In a schematic of a robust, long-duration TERS imaging technique, a metallic nanotip images several points in a large area of a WS2 monolayer placed on a gold thin film (a). A superposition of two different intensity images, pure WS2 at 422 cm-1 and defect scattering of WS2 at 410 cm-1, reveals a high density of nanoscale protrusions in a large-area far-field confocal Raman image (b). A histogram of the same modes shows a defect density of 5.2% in the WS2 sample (c).
Advances in tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) can improve spatial resolution and stability, enabling longer imaging and spectroscopic characterization of sub-diffraction-...

Fiber-coupled endoscopic probes scan surrounding tissue at high rates, enabled by a megahertz-range MEMS-VCSEL variable wavelength source (a). The high rates enable angiographic imaging without administering any contrast agent, as in the image of swine esophagus vasculature shown here (b).
Optical interferometry is accurate and noninvasive, making optical coherence tomography (OCT) a valuable clinical diagnostic tool.
FIGURE 1. Attenuation of optical fibers made of fluoride glasses, showing a significantly wider transmission window into the mid-IR as compared to silica fibers. Indium fluoride (InF3) glass has a wider transmission window in the mid-IR than zirconium fluoride (ZrF4) glass.
A commercially available mid-IR supercontinuum source has a broadband output from 1.3 to 4.5 μm, providing orders-of-magnitude higher brightness than thermal IR sources.

FIGURE 1. Visible light curing, with the general mechanism (oxidative quenching) for a three-component system (left) and chemical structures of photoinitiator (PI) and photoredox catalysts (PRCs), and corresponding pictures of photocured films with qualitative gel times (right) all shown (a). Chemical structures of iodonium acceptor (A) and borate donor (D) coinitiators (b); chemical structures of opaquing agents (OAs) (c); and photons absorbed vs. wavelength for PI and PRC compounds at optimal photocuring concentration (d) are also shown. OA at 0.5 mM (red) and 1 mM (green, blue, and violet). Light exposure was from calibrated violet (405 nm), blue (460 nm), green (525 nm), and red (615 nm) LEDs at the DLP 3D printer image plane.

A hologram of fibroblast cells taken at a light intensity substantially above the shot-noise limit has relatively low noise (top). A shot-noise-limited hologram of the fibroblast cells has obvious high noise (center). A Holo-UNet-restored shot-noise-limited hologram has an image quality comparable to the hologram taken at a high intensity. These images are stills from an ANU video that can be found at https://youtu.be/nNkcdZsveHQ.
Quantitative phase microscopy (QPM) systems operating under low light to preserve cells can now have high-quality digital-holographic images, thanks to machine learning.
A ball lens with a small pass-band-creating air gap (center) can be rotated to move the passband across a large spectral region; here, the ball lens is part of an optical system that can be used in hyperspectral imaging.
Based on frustrated total internal reflection, a tunable filter is compact, has a large range, and can be easily designed into optical systems.

FIGURE 1. A schematic depicts the MagAssemble pattern writing process, in which the write head rasters back and forth across the perpendicular magnetic recording medium within each track. By selectively changing the magnetic-field direction of each bit, the charge transition boundaries create a custom 2D template (a). When the template is introduced into a magnetic nanoparticle solution, nanoparticles self-assemble along the magnetic charge transitions (b).
