All-fiber Raman lasers have demonstrated their potential for efficient conversion of highly multimode pump beams into high-quality Stokes beams. However, the modal content of these beams has not yet been investigated. In this work, based on a mode decomposition technique, we are able to reveal the details of intermodal interactions in the different operation regimes of continuous wave multimode graded-index fiber Raman lasers. We observed that, above the laser threshold, the residual pump beam is strongly depleted in its transverse modes with principal quantum number below 10. However, the generated Stokes signal beam mainly consists of the fundamental mode, but higher-order modes are also present, albeit with exponentially decreasing population.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technology has attracted more and more attention due to its high sensitivity, low water interference, and quick measurement. Constructing high-performance SERS substrates with high sensitivity, uniformity and reproducibility is of great importance to put the SERS technology into practical application. In this paper, we report a simple fabrication process to construct dense silver-coated PMMA nanoparticles-on-a-mirror SRES substrates.

The present study demonstrates the applicability of non-destructive and rapid spectroscopic techniques, specifically laser-induced fluorescence, ultraviolet-visible, and confocal micro-Raman spectroscopy, as non-invasive, eco-friendly, and robust multi-compound analytical methods for assessing biochemical changes in maize seedling leaves resulting from the treatment of aluminium oxide nanoparticles. The recorded fluorescence spectrum of the leaves shows that the treatment of different concentration of aluminium oxide nanoparticles decreases the chlorophyll content as observed by the increase in fluorescence emission intensity ratio (FIR = I/I). The analysis of ultraviolet-visible absorption measurements reveals that the amount of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll and carotenoid decrease for treated plants with respect to untreated seedlings.

In situ optical analytical spectroscopies offer great geochemical insights due to their capability to resolve the chemical composition of regolith surfaces of rocky celestial bodies. The use of suitable calibration targets improves the precision of mineral determination, which is of critical importance for short-living, low-mobility landers, and enables, in special cases, determination of elemental composition. We investigate the capabilities of three space-relevant optical analytical techniques used for in situ mineralogical analysis, i.

Non-invasive glucose monitoring represents a significant advancement in diabetes management and treatment as non-painful alternatives than finger-sticks tests. After developing an integrated Raman spectral system with a 785 nm laser, this study systematically explores the application of in vivo Raman spectroscopy for quantitative, noninvasive glucose monitoring. In addition to observing characteristic glucose spectral information from a mouse model, a strong spectral correlation was also recognized with the blood glucose concentration.
