Published: February 2014

We present the hyperspectral imaging capabilities of in-line interferometric femtosecond stimulated Raman scattering. The beneficial features of this method, namely, the improved signal-to-background ratio compared to other applicable broadband stimulated Raman scattering methods and the simple experimental implementation, allow for a rather fast acquisition of three-dimensional raster-scanned hyperspectral data-sets, which is shown for PMMA beads and a lipid droplet in water as a demonstration. A subsequent application of a principle component analysis displays the chemical selectivity of the method.

Nanoscale surface topography is an effective approach in modulating cell-material interactions, significantly impacting cellular and nuclear morphologies, as well as their functionality. However, the adaptive changes in cellular metabolism induced by the mechanical and geometrical microenvironment of the nanotopography remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the metabolic activities in cells cultured on engineered nanopillar substrates by using a label-free multimodal optical imaging platform.

Orchestrated desaturation reprogramming from stearoyl-CoA desaturase to fatty acid desaturase 2 in cancer epithelial-mesenchymal transition and metastasis.

Background: Adaptative desaturation in fatty acid (FA) is an emerging hallmark of cancer metabolic plasticity. Desaturases such as stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) and fatty acid desaturase 2 (FADS2) have been implicated in multiple cancers, and their dominant and compensatory effects have recently been highlighted. However, how tumors initiate and sustain their self-sufficient FA desaturation to maintain phenotypic transition remains elusive.

Photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) is a high-resolution and non-invasive imaging modality that provides optical absorption contrast. By employing dual- or multiple-wavelength excitation, PAM extends its capabilities to offer valuable spectroscopic information. To achieve efficient multispectral PAM imaging, an essential requirement is a light source characterized by a high repetition rate and switching rate, a ≈microjoule pulse energy, and a ≈nanosecond pulse duration.

Transverse mode instability (TMI) significantly limits the power scaling of ytterbium-doped fiber lasers. In this Letter, what we believe to be a novel TMI mitigation strategy is proposed and demonstrated in a bidirectional output fiber laser. On the basis of the continuous wave (CW) pump, integrating a quasi-continuous wave (QCW) pump can effectively improve the TMI threshold of the system.

Light-matter interaction is a long-standing promising topic that can be dated back to a few centuries ago and has witnessed the long-term debate between the particle and wave nature of light. In modern condensed matter physics and materials science, light usually serves as a detection tool to effectively characterize the physical and chemical features of samples. The light modulation on intrinsic properties of materials, such as atomic geometries, electronic bands, and magnetic behaviors, is more intriguing for information control and storage.
