In this paper, a gas refractometer based on microfiber Sagnac interferometer is demonstrated, which can achieve an ultrahigh sensitivity when operating at the group birefringence turning point. We undertake a theoretical analysis and a simulated calculation to study the device characteristics and obtain the specific parameters of ellipticity and long axis of the elliptic microfiber for the group birefringence turning point. In the experiment, we obtain a positive sensitivity of 0.295 nm/KPa and a negative sensitivity of -0.219 nm/KPa during gas pressure and refractive index (RI) sensing, the obtained highest RI sensitivity can reach 160,938.9 nm/RIU. To further reveal its practical potential in gas detection, we conduct CO gas concentration detection and the device also demonstrates ultrahigh sensitivity and good repeatability. Besides, temperature sensing is performed to explore its temperature response wherein it shows a sensitivity of 486.7 pm/ °C. These results show its potential for use in gas- and acoustic-sensing applications.

For non-π-conjugated [SO] units, it is challenging to generate sufficient birefringence, owing to the high symmetry of the regular tetrahedron. Unlike the traditional trial-and-error approach, we propose a new paradigm for birefringence engineering to tune the optical properties based on [SO] units. Through the strategy of ligand substitution, we can predict its effect on the band gap and anisotropy.

Advancing laser technologies requires maximizing the anisotropy of crystalline media and overcoming current birefringence limitations. We introduce the strategy of linear π group anisotropic structure building units (ABUCB), leading to an unprecedented large birefringence (Δn), a record-high Δnobv. of 0.

Enhancing the conversion efficiency of all-solid-state lasers through the rational design of crystal materials with superior linear and nonlinear optical (NLO) properties remains a formidable challenge. Herein, we present a novel approach to optimizing these properties in KBe2BO3F2 (KBBF)-analog crystals via functional group self-polymerization. This strategy led to the synthesis of two new optical crystals: noncentrosymmetric CsAs2O3Br and centrosymmetric CsAs4O6Br.

Skin wounds are extremely frequent injuries related to many etiologies. They are a burden on healthcare systems worldwide. Skin dressings are the most popular therapy, and collagen is the most commonly used biomaterial, although new sources of collagen have been studied, especially spongin-like from marine sponges (SPG), as a promising source due to a similar composition to vertebrates and the ability to function as a cell-matrix adhesion framework.

In recent years, hydroxyborates with excellent properties have attracted much attention. Through dedicated efforts, three new hydroxyborates-KBO(OH), CsBO(OH), and CsBO(OH)-have been successfully synthesized in a closed system. The ultraviolet (UV) cut-off edges of both KBO(OH) and CsBO(OH) are below 200 nm, indicating their potential as candidates for deep-ultraviolet (DUV) materials.
