A closed-loop servo control based on balancing the gain of two probing frequencies is proposed for real-time Brillouin optical time-domain analysis (BOTDA) without post-processing. With the most basic BOTDA hardware setup, the system can perform measurement in 150 ms and track a sudden Brillouin frequency shift (BFS) change in excess of 300 MHz (corresponding to a temperature change of more than 250°C) over ∼5 km of fiber with a spatial resolution of 2 m. Moreover, the feedback loop is independent of the loss experienced by the probe and pump, with no requirement on the BFS uniformity along the fiber. All these advantages make the proposed system suitable for field applications in harsh environments.

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 work, Brillouin light-scattering spectroscopy and optical backscattering reflectometry (OBR) using Mg-silica-NP-doped distributed sensing fibers were employed for monitoring local GHz visco-elastic properties and surface temperature, respectively, laser driven heating and ablation of chicken tissues. The spatial temperature distribution measured by OBR at various infrared laser heating powers and times was used to validate spatio-temporal local temperature variations modeled by the finite element method via solving Pennes' bioheat conduction equation. The reduction of viscosity and stiffness in chicken skin during its laser heating was attributed to water loss, protein denaturation and change in lipid phase behavior.

Article Synopsis
- Photonics-assisted microwave frequency measurement methods (MFM) have great potential for radar and communication due to their wide bandwidth and resistance to electronic interference.
- The paper proposes a new high-precision MFM method that combines frequency-to-time mapping (FTTM) and frequency-to-power mapping (FTPM) to improve measurement accuracy while maintaining real-time performance.
- The developed system can sweep at 20 GHz/μs over a range of 1-18 GHz, achieving a measurement error of less than 10 MHz and frequency resolution of 40 MHz.

Hypothesis: Acoustic levitation is a suitable approach for studying processes occurring at the gas-liquid interfaces, as it allows its investigation in a contact-free manner while providing control over the gas phase. Here, we hypothesize that phase transitions induced by a CO rich atmosphere can be examined, at different length scales, in a contact-free manner.
Experimental: A system consisting of 12-hydroxysteric acid (HSA) soaps mixed with different ratios of monoethanolamine (MEA) and choline hydroxide, was prepared.

Noninvasive in situ monitoring of viscoelastic characteristics of corneal tissue at elevated temperatures is pivotal for mechanical property-informed refractive surgery techniques, including thermokeratoplasty and photorefractive keratectomy, requiring precise thermal modifications of the corneal structure during these surgical procedures. This study harnesses Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy as a biosensing platform to noninvasively probe the viscoelastic properties of ovine corneas across a temperature range of 25-64 °C. By submerging the tissue samples in silicone oil, consistent hydration and immiscibility are maintained, allowing for their accurate sensing of temperature-dependent mechanical behaviors.
