The spectral sensitivity of the dark-adapted eye of the snail Helix lucorum L. was investigated in semi-intact "optic cupoptic nerve-cerebral ganglion" preparations. The data of the recording of the electroretinogram in response to monochromatic radiation of varied intensities were used to plot the spectral sensitivity functions. The averaged spectral sensitivity function is well described by a Dartnall nomogram for the photopigment rhodopsin with a sensitivity peak at 496 nm.

We propose and validate a novel optical semantic transmission scheme using multimode fiber (MMF). By leveraging the frequency sensitivity of intermodal dispersion in MMFs, we achieve high-dimensional semantic encoding and decoding in the frequency domain. Our system maps symbols to 128 distinct frequencies spaced at 600 kHz intervals, demonstrating a seven-fold increase in capacity compared to conventional communication encoding.

The detection of heavy metals in soil is of great scientific significance for food security and human health. However, traditional detection methods are complicated, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. Herein, we developed a novel method using Au@SiO nanoparticles (NPs) and surface microstructure combined with laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (Au@SiO NPs-SMS-LIBS) for the rapid detection of lead (Pb), chromium (Cr), and copper (Cu) in soil samples.

The gold standard method of diagnosis of oral leukoplakia (OLK) is a tissue biopsy followed by histological examination. Raman spectroscopic studies of cytological brush biopsy and saliva samples have previously been shown to differentiate low (no and mild dysplasia) and high risk (moderate and severe dysplasia) OLKs, discriminant models of cellular samples achieving higher specificity, whereas those based on saliva samples achieved higher sensitivity. The current study combines the spectral data sets of cell and saliva samples in an attempt to improve the overall efficiency of the discriminating models.

We demonstrate a high-performance ultrafast broadband time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) system based on the transient grating photoluminescence spectroscopy (TGPLS) technique. The core of the system is a Kerr effect-induced transient grating (TG) optical gate driven by high repetition rate ultrashort laser pulses at 1030 nm with micro-Joule pulse energy. Satisfying the demands of spectroscopy applications, the setup achieves high sensitivity, rapid data acquisition, ultrafast time resolution, and a wide spectral window from ultraviolet to near-infrared.

Inner speech refers to the silent production of language in one's mind. As a purely mental action without obvious physical manifestations, inner speech has been notoriously difficult to quantify. Inner speech is thought to be closely related to overt speech.
