Exposure to ALAN is associated with detrimental effects on physiology and behavior, including disrupted metabolism, immune function, endocrine function, and pain behavior. Given the detrimental effects of ALAN and other circadian rhythm disruptors on pain, we sought to understand how ALAN may alter the progression and severity of diabetic neuropathy. To do this, we used a previously reported high-fat diet and streptozotocin injection protocol to induce a type II diabetic phenotype in ∼8 week old female and male mice and then exposed the mice to either control or ALAN lighting conditions in 14:10 h light-dark cycles for 4 weeks. Male mice housed in control conditions exhibited reduced responsiveness to cold pain; in contrast, ALAN blunted this effect in male mice. ALAN exposure also elevated blood glucose and altered body mass loss in male mice. These effects were not present in female mice. The results of this study highlight the need to consider and study ALAN exposure and sex as a biological variable as risk factors in the treatment and mitigation of pain.","PeriodicalId":73099,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in photonics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139801835","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}

UMG-Si is an attractive low-cost alternative silicon feedstock, but its bulk quality is compromised due to the presence of defects and impurities. The review begins by identifying and discussing the various defects and impurities commonly found in UMG-Si wafers, drawing insights from a literature survey. The detrimental effects of these defects on solar cell performance are highlighted. Next, the review provides a summary of defect mitigation strategies that have been employed to improve the bulk quality of UMG-Si wafers. These strategies include tabula rasa, impurity gettering, and defect/impurity passivation through hydrogenation. The effectiveness of these strategies is evaluated by considering carrier lifetimes and comparing them with those of conventional silicon wafers. The review then examines the reported open-circuit voltages and efficiencies of solar cells based on UMG-Si wafers. A comparison is made between the performance of UMG-Si solar cells and those fabricated on conventional silicon. The impact of defect mitigation strategies on the performance of UMG-Si solar cells is discussed, emphasizing the improvements achieved through these strategies.","PeriodicalId":73099,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in photonics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139439234","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}

Since these lipids can be used to produce nutraceuticals and biodiesel in a sustainable way, research is developing on fast non-destructive methods to quantify and monitor the amount of lipids within microalgal cultures. In this paper, we have developed with digital holographic microscopy a fast quantitative method to assess the evolution of the lipid content inside the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum living cells. The method uses a specific processing of recorded hologram sequences based on the refocusing capability in digital holographic microscopy. In representative samples of the culture, inside living cells, each lipid droplet volume is evaluated. In those experiments, for each sample, more than one thousand lipid droplets are automatically analysed from a sequence of one hundred recorded holograms. We have validated the method thanks to correlative quantitative phase contrast–fluorescence imaging and extrapolated it to larger calibrated spherical refractive particles, to demonstrate the flexibility of the method.","PeriodicalId":73099,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in photonics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139381048","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}

Although in vivo confocal microscopy and optical coherence tomography are becoming more widely applicable to a variety of conditions, they are often prohibitively expensive, require specialized training and equipment, and are intrinsically insensitive to chemical changes. Here, ultraviolet-fluorescence imaging is proposed as a new technique to aid in investigation of the anterior segment. In this work, a novel two-color line-of-sight fluorescence imaging technique is described for imaging of the anterior segment. The technique is applied to seven ex vivo porcine eyes to illustrate the utility of the technique. The image data was used to estimate an effective fluorescence quantum yield of each eye at 370 nm. The eyes were then inoculated with bacteria to simulate microbial keratitis, a common sight-threatening infection, and the measurement was repeated. A simplified fluorescence-extinction model was developed to describe and analyze the relative intensities of the eye and biofilm fluorescence. Overall, the technique appears to have utility in clinical practice and with proper development may be suitable for detecting chemical changes in the eye, or the presence of foreign matter; however, further investigation is needed to develop the technique and analysis procedures into a quantitative diagnostic tool.","PeriodicalId":73099,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in photonics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139387680","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}

Perfect phase matching (PhM) is achieved between the fundamental waveguide mode at 1,550 nm and a higher-order mode at the second harmonic. The fabrication tolerances of the PhM condition are simulated using a finite-difference method mode solver, and conversion efficiencies as high as 3.92 W−1 are obtained for a 1-cm long waveguide. This design allows access to the largest element of the second-order nonlinear susceptibility tensor, and represents a scalable alternative to waveguides based on periodically-poled lithium niobate (PPLN). The design has the potential for generating pairs of entangled photons in the infrared C-band by spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC).","PeriodicalId":73099,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in photonics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139241743","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 recent widespread replacement of traditional light sources by blue-enriched LED lights has heightened concerns about the disruption of the blue-sensitive human circadian system by these LED lights and their impact on the multiple health disorders linked to circadian disruption. Despite these health concerns, less than 0.5% of the lighting sold today modifies spectral content and intensity between day and night. We report that 248 scientists, with a total of 2,697 peer-reviewed publications on light and circadian clocks since 2008, reached consensus on 25 statements about the impact of light on circadian rhythms and health based on accumulated scientific evidence, including support for the widespread introduction of circadian lighting and warning labels on blue-enriched LED lights indicating they “maybe harmful if used at night”.","PeriodicalId":73099,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in photonics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135590551","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}
