We present a method using spectral interferometry (SI) to characterize a pulse in the presence of an incoherent background such as amplified spontaneous emission (ASE). The output of a regenerative amplifier is interfered with a copy of the pulse that has been converted using third-order cross-polarized wave generation (XPW). The ASE shows as a pedestal background in the interference pattern. The energy contrast between the short-pulse component and the ASE is retrieved. The spectra of the interacting beams are obtained through an improvement to the self-referenced spectral interferometry (SRSI) analysis.

Article Synopsis
- The study introduces a high-sensitivity temperature sensing system that leverages an enhanced Vernier effect using cascaded fiber loop interferometers.
- The new system overcomes limitations in traditional methods by manipulating two free spectrum ranges (FSRs) to simultaneously increase and decrease their values with temperature changes.
- Experimental results show that this enhanced system achieves a temperature sensitivity of 618.14 kHz/°C, which is significantly higher than both traditional methods and existing microwave interferometry systems, making it ideal for applications in fields like biometrics and smart technology.

Evaluating the quantum optical properties of solid-state single-photon emitters is a time-consuming task that typically requires interferometric photon correlation experiments. Photon correlation Fourier spectroscopy (PCFS) is one such technique that measures time-resolved single-emitter line shapes and offers additional spectral information over Hong-Ou-Mandel two-photon interference but requires long experimental acquisition times. Here, we demonstrate a neural ordinary differential equation model, g2NODE, that can forecast a complete and noise-free interferometry experiment from a small subset of noisy correlation functions.

A novel approach to developing lateral flow assays (LFAs) for the detection of CYFRA 21-1 (cytokeratin 19 fragment, a molecular biomarker for epithelial-origin cancers) is proposed. Magnetic bioconjugates (MBCs) were employed in combination with advanced optical and magnetic tools to optimize assay conditions. The approach integrates such techniques as label-free spectral-phase interferometry, colorimetric detection, and ultrasensitive magnetometry using the magnetic particle quantification (MPQ) technique.

The AC magnetic field response of the superparamagnetic nano-ferrofluid is an interplay between the Neel and Brownian relaxation processes and is generally quantified via the susceptibility measurements at high frequencies. The high frequency limit is dictated by these relaxation times which need to be shorter than the time scale of the time varying magnetic field for the nano-ferrofluid to be considered in an equilibrium state at each time instant. Even though the high frequency response of ferrofluid has been extensively investigated for frequencies up to GHz range by non-optical methods, harnessing dynamic response by optical means for AC magnetic field sensing in fiber-optic-based sensors-field remains unexplored.
