Sorting Photons by Radial Quantum Number. | LitMetric

The Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) modes constitute a complete basis set for representing the transverse structure of a paraxial photon field in free space. Earlier workers have shown how to construct a device for sorting a photon according to its azimuthal LG mode index, which describes the orbital angular momentum (OAM) carried by the field. In this paper we propose and demonstrate a mode sorter based on the fractional Fourier transform to efficiently decompose the optical field according to its radial profile. We experimentally characterize the performance of our implementation by separating individual radial modes as well as superposition states. The reported scheme can, in principle, achieve unit efficiency and thus can be suitable for applications that involve quantum states of light. This approach can be readily combined with existing OAM mode sorters to provide a complete characterization of the transverse profile of the optical field.

Induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs) have emerged as a pivotal model for research. Specialized devices can generate Extracellular Field Potential (EFP) measurements from these cells, analogous to the ventricular complex of the electrocardiogram. However, electrophysiological analysis can be complex and requires specialized expertise, posing a barrier to broader adoption in non-specialized labs.

Light-driven plasmonic microrobot for nanoparticle manipulation.

Nat Commun

March 2025

Nano-Optics and Biophotonics Group, Experimentelle Physik 5, Physikalisches Institut, Universität Würzburg, Am Hubland, Würzburg, Germany.

Recently light-driven microdrones have been demonstrated, making use of plasmonic nanomotors based on directional resonant chiral light scattering. These nanomotors can be addressed individually, without requiring the tracking of a focused laser, leading to exceptional 2D maneuverability which renders microdrones a versatile robotic platform in aqueous environments. Here, we incorporate a light-operated manipulator, a plasmonic nano-tweezer, into the microdrone platform, rendering it a microrobot by enabling precise, all-optical transport and delivery of single nanoparticles suspended in solution.

Oral fluorescein angiography in pediatric ophthalmology.

Surv Ophthalmol

March 2025

Department of Ophthalmology, Jones Eye Institute, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Little Rock, AR, USA; Department of Ophthalmology, Boston Children's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA. Electronic address:

We evaluate the administration protocols, diagnostic utility, and safety of oral fluorescein angiography (OFA) in pediatric ophthalmological diseases, with a secondary objective of comparing OFA to intravenous fluorescein angiography (IVFA) in terms of image quality and clinical utility. A comprehensive search of PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science was conducted, focusing on studies involving pediatric patients. Fifteen studies were included, with 11 assessing the utility and safety of OFA and 4 comparing it to IVFA.
