Hollow-core photonic crystal fiber based multifunctional optical system for trapping, position sensing, and detection of fluorescent particles by Shinoj, Vengalathunadakal Kuttinarayanan, Murukeshan, Vadakke Matham

“…We demonstrate a novel multifunctional optical system that is capable of trapping, imaging, position sensing, and fluorescence detection of micrometer-sized fluorescent test particles using hollow-core photonic crystal fiber (HC-PCF). This multifunctional optical system for trapping, position sensing, and fluorescent detection is designed such that a near-IR laser light is used to create an optical trap across a liquid-filled HC-PCF, and a 473 nm laser is employed as a source for fluorescence excitation. …”

Strategies to control crystal growth of highly ordered rubrene thin films for application in organic photodetectors by Hofmann, A, Wolansky, J, Hambsch, M, Talnack, F, Bittrich, E, Winkler, L, Herzog, M, Zhang, T, Antrack, T, Winkler, LC, Schröder, J, Riede, M, Mannsfeld, SCB, Benduhn, J, Leo, K

“…Organic semiconductors still lag behind their inorganic counterparts in terms of mobility due to their lower structural order, in particular in thin films. Here, the highly ordered phase of triclinic rubrene – characterized by high vertical hole mobility – grown from a vacuum-deposited thin film is used by post-annealing and implemented into organic photodetectors. …”
