Lock-in amplifiers (LIAs) are critical tools in precision measurement, particularly for applications involving weak signals obscured by noise. Advances in signal processing algorithms and hardware synthesis have enabled accurate signal extraction, even in extremely noisy environments, making LIAs indispensable in sensor applications for healthcare, industry, and other services. For instance, the electrical impedance measurement of the human body, organs, tissues, and cells, known as bioelectrical impedance, is commonly used in biomedical and healthcare applications because it is non-invasive and relatively inexpensive.

The field of chiral nanoparticles is rapidly expanding, yet measuring the chirality of single nano-objects remains a challenging endeavor. Here, we report a technique to detect chiro-optical effects in single plasmonic nanoparticles by means of phase-sensitive polarization-resolved four-wave mixing interferometric microscopy. Beyond conventional circular dichroism, the method is sensitive to the particle polarizability, in amplitude and phase.

To date, TE Φ-OTDR approaches extract the fiber response from the first Nyquist zone (NZ). In this Letter, we propose a post-processing strategy to enhance the SNR by spectrally averaging different NZs.

Understanding the ultrafast excitation, detection, transportation, and manipulation of nanoscale spin dynamics in the terahertz (THz) frequency range is critical to developing spintronic THz optoelectronic nanodevices. However, the diffraction limitation of the sub-millimeter waves - THz wavelengths - has impaired experimental investigation of spintronic THz nano-emission. Here, we present an approach to studying laser THz emission nanoscopy from W|CoFeB|Pt metasurfaces with ∼60-nm lateral spatial resolution.

To identify the frequency and amplitude of a periodic signal in real-time, a novel approach termed the "Online Harmonics Extraction Approach (OHEA)" is proposed in this paper. This method employs a notch filter with an adjustable center frequency to identify the frequency of periodic signals accurately. The computation of the envelope curve and phase-sensitive detection are combined to identify the signal amplitude and smooth out transient stages.
