Although overlooked, coupling the microscope to the spectrometer with a multimode fiber is a simple yet viable solution to increase both the detection efficiency and the stability of the classical single-mode fiber-coupled VIPA instruments. Here we implement the first successful multimode fiber-coupled VIPA spectrometer for confocal Brillouin applications and present a dimensioning strategy to optimize its collected power. The use of a multimode fiber brings a tremendous improvement on the stability of the spectrometer that allows performing experiments over several weeks without realignment of the device. For instance, we map the Brillouin shift and linewidth in growing ductal and acinar organoids with a spatial resolution of 1 × 1 × 6μm3 and 50ms dwell time. Our results clearly reveal the formation of a lumen in these organoids. Careful examination of the data also suggests an increase in the viscosity of the cells of the assembly.","PeriodicalId":517326,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physics: Photonics","volume":"7 21","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140381575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The properties of Epoch Neo were analyzed and compared with those of its polycrystal counterparts in this paper. Cosine corrector was used to ensure accurate spectral measurements. Multiple characterization techniques like chromaticity points, color temperature, phosphor temperature, and speckle pattern were employed to study the effect of variable laser input power on both polycrystal powder and composite single crystal of YAG:Ce. It was found that under the influence of pumping blue laser high input optical power the composite single crystal phosphor’s performance was significantly better compared to that of the polycrystal.","PeriodicalId":517326,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physics: Photonics","volume":"7 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139957799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Planar SERS substrates are of particular interest due to their ease of integration in lab-on-chips and better reproducibility compared to colloidal SERS. The performance of these SERS substrates is quantified using metrics such as enhancement factor, sensitivity, and reproducibility. However, there is yet to be a consensus on how to practically compare and interpret such metrics in publications and experiments. These performance metrics are strongly influenced by the nanostructures’ material, architecture, element sizes, as well as the circumstances surrounding the experiments. Understanding the effect of these characteristics on the SERS substrates’ performance could not only enable a better performance but also direct their development for different applications. Thus, we developed a planar SERS-substrate characterization protocol to explore the correlation between the nanostructures’ physical characteristics and the performance metrics through coordinate-transformed spectroscopic measurements over structure-characterized areas. Seven commercial SERS substrates, with various surface architectures fabricated using different fabrication technologies, were studied using this benchmarking protocol. The results demonstrated how this protocol can indicate a SERS substrate’s suitability for a specific application, thus, guiding the substrate's further adaptations or development.","PeriodicalId":517326,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physics: Photonics","volume":"18 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139896355","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The data collected in a typical Brillouin microscopy experiment represents the high-dimensional set of spectral information. Its analysis requires non-trivial approaches due to subtlety in spectral variations as well as spatial and spectral overlaps of measured features. This article offers a guide to the application of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for processing Brillouin imaging data. Being unsupervised multivariate analysis, PCA is well-suited to tackle processing of complex Brillouin spectra from heterogeneous biological samples with minimal a priori information requirements. We point out the importance of data pre-processing steps in order to improve outcomes of PCA. We also present a strategy where PCA combined with k-means clustering method can provide a working solution to data reconstruction and deeper insights into sample composition, structure and mechanics.","PeriodicalId":517326,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physics: Photonics","volume":"101 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140511729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
