In this study, the thermal stability and optical properties of 60TeO2-10BaF2-10ZnO-10Nb2O5-5Bi2O3-5TiO2 as host tellurite glasses doped with different thulium oxide (Tm2O3) concentrations from 0 to 4 × 104 ppm were investigated. The glasses obtained have a high value of thermal stability, density, molar volume, optical packing density, molar refraction, and molar polarizability. The optical energy gap, third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility, and refractive index of the synthesized glass were determined. The Judd–Ofelt theory was used to calculate the spectroscopic parameters Ω₂, Ω₄, and Ω₆, as well as the probability of spontaneous emission AJJ’ for the produced glass. The prepared materials exhibited a long radiative lifetime and a high spectroscopic quality factor (Ω₄/Ω₆). Both the experimental and simulated values of the emission cross-section of the prepared glasses increased with increasing Tm₂O₃ concentration. The obtained results demonstrate that the synthesized glasses exhibit significant potential as active media for light-emitting and photonic applications. This conclusion is further substantiated by the analysis of the correlated color temperature (CCT) characteristics and the Commission Internationale de l’Éclairage (CIE, 1913) chromaticity coordinates.

In this investigation, photo-induced birefringence of Pb3O4-Bi2O3-B2O3 glass ceramics doped with varying content of CuO (ranging from 0.2 to 1.0 mol%) is presented. The photo-induced birefringence (PIB) exhibited a delayed relaxation process lasting few seconds and indicated that the anisotropic photorefractive (PR) effect significantly exceeded the fast Kerr effect. Photorefractive birefringence reached a maximum at a CuO concentration of 0.2 mol%, likely due to enhanced depolymerization of the glass ceramic network that reduces the phonon losses. This is ascribed to the predominant fraction of Cu2 + ions occupying octahedral (Oh) sites and acting as modifiers. Increasing the CuO content further, up to nearly 0.8 mol%, the magnitude of photorefractive birefringence is observed to reduce. Phonon losses increase because a higher proportion of Cu+ ions occupy tetrahedral (Td) positions within the glass ceramic in this concentration range, resulting in stronger interactions between different structural groups in the material. Electrical conductivity and ultrasonic measurements corroborate this finding. Additionally, these glass ceramics were found to be composed of anisotropic CuBi2O4 crystal phases, which enhance their photorefractive (PR) properties. Notably, compositions containing approximately 0.2 mol% CuO demonstrate optimal PR efficiency and are promising candidates for practical applications.

Wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) is a noninvasive method to visualize the inside of the digestive tract. A WCE image frequently has low contrast, variable lightness, and poor visibility due to the camera's limited capabilities, and traditional enhancing techniques are difficult to apply in many situations. Most approaches use predetermined parameters and ignore intrinsic information; they are unable to maintain true color without introducing incorrect data. The proposed method transfers the colors using a generative adversarial network (GAN) and an unsupervised image-to-image translation (UNIT) model. The proposed model proposes an adaptive four-discriminator UNIT (Ada4D-U) designed to learn the translation between two visual domains. It consists of one generator () and four adaptive . Two are used for adaptive color adjustment, and another two are used for adaptive feature mapping. Two WCE datasets, Kvasir and Red Lesion (RL), are used to evaluate enhanced image quality via reference and non-reference metrics. The proposed approach performs better in terms of image quality and the structural similarity index. The Frechet inception distance (FID) metric is used to measure how much the proposed UNIT model has improved. The proposed method is applied as a pre-processing step for WCE tasks, including bleeding lesion detection and lesion segmentation, and its effectiveness is demonstrated on the RL dataset. The performance increase in segmentation and detection is analyzed using metrics such as accuracy, F1 score, dice coefficient, Jaccard index, and so forth.

This study presents a simulation based analysis of silicon microring resonator structures integrated with rectangular microfluidic channels for temperature dependent blood sensing. Single to quadruple ring configurations are designed to investigate the influence of geometric scaling on optical sensitivity and fluid dynamic behaviour. Temperature dependent refractive index variations of blood are used as input to simulate transmission spectra and resonance shifts over the range of 20°C to 45°C. Additionally, fluid flow characteristics including velocity and pressure distribution are analyzed for micro channels of varying geometrical profiles. Results shows a clear increase in resonance wavelength shift and peak sharpness with higher ring count, indicating enhanced sensitivity 780.2 nm/RIU and improved Q factor of 15468. Simulations also confirm that as blood temperature increases, fluid velocity increases while pressure drop decreases, consistent with thermal viscosity reduction. These findings demonstrate the potential of multi ring photonic sensors in real time, label-free, and thermally responsive bio sensing applications.

We report an experimental investigation into the generation and control of multi-pulse bursts in a passively mode-locked Yb-doped fiber laser based on nonlinear polarization rotation (NPR). By systematically adjusting the polarization controller (PC) at a fixed pump power, we successfully realize controllable pulse bursts with varying pulse numbers and intervals. Notably, distinct pulse interval distributions are observed in the output configurations ranging from 1 to 5 pulses. Additionally, a broadband spectrum with a 20 dB bandwidth extending up to 66 nm is achieved, attributed to the interplay between Raman scattering and polarization state modulation within the laser cavity. These findings demonstrate the potential for precise pulse control and broad spectral generation in NPR based fiber lasers.

Mirror symmetry is commonly used to describe parity conservation in physics. This kind of chiral symmetry concept originates from daily observations and the virtual image principle of plane-mirror imaging. However, no one can measure accurately the symmetry between an object and its plane-mirror image in the real world. The aim of this paper is to propose the asymmetry of plane-mirror imaging itself as a novel conclusion in optics. The theoretical foundation of this asymmetry is the new reflection nature of imaging that mirror image results from diffused reflection, not from the traditional specular reflection. An experiment equivalent to the process of observing mirror images using human’s eyes is first built to show the fact that plane mirror can produce REAL image on light screen in front of the mirror. Some other experiments and optical analyses are then implemented to validate that the traditional virtual image theory does not provide the symmetry of plane-mirror imaging. Furthermore, based on the microscopic reflecting mechanism of polarized Mobius-strip effect, one can obtain the properties on spatial shift of reflection point to incident point, and breaking of space inversion invariance. Viewed from both microscopic light-medium interaction and geometric optics, these results can confirm astonishingly the asymmetry of plane-mirror imaging itself.

We consider the cavity modes whose cavity contains a nonlinear crystal generating correlated light and a lambda three-level atom, and both the atom and cavity modes are coupled to squeezed vacuum reservoirs. The statistical properties of the cavity lights are analyzed by employing the expectation values of the atomic and cavity modes variables at a steady state. The finding demonstrates that the two cavity modes have equal mean photon numbers and second-order correlation functions with super-Poissonian photon statistics. It is found that the nonlinear crystal in the cavity and squeezed vacuum reservoirs enhance the mean photon number of the cavity modes, but the atom–cavity coupling strength reduces the mean photon number. The probability of observing an equal number of modes’ photons in the cavity is higher than that of observing different numbers of photons.

In this study, we present a one-dimensional photonic coupler system based on Electromagnetically Induced Transparency (EIT) resonances, designed to connect a single input to three outputs through a loop structure characterized by the dimensions d₀₁ and d₀₂. The proposed coupler operates as an ON–OFF switch and serves as the basis for multi-output multiplexers capable of filtering electromagnetic waves at distinct frequencies as required. The photonic coupler enables efficient transfer of electromagnetic waves between waveguides at specific frequencies by means of controlled coupling. The investigated structure consists of a resonant circuit connected to four semi-infinite waveguides. The resonant circuit, composed of waveguide segments and resonators, provides frequency-selective transmission in each channel, with the filtered frequency determined by the geometric parameters of the system.

This paper presents a novel ring-shaped photonic crystal fiber (PCF)-based optical device, incorporating mathematical modeling and innovative design, for the early detection of malaria in human blood. The sensor utilizes a gold-coated PCF structure to achieve ultra-high amplitude sensitivity for different infected malaria RBC phases in human blood. The Schizont, Trophozoite, and Ring phases exhibited resonance wavelength shifts at 650 nm, 670 nm, and 690 nm, respectively, with maximum amplitude sensitivities reaching up to 8.3 × 105 RIU−1. The device demonstrated excellent linearity (R0.99) and high wavelength sensitivities of up to 2857.14 nm/RIU. The proposed design offers unprecedented amplitude sensitivity not reported so far, establishing it as a highly promising, non-invasive, and cost-effective tool for rapid malaria diagnosis in medical applications.

The device demonstrated excellent linearity (R<span><math><mrow><msup><mrow></mrow><mrow><mn>2</mn></mrow></msup><mo>∼</mo></mrow></math></span>0.99) and high wavelength sensitivities of up to 2857.14 nm/RIU. The proposed design offers unprecedented amplitude sensitivity not reported so far, establishing it as a highly promising, non-invasive, and cost-effective tool for rapid malaria diagnosis in medical applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19513,"journal":{"name":"Optik","volume":"342 ","pages":"Article 172581"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145517988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
