Article Abstract

We demonstrate a three-dimensional (3D)-printed miniature optical fiber-based polymer Fabry-Perot (FP) interferometric pressure sensor based on direct femtosecond laser writing through two-photon polymerization. An unsealed cylinder column with a suspended polymer diaphragm is directly printed on a single-mode fiber tip to form an FP cavity. Here, two FP cavities with different lengths and the same diaphragm thickness (5 µm) are presented. The fabricated FP interferometer has a fringe contrast larger than 15 dB. The experimental results show that the fabricated device with a 140 µm cavity length has a linear response to the change of pressure with a sensitivity of 3.959 nm/MPa in a range of 0-1100 kPa, and the device with a 90 µm cavity length has a linear pressure sensitivity of 4.097 nm/MPa. The temperature sensitivity is measured to be about 160.2 pm/°C and 156.8 pm/°C, respectively, within the range from 20 to 70°C. The results demonstrate that 3D-printing techniques can be used for directly fabricating FP cavities on optical fiber tips for sensing applications.

Background: To evaluate the ganglion cell complex thickness in patients taking oral hydroxychloroquine.

Methods: In this hospital-based, cross-sectional, non-interventional, comparative study, 87 eyes of 87 patients taking hydroxychloroquine were recruited. All the patients underwent complete ophthalmological evaluation along with dilated fundus examination.

Objective: Previous studies of nerve distribution in the orofacial complex have focused primarily on the anatomic courses of nerve fibers and have rarely addressed the density of nerve distribution. The nerve distribution in the mandible was described in only one report which showed an increase in nerve distribution density moving from the alveolar crest toward the inferior alveolar nerve. However, no previous reports have focused on the nerve distribution density in the maxilla.

Novel Grm6 Variant in a no b-wave (nob) Mouse Model: Phenotype Characterization and Gene Therapy.

Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci

Purpose: To characterize a no b-wave (nob) mouse model of congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB) caused by a Grm6 variant that disrupts photoreceptor-to-bipolar cell signaling. Additionally, we aim to evaluate the efficacy of gene therapy in restoring visual function.

Methods: The nob mouse was generated through selective breeding to regenerate the nob phenotype.

Preparation, Characterization, and Self-Assembly of P3HT-Based Janus Fibers via a Crystallization-Driven Self-Assembly Process.

ACS Macro Lett

State Key Laboratory of Molecular Engineering of Polymers, Department of Macromolecular Science, Fudan University, Shanghai 200433, China.

Poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT)-based complex topological copolymers have attracted a great deal of attention for their unique electrical and optical properties. In this contribution, the P3HT-based Janus fibers with controlled lengths were innovatively prepared by sequential crystallization-driven self-assembly (CDSA) of poly(--butylstyrene)--polyisoprene--poly(3-hexylthiophene) (PBS--PI--P3HT) triblock copolymer, cross-linking of the interlayer PI region, and dissociation of fibers in good solvent. The comprehensive characterizations showed that the PBS/P3HT Janus fibers have nearly half the width of PBS--PI--P3HT fibers and fiber lengths close to or slightly shorter than those of PBS--PI--P3HT fibers, indicating that the Janus fibers with adjustable lengths could be prepared in a large window range.

The binary composites of liquid () and crystalline () difluoroboron β-diketonate (BFdbk) complexes exhibited a metastable nature arising from the intricate interplay between their liquid and crystalline components in bulk. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements indicate nearly complete miscibility of and when the fractional volume of occupied a substantial portion, corresponding to below 47 mol % of the content. In contrast, polarized optical microscopic (POM) observations unveiled that the / composites between two glass slides crystallized regardless of the content.
