data rate of up to 12 Gbit/s in standard single-mode fiber over 25 km is demonstrated to achieve an error vector magnitude (EVM) of 5.435%. Such a universal colorless DWDM-PON transmitter can deliver the optical OFDM data-stream at 12 Gbit/s QAM-OFDM data after 25-km transmission with a receiving power sensitivity of -7 dBm at BER of 3.6 × 10(-7) when pre-amplifying the OFDM data by 5 dB.

Identifying antioxidant phenolic compounds (APs) in food plays a crucial role in understanding their biological functions and associated health benefits. Here, a bifunctional Cu-1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (Cu-BTC) nanozyme was successfully prepared. Due to the excellent laccase-like behavior of Cu-BTC, it can catalyze the oxidation of various APs to produce colored quinone imines.

A novel photochromic system was discovered, in which leucomethylene blue, reduced by l-ascorbic acid, was irradiated with 405 nm visible light, resulting in the solution undergoing a colorless-to-blue transition. The process was then repeated, with the solution returning to its colorless state when left undisturbed. This photochromic reaction is sensitive enough to be driven by a blue-violet LED lamp and enables figures to be drawn in solution with a laser pointer.

Article Synopsis
  • - Understanding protein dynamics is essential for deciphering how proteins function, and time-resolved X-ray crystallography enhanced by X-ray free-electron lasers can capture structural changes at an atomic level, though interpreting this data can be complex due to differences between crystal and solution states.
  • - Time-resolved spectroscopy techniques, particularly time-resolved IR spectroscopy, provide a versatile approach to studying protein dynamics in both crystalline and solution phases, and are effective even for colorless proteins, revealing important chemical information.
  • - The chapter outlines a protocol for conducting time-resolved IR microspectroscopic measurements on protein microcrystals, detailing system setup, sample preparation, experimental conditions, and data analysis, while demonstrating the technique's advantages in comparing protein dynamics across different environments

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers studied a rare carbonate mineral called defernite found in a xenolith within the Upper Chegem Caldera's ignimbrite, characterized by its chemical formula Ca[(CO)(SiO)](OH)[Cl(HO)] with a unique fibrous structure.
  • Raman spectroscopy was used for detailed analysis, revealing specific vibration bands related to carbonate and hydroxyl groups, with significant findings around 1085 cm and 3590-3600 cm for these ion vibrations.
  • Experiments showed that laser light polarization affects band intensity, indicating hydrogen bonding influences, while temperature tests revealed instability of a specific vibration band at higher temperatures, aiding the understanding of defernite's structural properties.

The particulate and soluble matter present in aerosols from combustible cigarettes (CCs) and Heated Tobacco Products (HTPs) was collected in liquid water. These liquids, yellowish in the experiments with cigarettes and colourless after using HTPs, were analysed by Laser Diffraction (LD) and by Transmission Electron Microscopy coupled to Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (TEM-EDX) to study the amount, size, composition, and other features of the particulate matter (PM) present in the collected aerosols. The particulate matter concentration in HTPs samples is below the limit of quantification for LD, and only samples from cigarettes show a particulate matter concentration above such limit.
