The photoluminescence intensity of group III nitrides, nanowires, and heterostructures (NWHs) strongly depends on the environmental H(2) and O(2) concentration. We used this opto-chemical transducer principle for the realization of a gas detector. To make this technology prospectively available to commercial gas-monitoring applications, a large-scale laboratory setup was miniaturized. To this end the gas-sensitive NWHs were integrated with electro-optical components for optical addressing and read out within a compact and robust sensor system. This paper covers the entire realization process of the device from its conceptual draft and optical design to its fabrication and assembly. The applied approaches are verified with intermediate results of profilometric characterizations and optical performance measurements of subsystems. Finally the gas-sensing capabilities of the integrated detector are experimentally proven and optimized.

The present study proposes an innovative opto-chemical treatment using a basket-integrated optical device (BIOD) to disinfect mature bacterial biofilm on endoscope channels. A BIOD was designed to position an optical diffuser on the central axis of an endoscope channel and to distribute laser light concentrically to the bacterial biofilm on the channel surface. To apply thermal damage and oxidative stress to the bacterial biofilm, a low concentration of a crosslinking agent (glutaraldehyde ~0.

Medical societies and public health agencies rigorously emphasize the importance of adequate disinfection of flexible endoscopes. The aim of this work was to propose a novel opto-chemical disinfection treatment against grown in mature biofilm on Teflon-based endoscope channel models. Laser irradiation using near-infrared and blue wavelengths combined with a low concentration of chemical disinfectant induced both irreversible thermal denaturation and intercellular oxidative stress as a combined mechanism for an augmented antimicrobial effect.

The importance of the research on Bioregenerative Life Support has increased dramatically in the last decade not only with regard to possible space flight application but also as a way to obtain a better understanding of our Earth's ecology. A major goal was to reach long-term stability of artificial model systems. Preliminary data are presented on the development of an improved aquatic system, currently dedicated for ground-based research.
