Whispering gallery mode (WGM) microresonators, thanks to their unique properties, have
allowed researchers to achieve important results in both fundamental research and …

Generally, nanophotonics is associated with plasmonic materials and structures made of
noble metals such as gold or silver. However, conventional plasmonic materials have …

To disentangle the elusive lipid–protein interactions in T‐cell activation, we investigate how
externally imposed variations in mobility of key membrane proteins (T‐cell receptor [TCR] …

A high-sensitivity, low-cost, ultrathin microbubble structure based on an Unsymmetrical air-
microbubble Fabry-Pérot interferometer (UAFPI) is proposed. The UAFPI, which has an …

We propose an optical fiber strain sensor consisting of a spliced twin-core fiber (TCF). The
sensor structure has two fiber tapers, which are weak taper and T-shaped taper. The taper …

Two different sensing structures based on a hollow microsphere Fabry-Perot cavity are
proposed. The hollow spheroidal cavities are fabricated resorting only to fusion splicing. The …

We propose a novel, to the best of our knowledge, sensor for nanovibration detection based
on a microsphere. The sensor consists of a stretched single-mode fiber and a 2 µm …

In this letter, we present a new structure composed by a long-period grating (LPG) and a
microsphere in series, which works as a modal interferometer besides allowing the mode …

A highly sensitive and ultracompact (12.5 µm) optic‐fiber strain sensor based on air‐
microbubble Fabry–Perot interferometer (FPI) formed in a tapered hollow core fiber (HCF) is …

Microsphere-gel materials, a distinct class of functional materials, exhibit exceptional
temperature sensing capabilities. This review delves into the advancement of temperature …
