Article Abstract

We demonstrate the use of white-light spectral interferometry as an effective technique involving only linear optical interactions and a partially coherent light source to measure the complex transmission response function of optical resonance and to determine the corresponding variation in the refractive index relative to a reference. We also discuss experimental arrangements to increase the accuracy and sensitivity of the technique. The superiority of the technique over single-beam absorption measurements is demonstrated by the accurate determination of the response function of the chlorophyll- solution. The technique is then applied to chlorophyll- solutions of varying concentrations and gold nanocolloids to characterize inhomogeneous broadening. Results on the inhomogeneity of gold nanocolloids are also supported by transmission electron micrographs, showing distributions of the size and shape of the constituent gold nanorods.

Integrating AI with Advanced Hyperspectral Imaging for Enhanced Classification of Selected Gastrointestinal Diseases.

Ulcerative colitis, polyps, esophagitis, and other gastrointestinal (GI) diseases significantly impact health, making early detection crucial for reducing mortality rates and improving patient outcomes. Traditional white light imaging (WLI) is commonly used during endoscopy to identify abnormalities in the gastrointestinal tract. However, insufficient contrast often limits its effectiveness, making it challenging to distinguish between healthy and unhealthy tissues, particularly when identifying subtle mucosal and vascular abnormalities.

Enhancing Early GI Disease Detection with Spectral Visualization and Deep Learning.

Timely and accurate diagnosis of gastrointestinal diseases (GIDs) remains a critical bottleneck in clinical endoscopy, particularly due to the limited contrast and sensitivity of conventional white light imaging (WLI) in detecting early-stage mucosal abnormalities. To overcome this, this research presents Spectrum Aided Vision Enhancer (SAVE), an innovative, software-driven framework that transforms standard WLI into high-fidelity hyperspectral imaging (HSI) and simulated narrow-band imaging (NBI) without any hardware modification. SAVE leverages advanced spectral reconstruction techniques, including Macbeth Color Checker-based calibration, principal component analysis (PCA), and multivariate polynomial regression, achieving a root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.

Light exposure during incubation can influence hatching characteristics, post-hatch growth, and physiological responses in poultry. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of pre-development exposure to different cold-colored light emitting diode (LED) lights on incubation characteristics, growth performance, stress physiology, and myogenic regulatory factors (MRFs) expression level in the slow-growing native Gerze chicken breed. Fertilized eggs were incubated under red, green, white, or dark conditions.

The advent of graphene catalyzed extensive exploration into two-dimensional (2D) materials, owing to their extraordinary electronic, mechanical, and optical properties. Among these, two-dimensional silicon carbide (2D-SiC) has emerged as a compelling candidate for next-generation optoelectronic devices due to its inherent planar structure, robust mechanical strength, high exciton binding energy, high thermal stability, and wide band gap. In this work, we present a comprehensive first-principles investigation into the effects of intrinsic point defects including vacancies and antisites as well as substitutional doping with various single foreign atom (, As, Bi, Ga, Ge, In, P, Pb, Sb, Sn, Te, Ca, K, Mg) on the electronic and optical properties of 2D-SiC.

A class of light-mediated mechanotherapeutic agents was developed on the basis of conjugated oligoelectrolytes (COEs), which mimic the topology of lipid membranes and intrinsically exhibit excellent biocompatibility. Low-dose white light irradiation (20 milliwatts per square centimeter for 10 minutes) substantially decreased the half-maximal inhibitory concentration of the optimized COE against A549 cancer cells from more than 256 to 0.6 micromolar.
