Herein, a home-build fiber optic surface plasmon resonance (FO-SPR) biosensing platform has been developed for highly sensitive detection of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF-BB) based aptamer-functionalized AuNPs for signal enhancement. In this biosensor, the PDGF-BB aptamer was used to specifically capture PDGF-BB, and the antifouling peptide demonstrated great ability for resisting non-specific adsorption. After a sandwich reaction, the aptamer, PDGF-BB and aptamer-functionalized AuNPs complexes were formed on the fiber optic (FO) probe surface to significantly amplify FO-SPR signal. This method exhibited a broad detection range from 1 to 1000 pM of PDGF-BB and a low detection limit of 0.35 pM. Moreover, this biosensor was successfully applied to the detection of PDGF-BB in 10% human serum samples without suffering from serious interference owing to the excellent antifouling property of the peptide. Thus, this developed FO-SPR biosensor could be a potential alternative device for proteins determination, even as a point-of-care diagnostic tool (POCT) in clinical application.

To address the pressing demand for hyphenated characterization of the electrode-electrolyte interfaces at the molecular level, we report herein a technical note to demonstrate the hyphenation of electrochemical surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy (SEIRAS) and shell-isolated nanoparticle enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SHINERS). The core setup incorporates a top-down configured Raman optic fiber head loaded on a 3-dimension positioning module and a bottom-up configured attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy (ATR-IR) spectroelectrochemical cell accommodated in a custom-designed optical accessory. The feasibility of this integrated design is initially validated by the simultaneous measurement of two model systems, namely, potential dependent adsorption of pyridine on a Au film electrode and the CO reduction reaction on a Cu film electrode by SEIRAS and SHINERS, yielding distinct and complementary spectral information.

Following the industrial revolution and the modernization of chemistry, purple became one of the most popular colors in the palettes of late 19th- to 20th-century painters. Among them, Robert Delaunay (1885-1941) was one of the key artists of the avant-garde movement in France in the early 20th century. Although widely used in modern and contemporary paintings, inorganic purple pigments of the cobalt phosphate and cobalt arsenate families have been little studied chemically until now.

Real-time online monitoring of track deformation during railway construction is crucial for ensuring the safe operation of trains. However, existing monitoring technologies struggle to effectively monitor both static and dynamic events, often resulting in high false alarm rates. This paper presents a monitoring technology for track deformation during railway construction based on dynamic Brillouin optical time-domain reflectometry (Dy-BOTDR), which effectively meets requirements in the monitoring of both static and dynamic events of track deformation.

In this study, we experimentally demonstrate a PPLN-based free-space to SMF (single-mode fiber) conversion system capable of efficient long-wavelength down-conversion from 518 nm, optimized for minimal loss in highly turbid water, to 1540 nm, which is ideal for low-loss transmission in standard SMF. Leveraging the nonlinear optical properties of periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN), we achieve a wavelength conversion efficiency of 1.6% through difference frequency generation while maintaining a received optical signal-to-noise ratio of 10.

In recent years, civil engineering has increasingly embraced communication tools for automation, with sensors playing a pivotal role, especially in structural health monitoring (SHM). These sensors enable precise data acquisition, measuring parameters like force, displacement, and temperature and transmit data for timely interventions to prevent failures. This approach reduces reliance on manual inspections, offering more accurate outcomes.
