文摘Gastric cancer,including stomach tumors,poses significant health challenges due to late-stage diagnosis and limited early detection methods.Accurate imaging and precise tumor margin demarcation are critical for effective treatment planning and improved patient outcomes.Conventional imaging techniques,such as endoscopy and histopathology,provide valuable diagnostic information but cannot offer real-time assessment.We aim to explore the application of optical coherence tomography(OCT),combined with statistical and machine learning methods,for rapid tumor margin demarcation in gastrointestinal(GI)cancer tissues in exvivo.GI tumor specimens from 17 patients were imaged intraoperatively with OCT.Quantitative features were extracted from the images,and statistical and machine learning analyses were applied to distinguish tissue types.Subsequent histopathological evaluation was used as the reference standard for validation.The combination of OCT imaging and data-driven analysis enables clear differentiation between healthy,marginal and tumor tissues in near real-time.The KNN model achieved the highest classification accuracy(0.921±0.040),with SVM(0.906±0.038)and Extra Trees(0.901±0.034)also demonstrating robust performance in discriminating tissue margins.OCT findings demonstrate strong agreement with histopathology.Integrated with statistical and machine learning techniques,OCT enables rapid assessment of GI tumor margins.This approach provides quantitative objectivity and real-time feedback,closely approximating histopathological analysis and supporting improved surgical decision-making.

文摘AIM:To evaluate the agreement of axial length(AL),anterior chamber parameters,and total cornea power obtained by swept-source optical coherence tomography(SS-OCT)-based and Scheimpflug-based optical biometers in myopic children.METHODS:AL,steep keratometry(K),flat K,posterior corneal keratometry(PK),total keratometry(TK),anterior chamber depth(ACD),horizontal corneal diameter(CD),and central corneal thickness(CCT)were obtained using IOL Master 700 and Pentacam AXL.The agreement between the devices was evaluated using intraclass correlation coefficients(ICC),Bland-Altman plots,and astigmatism vector analysis.RESULTS:Totally 175 myopic children(48.5%male)with a mean age of 10.29±2.14y were enrolled.The ICC and Bland-Altman plots indicated a satisfactory agreement for AL,ACD,and CCT.The mean difference in CD of-0.31±0.30 mm was considered clinically significant(>0.2 mm).Additionally,measurements of K and TK obtained from the IOL Master 700 showed good agreement.Nevertheless,there were clinically significant differences observed in PK,simulated keratometry(simK),total cornea power,and astigmatism(at least 10%of the cases with a difference of>10 degrees in meridian)between the two devices.CONCLUSION:The study findings demonstrate a significant difference in K,PK,astigmatism,and CD,indicating that the two optical biometers cannot be considered interchangeable.Therefore,it is recommended to utilize one kind device for follow-up examinations in myopic children.

文摘Understanding the complex interplay between structured light and particles is crucial for unlocking advanced optical manipulation techniques.However,existing theories for optical force/torque are often limited to small particles within the dipole regime or specific light fields,thereby lacking universality and sometimes leading to ambiguity.To overcome these limitations,we establish a fully analytical and comprehensive framework for optical force/torque based on the Cartesian multipole expansion theory,which is applicable to arbitrary-sized bi-isotropic(chiral)spherical particles immersed in arbitrary monochromatic optical fields.Rigorous expressions are thus derived,which explicitly bridge the optical force/torque with particle-propertydependent coefficients and“force/torque source”quantities characterizing the incident light structures.Such quantities identify the ultimate physical origins of optical force/torque and are systematically classified into four categories based on their parity(P)and duality(D)symmetries.Each category interacts selectively with particles exhibiting specific P and D(a)symmetries,thus inducing distinct optical forces or torques with characteristic physical behaviors.This classification establishes the mutual symmetry-breaking criteria necessary for both particles and light beams to generate optical force/torque,offering a physics-based roadmap for engineering optical manipulations such as chirality sorting,light-driven micromotors,and beyond.

文摘Scalability remains a major challenge in building practical fault-tolerant quantum computers.Currently,the largest number of qubits achieved across leading quantum platforms ranges from hundreds to thousands.In atom arrays,scalability is primarily constrained by the capacity to generate large numbers of optical tweezers,and conventional techniques using acousto-optic deflectors or spatial light modulators struggle to produce arrays much beyond∼10,000 tweezers.Moreover,these methods require additional microscope objectives to focus the light into micrometer-sized spots,which further complicates system integration and scalability.Here,we demonstrate the experimental generation of an optical tweezer array containing 280×280 spots using a metasurface,nearly an order of magnitude more than most existing systems.The metasurface leverages a large number of subwavelength phase-control pixels to engineer the wavefront of the incident light,enabling both large-scale tweezer generation and direct focusing into micron-scale spots without the need for a microscope.This result shifts the scalability bottleneck for atom arrays from the tweezer generation hardware to the available laser power.Furthermore,the array shows excellent intensity uniformity exceeding 90%,making it suitable for homogeneous single-atom loading and paving the way for trapping arrays of more than 10,000 atoms in the near future.

文摘Detecting biomarkers in body fluids by optical lateral flow immune assay(LFIA) technology provides rapid access to disease information for early diagnosis.LFIA is based on an antigen-antibody reaction and is rapidly becoming the preferred choice of physicians and patients for point-of-care testing due to its simplicity,cost-effectiveness,and rapid detection.Observing the optical signal change from the colloidal gold of the traditional LFIA strip has been widely applied for various biomarkers detection in body fluids.Despite the significant progress,rapid real-time detection of color changes in the colloidal gold by the naked eye still faces many limitations,such as large errors and the inability to quantify and accurately detect.New optical LFIA strip technology has emerged in recent years to extend its application scenarios for achieving quantitative detection such as fluorescence,afterglow,and chemiluminescence.Herein,we summarized the development of optical LFIA technology from single to hyphenated optical signals for biomarkers detection in body fluids from invasive and non-invasive sources.Moreover,the challenge and outlook of optical LFIA strip technology are highlighted to inspire the designing of next-generation diagnostic platforms.
文摘Overt and harmful diabetes mellitus(DM)has detrimental effects on individuals and,by extension,the community.Among the microvascular DM complications is diabetic retinopathy(DR).DR may cause irreversible vision deterioration in cases of poor blood glucose regulation.Changes in vascular permeability are key trigger points for diabetic macular edema(DME),a condition characterized by the accumulation of fluid in the macula.The development of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)pathway inhibitors has provided a pathogenesis-based treatment approach for DME.Optical coherence tomography(OCT)provides highresolution imaging of the anatomy,including the aging of DME and its structural damage,in distinct morphologic subtypes of macular edema,thereby supporting the assessment of macular edema treatment.The availability of repeated OCT monitoring provides clinical reassurance through the treatment.OCT angiography(OCTA)provides retinal blood flow maps with high spatial resolution.The ability promotes an understanding of disease pathogenesis and facilitates the implementation of new therapeutic methods.This review compares the potential of OCT and OCTA in the diagnosis and treatment of DME,as well as their respective therapeutic applications.

文摘Coherent perfect absorption(CPA)and coherent perfect transmission(CPT)are two extreme states arising from the manipulation of optical fields.Generally,CPA and CPT occur under different input-field phases.Therefore,we propose a scheme to realize an all-optical switch based on phase-dependent CPA–CPT conversion.In our proposal,the CPT state and the CPA state are treated as the on state and the off state,respectively.Consequently,the efficiency of this all-optical switch can reach the maximum value of 1.With the introduction of an incoherent pump field,the CPA state can be achieved under a weaker input probe field or can be converted into a CPT state.The results show that the optical switch can operate with weaker fields and can be further optimized by the application of an incoherent field.

文摘Optical tweezers technology has the characteristics of noncontact manipulation in three dimensions and steerable separation in solutions,and could be applied to obtain a separated sperm with high quality for intracytoplasmic sperm injection(ICSI).However,the effects of optical tweezers on sperm motility are still unclear.To elucidate the effects on sperm motility for optical tweezers,we systematically investigated the correlation between motility parameters and the parameters of optical tweezers(wavelength,power,trapping duration,and trapping orientation).Under three systems of optical tweezers with different laser wavelengths(1064,850,and 785 nm),the nine motility parameters of free swimming were mainly affected by trapping orientation(vertical/horizontal)and trapping duration.When 850 nm laser and 1064 nm laser are used,vertical trapping significantly reduces sperm free-swimming capability with prolonged exposure time,whereas horizontal trapping exhibits relatively minor interference on sperm motility.Notably,the 785 nm laser does not induce statistically significant changes in key parameters of sperm motility under any experimental conditions(trapping orientation and duration).For the rolling frequency of trapped sperm,horizontal trapping for three wavelengths has a negligible effect compared with vertical trapping,especially for the 785 nm laser.In conclusion,horizontal trapping can preserve sperm motility under low power(below 140mW at 1064 nm,below 100mW at 850nm,below 60mW at 785 nm)and short duration(below 4 min).This trapping duration is suffcient for the separation procedure of single live sperm in ICSI.This study provides critical parameter optimization guidelines for the safe application of optical tweezers technology in reproductive medicine.

文摘This study investigates the effect of BaHfO_(3)(BHO)addition on the optical properties of YBa_2Cu_(3)O_(7-δ)(YBCO)superconducting thin films using spectroscopic ellipsometry.Through Raman spectroscopy and SEM analysis,optimal 10-min Ar ion etching effectively removes surface a-axis-oriented grains and Ba–Cu–O impurities,enhancing surface quality.Optical conductivity analysis reveals a doping-dependent evolution:10%BHO doping maximizes free carrier density and interband transition efficiency,attributed to optimized Cu–O bond contraction and reduced lattice distortions.Higher doping induces defect clustering,carrier scattering,and redshifted transitions due to lattice expansion.Dielectric function and loss function analyses confirm enhanced plasmonic behavior and flux pinning at 10%doping,while excessive doping degrades electronic transitions.These results highlight the critical role of controlled BHO addition and surface treatment in tailoring the optical and superconducting properties of YBCO,offering insights into the interplay among doping,carrier dynamics,and electronic structure in high-temperature superconductors(HTS).

文摘The development of high-performance transparent substrates is critical for next-generation flexible electronic devices.Herein,we designed two novel meta-substituted diamines incorporating trifluoromethyl(―CF_(3))and methyl(―CH_(3))groups to synthesize colorless copolyimide(CPI)films via copolymerization with 4,4′-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphthalic anhydride(6FDA)/3,3′,4,4′-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride(BPDA).The combination of meta-substituted architecture and substituents enables the simultaneous attainment of an ultralow dielectric constant(D_k)and high transparency.The meta-substitution geometry and electronic effects of―CF_(3)/―CH_(3) effectively suppressed charge-transfer complex(CTC)formation,expanded fractional free volume(FFV),and restricted π-electron conjugation,as validated by DFT calculations and wide-angle X-ray diffraction(WAXD)analysis.The optimized CPI film(PIA_(1)-6FDA/BPDA(10/0))achieved outstanding transmittance(T_(450)=88.15%),ultralow dielectric constant(D_(k)=2.08 at 1 k Hz),and minimal dielectric loss(D_(f)=0.0012),while maintaining robust thermal stability(T_(d5%)>523℃)and mechanical strength(σ=87.5 MPa).This work establishes a molecular engineering strategy to concurrently enhance the optical and dielectric properties,positioning meta-substituted CPIs as promising candidates for transparent flexible devices.
