Filtered Rayleigh scattering (FRS) is applied to determine two-dimensional temperature distributions in a hexamethyldisiloxane loaded propane/air flame intended for combustion chemical vapor deposition processes. An iodine cell as a molecular filter suppresses background scattering, e.g., by particles, while the wings of the spectrally broadened Rayleigh scattering can pass this filter. A frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser is tuned to a strong absorption line of iodine. The gas temperature is deduced from the transmitted Rayleigh scattering signal. Since FRS also depends on molecule-specific scattering cross sections, the local gas composition of majority species is measured using the Raman scattering technique. Limits and restrictions are discussed.

Several neurodegenerative diseases are associated with the deposition of amyloid fibrils. Although these diseases are irreversible, knowing the aggregation mechanism is useful in developing drugs that can arrest or decrease the aggregation rate. In this study, we are interested in investigating the effect of Coomassie brilliant blue (CBB G-250) on the aggregation of hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) at pH 7.

Extracellular vesicle (EV) monitoring can complement clinical assessment of cancer response. In this study, patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) undergoing osimertinib, alectinib, pembrolizumab or platinum-based chemotherapy ± pembrolizumab were enrolled. EVs were characterized using Bradford assay to quantify the circulating cell-free EV protein content (cfEV), and dynamic light scattering to assess Rayleigh ratio excess at 90°, z-averaged hydrodynamic diameter and polydispersity index.

Advancements in Raman light sheet microscopy have provided a powerful, non-invasive, marker-free method for imaging complex 3D biological structures, such as cell cultures and spheroids. By combining 3D tomograms made by Rayleigh scattering, Raman scattering, and fluorescence detection, this modality captures complementary spatial and molecular data, critical for biomedical research, histology, and drug discovery. Despite its capabilities, Raman light sheet microscopy faces inherent limitations, including low signal intensity, high noise levels, and restricted spatial resolution, which impede the visualization of fine subcellular structures.

By utilizing chirp-BOK (binary orthogonal keying) modulation into a troposphere scattering communication system, a lower demodulation threshold can be achieved with excellent linear frequency modulation properties in a strong noise and weak signal environment. Firstly, the bit error rate (BER) formula of chirp-BOK modulation over a Rayleigh fading channel was derived theoretically. Then, the BER performance with different chirp-BOK parameters were numerically calculated.

An optical biosensor is a specialized analytical device that utilizes the principles of optics and light in bimolecular processes. Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) is a phenomenon in the realm of nanophotonics that occurs when metallic nanoparticles (NPs) or nanostructures interact with incident light. Conversely, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is an influential analytical technique based on Raman scattering, wherein it amplifies the Raman signals of molecules when they are situated near specific and specially designed nanostructures.
