An approach extracting information of both optical monitoring signal and phase thickness of deposited layer on a trace diagram is proposed. Realtime fitting and calculation are performed to get both practical thickness and refractive index of deposited layer with the assist of quartz crystal monitoring for keeping steady rate of deposition. Monitoring error of thickness using this approach is analyzed. It was used to obtain the refractive indices and thickness of Ge layer and SiO layer in in situ measurement mode, and the results were compared with those of ex-situ spectral measurement using infrared spectrometer. The effectiveness of the proposed monitoring method was verified by fabricating narrow bandpass filter consisting of quarter-wave and non-quarter-wave layers.

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.

Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with a high risk of developing microvascular complications such as diabetic nephropathy, diabetic neuropathy (DN), and diabetic retinopathy (DR), leading to significant morbidity. Early detection of these complications is crucial for improving patient outcomes. Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and urine albumin-creatinine ratio (UACR) show promise as cost-effective and accessible biomarkers for the early detection of microvascular complications in T2DM.

Global pandemic has emphasized the needs for advanced pathogen diagnosis in dealing with newly emerged infectious threats, including the Langya henipavirus (LayV). LayV, as an emerging zoonotic pathogen, has potential to cause pandemic, but lacks of rapid diagnostic tools, particularly at point-of-care level. Here, we leveraged the merits of CRISPR-Cas12a biosensing and established a highly sensitive LayV detection method.
