Article Abstract
A tapered fiber localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) sensor is demonstrated for refractive index sensing and label-free biochemical detection. The sensing strategy relies on the interrogation of the transmission intensity change due to the evanescent field absorption of immobilized gold nanoparticles on the tapered fiber surface. The refractive index resolution based on the interrogation of transmission intensity change is calculated to be 3.2×10⁻⁵ RIU. The feasibility of DNP-functionalized tapered fiber LSPR sensor in monitoring anti-DNP antibody with different concentrations spiked in buffer is examined. Results suggest that the compact sensor can perform qualitative and quantitative biochemical detection in real-time and thus has potential to be used in biomolecular sensing applications.

This article describes an external refractive index (RI) sensor based on a spectral analysis of the light transmission through a long tapered side-hole optical fiber (S-H OF). A section of the S-H OF was fusion-spliced with SMFs at both ends and connected to a supercontinuum source at the input and an optical spectrum analyzer (OSA) at the output. To investigate the effect of the external RI on the spectral characteristics, immersion liquids with refractive indices in the ranges of 1.

This design leverages the dual characteristics of the fiber LP21 mode to achieve dual-mode, high-precision rotational manipulation of cells: on one hand, by precisely controlling the fiber twist angle, the LP21 mode spot can be rotated regularly, driving cells trapped by the optical tweezers on the outer wall of the tapered microtube to undergo controlled "orbital rotation" along the tube wall in the y-z plane; on the other hand, by adjusting the fiber stretching degree to modulate the LP21 mode spot energy distribution, the multi-physical fields (including optical, flow fields, etc.) at the microtube port are altered, inducing an optically induced vortex to drive cells at the port to perform controlled "spin rotation" in the x-y plane.

The pursuit of high-performance saturable absorbers (SAs) demands synergistic optimization of modulation depth, saturation intensity, and response speed─a challenge persisting in ultrafast photonics. While two-dimensional (2D) MXenes exhibit great potential as SA candidates, their intrinsic limitations, including weak surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and insufficient near-infrared nonlinear optical responses, hinder further practical laser applications. Herein, guided by the plasmonic coupling theory, we proposed a TiCT/Au nanoparticle (T/A) nanocomposite synthesized via a facile ultrasonic-assisted strategy.

Aramid fibre has become a critical material for individual soft body armour due to its lightweight nature and exceptional impact resistance. To investigate its energy absorption mechanism, quasi-static and dynamic tensile experiments were conducted on Kevlar 29 plain-woven fabric using a universal material testing machine and a Split Hopkinson Tensile Bar (SHTB) apparatus. Tensile mechanical responses were obtained under various strain rates.
