We proposed and experimentally demonstrated a new scheme for enhancing the sensitivity of a fiber laser sensor using Brillouin slow light. The Brillouin laser was exposed to environmental vibrations, producing fluctuations at 408 kHz frequency, which were then interrogated using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. By introducing Brillouin slow light into one arm of the interferometer, the sensitivity increased by 1.57 times that of a device without slow light. We believe this scheme may provide a new way of using Brillouin slow light and that it has some important implications regarding the use of fiber sensors for measuring the vibration, temperature, strain and so on.

We present, for the first time, to our knowledge, power splitters with multiple channel configurations in one-dimensional grating waveguides (1DGWs) that maintain crystal lattice-sensitive Bloch mode profiles without perturbation across all output channels, all within an ultra-miniaturized footprint of just 2.1 × 2.2 μm.

Despite extensive research interest, this technique has long been hindered by slow acquisition speeds, due to the use of raster-scanned detectors or the slow response of intensified cameras. Here, we utilize a single-photon-sensitive time-stamping camera to perform QGI at ultra-low-light levels with rapid data acquisition and processing times, achieving high-resolution and high-contrast images in under 1 min.

Pampus argenteus, a species distributed throughout the Indo-West Pacific, plays a significant role in the yield of aquaculture species. However, cultured P. argenteus has always been characterised by unbalanced growth synchronisation among individuals, slow growth rate, and lack of excellent germplasm resources.

C-low threshold mechanoreceptors (C-LTMRs) in animals (termed C-tactile (CT) fibres in humans) are a subgroup of C-fibre primary afferents, which innervate hairy skin and respond to low-threshold punctate indentations and brush stimuli. These afferents respond to gentle touch stimuli and are implicated in mediating pleasant/affective touch. These afferents have traditionally been studied using low-throughput, technically challenging approaches, including microneurography in humans and teased fibre electrophysiology in other mammals.

Advancements in the development of fast-charging and long-lasting microstructured alloying anodes with high volumetric capacities are essential for enhancing the operational efficiency of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). These anodes, however, face challenges such as declined cyclability and rate capability, primarily due to mechanical degradation reduced by significant volumetric changes (over 252%) and slow kinetics of sodium-ion storage. Herein, we introduce a novel anode design featuring densely packed bismuth (Bi) embedded within highly conductive carbon microspheres to overcome the aforementioned challenges.
