We analyze optical and structural aging in As₂S₃ microstructured optical fibers (MOFs) that may have an impact on mid-infrared supercontinuum generation. A strong alteration of optical transparency at the fundamental OH absorption peak is measured for high-purity As₂S₃ MOF stored in atmospheric conditions. The surface evolution and inherent deviation of corresponding chemical composition confirm that the optical and chemical properties of MOFs degrade upon exposure to ambient conditions because of counteractive surface process. This phenomenon substantially reduces the optical quality of the MOFs and therefore restrains the spectral expansion of generated supercontinuum. This aging process is well confirmed by the good matching between previous experimental results and the reported numerical simulations based on the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation.

“…In addition, according to [18,19], water is known to initiate crack propagation on the glass surface and to decrease the mechanical strength of chalcogenide glasses. However, such phenomena depends on the glass composition, the presence of protective coat, surrounding atmosphere as well as the temperature [18,19]. Niu et al [18] reported the growth of cracks on the surface of As 2 S 3 corroded bulk when it is soaked in water.…”

Niu et al [18] reported the growth of cracks on the surface of As 2 S 3 corroded bulk when it is soaked in water. The previously described features are attributed to a corrosive surface reaction taking place between the glass and water, which is considered as an extremely deleterious surrounding medium.…”

“…The chemical aging changes correspond to modification of the local composition of the glass system. Such modifications result from a deleterious reactions process between the glass and the surrounding medium [18][19][20][21][22][23][24].

Sphygmomanometers typically use a rubber cuff around the upper arm to measure blood pressure, but this method can be uncomfortable. Thus, cuffless sphygmomanometers for continuous blood pressure monitoring in emergencies and healthcare are desirable. While electrical and optical blood pressure sensors offer high sensitivity, they often face issues like limited pressure range, temperature drift, slow response, and wearability problems. To tackle these limitations, the study designs a unique cuffless wearable blood pressure sensor (12 mm × 2 mm × 0.5 mm) featuring two original components: a GeSbS/AsS chalcogenide dual‐microring chip for high sensitivity, and a dual digital optical frequency comb (DDOFC) system for fast response and cost‐effective detection. The sensor is comparable to reported electrical and optical blood pressure sensors in its detection limit (23 Pa) but has a ten‐times faster response rate (2 kHz), a 1000‐times longer stable operation (>4.3 × 107 cycles), and a well‐compensated temperature drift (<0.012 pm/°C) that eliminates the need for temperature control. This innovation shows promise for wearable electronics and mobile healthcare, enabling the capture of critical cardiovascular details for applications like in‐surgery monitoring, orthostatic hypotension studies, and early detection of myocardial ischemia and strokes.
