We demonstrated a long-range and centimeter-spatial-resolution optical frequency domain reflectometry (OFDR) system based on an ultra-linear broadband optical frequency sweep. The high nonlinear sweeping effect of the distributed feedback (DFB) diode laser was suppressed by a pre-distortion method, ensuring that the injection-locking process remained stable during fast tuning over a large span. An optical linear frequency sweep (LFS) with a sweep range and sweep rate of up to 60 GHz and 15 THz/s, respectively, was ultimately obtained by optimizing the injection-locking system. The high performance OFDR based on the proposed LFS achieved a sampling spatial resolution of 1.71 mm. Furthermore, distributed strain sensing was implemented with high-spatial resolutions of about 5 cm and 7 cm in the measurement range over 1 km and 2 km, respectively.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated how the COVID-19 pandemic affected patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) at Farabi Eye Hospital in Iran, comparing patients from before and during the pandemic.
  • A total of 375 patients were analyzed, revealing that those referred during the pandemic had quicker referral and surgical wait times, but no significant changes in clinical characteristics or surgical outcomes.
  • The use of general anesthesia increased during the pandemic period, prompting the need for further research into this trend.

Sequential addition of cations increases photoluminescence quantum yield of metal nanoclusters near unity.

State Key Laboratory of Integrated Optoelectronics, College of Electronic Science and Engineering, Jilin University, Changchun, P. R. China.

Photoluminescence is one of the most intriguing properties of metal nanoclusters derived from their molecular-like electronic structure, however, achieving high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of metal core-dictated fluorescence remains a formidable challenge. Here, we report efficient suppression of the total structural vibrations and rotations, and management of the pathways and rates of the electron transfer dynamics to boost a near-unity absolute PLQY, by decorating progressive addition of cations. Specifically, with the sequential addition of Zn, Ag, and Tb into the 3-mercaptopropionic acids capped Au nanoclusters (NCs), the low-frequency vibration of the metal core progressively decreases from 144.

How to diagnose glaucoma in myopic eyes by detecting structural changes?

Asia Pac J Ophthalmol (Phila)

January 2025

Department of Ophthalmology, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul National University Hospital, Seoul, Republic of Korea. Electronic address:

Myopia is rapidly escalating globally, especially in East and Southeast Asia, where its prevalence among younger populations reaches alarming levels of 80 to 90%. This surge contributes to a myopia epidemic linked to several ocular complications, including glaucoma. As myopic individuals age, the risk of developing glaucoma increases, and an additional concern arises from the growing frequency of refractive surgeries among younger individuals, making precise optic nerve assessments critical before surgery.

There is currently little research relating specifically to the muscular strength and endurance requirements of the upper body such as lifts at varying heights, ground floor contact with the hands and inversions such as handstands. Enhanced understanding of muscular demands can inform training program design to build physical tolerance to meet the demand of the activity. The aim of this study was to ascertain the frequency of upper body muscular skills in contemporary and ballet dance performance.
