We report the use of optofluidic hollow-core photonic crystal fibres as microreactors for Stern-Volmer (SV) luminescence quenching analysis of visible-light photocatalytic reactions. This technology enables measurements on nanolitre volumes and paves the way for automated SV analyses in continuous flow that minimise catalyst and reagent usage. The method is showcased using a recently developed photoredox-catalysed α-C-H alkylation reaction of unprotected primary alkylamines.

This study presents an innovative methane gas sensor design based on anti-resonant hollow-core fiber (AR-HCF) technology, optimized for high-precision detection at 3.3[Formula: see text]. Our numerical analysis explores the geometric optimization of the AR-HCF's structural parameters, incorporating real-world component specifications.

They may also serve as the interconnect between different components of a hybrid architecture, which might comprise atomic and solid-state platforms operating at visible or near-infrared wavelengths, as well as optical links in the telecom band. Quantum frequency conversion is the pathway to change the color of a single photon while preserving its quantum state.

Hollow core optical fibers of numerous guiding mechanisms have been studied in the past decades for their advantages on guiding light in air core. This work demonstrates a new hollow core optical fiber based on a different guiding mechanism, which confines light with a cladding made of epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) material through total internal reflection. We show that the addition of a layer of ENZ material coating (e.

Significance: Extending the photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) into the mid-infrared (MIR) molecular fingerprint region constitutes a promising route toward label-free imaging of biological molecular structures. Realizing this objective requires a high-energy nanosecond MIR laser source. However, existing MIR laser technologies are limited to either low pulse energy or free-space structure that is sensitive to environmental conditions.
