Article Abstract
We report on the electrically tunable optical structure based on dual-domain nematic liquid crystal (LC) alignment for in-plane beam steering applications. The device operates due to the total internal reflection of an extraordinary beam at the LC refractive index interface that separates homeotropic and planar-aligned nematics. Patterned electrodes were used in order to switch on the refractive index interface in the bulk of a planar-aligned LC layer. An outstanding feature of the proposed device is the function of tuning the spatial position of the LC interface by means of a fringing electric field, which allowed one to implement wide range light beam microscanning, as well as to realize in-plane angular beam steering with a milliradian resolution.

Purpose: To use parametric numerical simulation to characterize and compare the differences in corneal biomechanical responses to laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and keratorefractive lenticule extraction (KLEx) under various surgical settings.
Methods: The Finite Element Model was used in a parametric study to evaluate corneal biomechanical responses to LASIK and KLEx, considering variations in preoperative corneal thickness, corneal flap/cap thickness and diameter, refractive correction, and optical zone diameter. Surgery-induced stress, displacement, and interface contact pressure were compared between LASIK and KLEx using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.

The semiconductor-electrolyte interface with strong electrical tunability offers a platform for tuning nonlinear optical (NLO) processes and achieving giant optical nonlinearities. However, such a demonstration and fundamental mechanistic understanding of electrochemically tuned NLO properties have not been reported. Here, we developed an electrochemical Z-scan system to characterize the evolution of NLO responses in tellurium nanorod films under bias voltage.

Accurate and noninvasive detection of cancer cells is critical for advancing early stage cancer diagnostics and monitoring tumor progression. While manual enumeration methods, such as hemocytometry, remain in use, they suffer from limited sensitivity and scalability. In this article, we report the first feasibility study demonstrating a graphene oxide (GO)-functionalized long-period fiber grating (LPG) sensor for the label-free detection of MCF-7 human breast cancer cell density via secreted cellular byproducts.

Intravital lung imaging has been employed to study physiological and pathophysiological processes related to nanoparticle deposition in the alveolar lung, particularly in the context of air pollution and drug delivery. However, optical imaging depth is limited, often attributed to the refractive index (RI) mismatch at the alveolar air-tissue interface. To investigate this, we evaluated two complementary strategies.
