High-power photodiode applications for multioctave high dynamic range links are presented. A review of modulator and photodiode distortion analysis is given as well as an introduction to polarization-dependent loss distortion as it pertains to such systems. A new analysis of the photodiode distortion contributed degradation of spurious free dynamic range (SFDR) is developed. Experimental data covers high-power photodiodes for zero-bias high dynamic range links, showing significant improvement in SFDR. A link is presented showing the degradation of link performance when polarization-dependent loss is added into the system. A summary of state-of-the-art device performance is covered as well as the outlook on future applications for power photodiodes in analog photonic links requiring high SFDR.

Supercontinuum generation in scintillator crystals.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Laser Research Center, Vilnius University, Saulėtekio Avenue 10, LT-10223, Vilnius, Lithuania.

We present a comparative experimental study of supercontinuum generation in undoped scintillator crystals: bismuth germanate (BGO), yttrium orthosilicate (YSO), lutetium oxyorthosilicate (LSO), lutetium yttrium oxyorthosilicate (LYSO) and gadolinium gallium garnet (GGG), pumped by 180 fs fundamental harmonic pulses of an amplified Yb:KGW laser. In addition to these materials, experiments in yttrium aluminium garnet (YAG), potassium gadolinium tungstate (KGW) and lithium tantalate (LT) were performed under identical experimental settings (focusing geometry and sample thickness), which served for straightforward comparison of supercontinuum generation performances. The threshold and optimal (that produces optimized red-shifted spectral extent) pump pulse energies for supercontinuum generation were evaluated from detailed measurements of spectral broadening dynamics.

Inhibitory mechanisms of galloylated forms of theaflavins on α-glucosidase.

Int J Biol Macromol

January 2025

School of Biological and Chemical Engineering, NingboTech University, Ningbo 315100, China. Electronic address:

Theaflavins, oxidation product of tea polyphenols, have demonstrated significant inhibitory effects on α-glucosidase, which is beneficial in alleviating hyperglycemia. This study found that the inhibition of four monomers of theaflavins on α-glucosidase was related to the presence of the galloyl moiety (GM), with IC values ranging from TFDG (0.26 mg/mL) < TF3'G (0.

Extraction of cellulose nanocrystals from date seeds using transition metal complex-assisted hydrochloric acid hydrolysis.

Int J Biol Macromol

January 2025

Chemical and Petroleum Engineering Department, College of Engineering, United Arab Emirates University, PO Box 15551, Al Ain, United Arab Emirates. Electronic address:

In this study, the role of a transition metal complex in improving hydrolysis efficiency during nanocellulose production was analysed. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were extracted from date seeds by incorporating a copper metal complex during HCl hydrolysis. In contrast to traditional HCl hydrolysis at moderate conditions, which yielded only microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), this approach resulted in the extraction of CNCs with a 10 % improved yield compared to MCC.

The challenge of increasing food production while maintaining environmental sustainability can be addressed by using biofertilizers such as Azospirillum, which can enhance plant growth and colonize more than 100 plant species. The success of this biotechnology depends on the amount of plant growth-promoting bacteria associated with the plant during crop development. However, monitoring bacterial population dynamics after inoculation requires time-consuming, laborious, and costly procedures.

Given the complexities of continuous bioprocessing, it is critical to thoroughly investigate the process parameters unique to multi-column chromatography (MCC) and their potential impacts. However, existing studies have focused on either loading densities or residence time at steady states only, and their combined impact on critical quality attributes (CQAs) especially during transient phases were less known. In this study, we investigated the impact of critical process parameters during both steady-state and transient phases (start-up, close-down, and intermediate perturbation) through full factorial design.
