We describe a technique for inscribing identical fiber Bragg gratings into each core of a multicore fiber. This is achieved by introducing an additional surface into the optical path to mitigate lensing by the curved surface of the fiber cladding.

In the macroscopic world, objects that are large enough to be seen by the naked eye follow the rules of classical physics. A billiard ball moving on a table will behave like a particle; it will continue traveling in a straight line unless it collides with another ball, or it is acted on by some other force, such as friction. The ball has a well-defined position and velocity or well-defined momentum, p = mv, which is defined by mass m and velocity v at any given moment. This is the typical...

The measurement protocol and data analysis procedure are given for obtaining transverse coherence of a synchrotron radiation X-ray source along four directions simultaneously using a single 2-D checkerboard phase grating. This simple technique can be applied for complete transverse coherence characterization of X-ray sources and X-ray optics.

The Lewis structure of a nitrite anion (NO2−) may actually be drawn in two different ways, distinguished by the locations of the N-O and N=O bonds. If nitrite ions do indeed contain a single and a double bond, the two bond lengths are expected to be different. A double bond between two atoms is shorter (and stronger) than a single bond between the same two atoms. However, experiments show that both N–O bonds in NO2− have the same strength and length, and are identical in all other...

The grating’s periodic surface features couple incident light into a guided optical mode only at selected wavelengths. This coupling produces a resonance that can be monitored optically. Because the resonance depends on the optical environment near the surface, changes in that environment alter the selected wavelength and provide a measurable signal for surface-associated biological events.
Molecular binding changes the effective refractive index near the grating surface. Since the guided optical mode responds to this local optical environment, the wavelength at which resonance occurs shifts. Measuring that shift connects an optical change with biomolecular interaction at the surface, allowing detection without attaching fluorescent labels to the interacting molecules.
Events that modify the material immediately around the sensing surface can change the resonance response. The provided context identifies biomolecular binding, cell attachment, and other surface-associated events as relevant examples. These processes affect the local refractive index, so wavelength monitoring can track changes occurring at a biological interface rather than requiring a separate fluorescent signal.
A measurement begins by directing incident light toward the periodic grating and observing the wavelength associated with its guided-mode resonance. The system then monitors how that resonance changes when molecules bind, cells attach, or another surface event occurs. Interpreting the wavelength shift provides information about the biological change while avoiding fluorescent tagging.
They are useful when researchers need label-free measurements at biological interfaces. Supported applications include biosensor development, drug-response studies, and real-time analysis of surface-associated events. By observing resonance changes directly, the approach can reduce assay complexity and support monitoring of interactions or cellular behavior without adding fluorescent tags.
In drug-response studies, the grating can provide a real-time optical readout of changes occurring near its surface. If treatment alters biomolecular interactions, cell attachment, or another surface-associated process, the local refractive index may change and shift the resonance wavelength. This creates a label-free way to follow biological responses at the interface.
