A highly selectivity determination of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) has been described in the article. Antibody immobilized cysteamine (Cys) functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNP) were proposed as immunosensors, and resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) was used for detection. First, Cys stabilized AuNPs (Cys-AuNP) were prepared by the reduction of chloroauric acid with sodium borohydride in the presence of Cys. Further, anti-EGFR antibody (Cetuximab, C225) was covalently linked to the Cys-AuNP by carbodiimide-mediated amidation protocol to yield the C225-AuNP immunoprobe. The prepared conjugations were characterized by ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Based on the specific binding of C225 to EGFR, an RRS method was established to determine the concentration of EGFR. Under the optimal conditions, the concentration of EGFR was related to the intensity of RRS in the range 30-130 ng ml with a low detection limit of 4.0 ng ml . Meanwhile, the proposed immunosensor exhibited excellent selectivity and anti-interference property. The method was applied to the determination of EGFR in human serum and cancer cell lysate samples with satisfactory results.

In the last decade, substantial progress has been made to improve the performance of optical gyroscopes for inertial navigation applications in terms of critical parameters such as bias stability, scale factor stability, and angular random walk (ARW). Specifically, resonant fiber optic gyroscopes (RFOGs) have emerged as a viable alternative to widely popular interferometric fiber optic gyroscopes (IFOGs). In a conventional RFOG, a single-wavelength laser source is used to generate counter-propagating waves in a ring resonator, for which the phase difference is measured in terms of the resonant frequency shift to obtain the rotation rate.

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.

Accurate Rayleigh and Raman scattering cross sections, tensor components, depolarization ratios, and reversal coefficients for all rovibrational transitions within the X1Σg+ ground electronic state of H2 have been calculated. Raman spectra have been generated using these data. A method for calculating Raman scattering cross sections is formulated that is valid below the ionization threshold and in the region containing resonances, which explicitly accounts for all bound and dissociative vibrational levels of the bound intermediate electronic states and approximately accounts for the ionization continuum.

A new magnetic-liquid crystal nanosurface molecularly imprinted polymer (5CB-FeO@MIP) resonance Rayleigh scattering temperature sensor was prepared, using liquid crystal 4'-cyano-4'-pentylbiphenyl as the temperature sensing element, nano-FeO as the substrate, methacrylic acid as the functional monomer and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as the crosslinking agent. It was characterized by molecular spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The thermosensitive effect of 11 liquid crystals, that is, the relationship between RRS and temperature, was studied.

Unusual photophysical and scattering behavior is described for hyperbranched poly(phenylene sulfide) materials. These materials show interactions between the π systems of the aromatic monomer units in both ground and excited states, resulting in broad ranges for absorption and emission of light. The materials also display unusual scattering behavior; this is attributed to enhanced scattering by delocalized excited states resulting from the monomer unit interactions.
