The proposed system addresses two critical challenges in IEDs: the need for enhanced safety, privacy and security on wireless communication to IEDs and the limitations of battery-based power sources. The testbed, built primarily from commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components, comprises an 810 nm NIR LED, a photovoltaic cell (PV) as an energy harvester, a power management integrated circuit (PMIC), a photodetector amplifier and a supercapacitor. Ex vivo experiments using porcine tissue samples demonstrated three key capabilities: (1) data transmission using Gaussian minimum shift keying (GMSK) modulation, (2) optical power transfer and (3) joint data and power transfer. In terms of data transfer, a data rate of approximately 95 kb/s has been established. Meanwhile, in the context of power transfer, the proposed system successfully charges a supercapacitor across a 3 cm-thick ex vivo porcine tissue within almost one day under 525 mW/cm² light exposure (in a continuous wave operation), harvesting approximately 4.2 J of energy at a rate of 45.64 μJ/s. Furthermore, we have demonstrated wireless charging during data transmission, and it is viable. These results validate the feasibility of using optical links for secure, private, and noninvasive communication to IEDs (i.e., forward biotelemetry), which practically prevents remote hacking activities, as the optical beam coverage is very narrow. Furthermore, with the additional feature of wireless charging capabilities, it potentially reduces the need for surgical battery replacements and is expected to lead to improvements in patient care.</p>","PeriodicalId":13408,"journal":{"name":"Iet Optoelectronics","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/ote2.70012","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144606688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A comparative analysis of three sensor configurations—Au alone, ZrN alone, and a combination of Au and ZrN—is presented. The sensor achieves the highest spectral sensitivity (WS) of 18,010 nm/RIU at an RI of 1.40 using Au alone and 6150 nm/RIU at an RI of 1.39 using ZrN alone. When both materials are combined, an utmost WS of 38,915 nm/RIU is achieved at an RI of 1.39 for both polarisations, outperforming the other configurations with a confinement loss of only 0.551 dB/cm at an RI of 1.40. This low loss facilitates easy fabrication, allowing for a maximum sensor length of 159 cm, a resolution of 2.57 × 10⁻⁶ RIU, and a limit of detection (LOD) of 6.603 × 10⁻¹¹ RIU²/nm. The bimetallic layer setup enables the opportunity for enhanced optical coupling between the two different types of plasmonic material used, elevating the detection capability of the sensor. The sensing performance displayed can outperform the currently available sensors that use ZrN solely and are very well-compatible with those using Gold alone. However, using gold layer alone gave out better amplitude sensitivity (AS) results which makes it suitable for application when the cost of equipment is in question and the use of ZrN layer alone can also be a smarter choice considering the cost of material, durability and availability of Zirconium in nature when compared to Gold.

A major concern is the toxicity associated with lead-based perovskites, which also suffer from rapid degradation. To mitigate these issues, researchers are investigating lead-free alternatives. In this study, we developed a device structure for a lead-free PSC utilising Cs₂TiBr₆ and La₂NiMnO₆ as absorbers. By modifying the thickness of these layers with distinct bandgap values, we achieved current matching in the design, which was carried out utilising the solar cell capacitance simulator (SCAPS-1D) with the AM 1.5 G 1 sun light spectrum. The proposed optimised device structure includes layers of FTO, SnO₂, Cs₂TiBr₆, La₂NiMnO₆, GO and Au. SCAPS-1D is also utilised to assess the impact of defect density, different hole transport layers (HTLs) and operating temperature on the performance of the proposed double-absorber solar cell (DASC). Additionally, it is also examined how the back-reflective coating and varying solar spectra affect the proposed structure.

Therefore, quality assessment of raw meat in markets as well as in eateries is important to ensure the consumer's safety and satisfaction. In this paper, we propose a nondestructive technique to detect water presence in raw meat and steak cooking temperature optimisation using a fibre Bragg grating (FBG) temperature sensor inserted into the piece of raw meat. The contribution of this paper is twofold: First, the water presence in the piece of raw meat is detected by analysing the shift in Bragg wavelength corresponding to time-dependent gradual decrease in temperature of heated probe of FBG sensor due to convective heat transfer from probe to meat. Secondly, the optimum cooking temperature of a particular type of steak is achieved after quality assessment of meat by analysing the shift in Bragg wavelength corresponding to time-dependent gradual increase in probe temperature due to convective heat transfer from meat to probe. The results show that the proposed sensing system can complete the error-free detection of water in 250 g piece of raw meat within 30 s for water contents of 50, 75, and 100 g which account for 20%, 30%, and 40% of the net weight of meat, respectively. Moreover, the simulated and experimental values of temperature sensitivity (TS) of FBG sensor used in this work are around 13 and 10 pm/°C, respectively. The proof of the concept of a smart restaurant based upon the proposed work is also discussed.
