“…Therefore, PNJs and PHs have attracted great attention, and several typical methods have been proposed to generate and modulate them, including geometric design [5][6][7][8][9], adjustment of incidence [10][11][12], application of additional masks [13][14][15][16][17], and so on. PNJs and PHs have shown application potential in fields such as terahertz devices [18], sensors [19], bio-medicine [20], cellular and particle manipulation [21][22][23], super-resolution imaging [24,25], and so on.…”

Photonic nanojets (PNJs) and photonic hooks (PHs) are two significant effects in Mesotronics. However, it is difficult to analyze and control the two phenomena generated by diffraction-based structures, such as rectangles and right-angled trapezoids, using diffraction theory. This work focuses on the modulation of incident fields by edge diffraction and the reconstruction of energy distribution, and proposes a model based on energy flows and energy reconstruction, called the “energy-based model”, to analyze the formation of PNJs and PHs through such structures. This model reveals that the morphology of PNJ and PH originates from the contributions of different regions of the incident energy, especially the crucial influence of edge diffraction, and successfully clarifies the modulation mechanism of the near-field and far-field regions of PNJ, as well as the tailoring mechanism of the two arms of PH. On the one hand, the model provides reasonable and intuitive explanations for the control of energy flow paths resulting from edge diffraction in rectangles and their variants with different parameters on the generation of PNJs and PHs. On the other hand, it also serves as a basis for reverse design. By adjusting energy flow and energy reconstruction through alterations in incident conditions or structural shapes, PHJs and PHs can be tailored easily and flexibly. The model is also been validated to be applicable in explaining many reported works. The results indicate that the “energy-based model”, which describes the energy flow paths resulting from edge diffraction, offers intuitive, convenient, and predictive advantages in analyzing the morphological variations of PNJs and PHs generated by diffraction-based structures, such as rectangles, trapezoids, and their variants. This provides a valuable reference for relevant research on Mesotronics.

Array-designed triboelectric nanogenerators (AD-TENGs) have firmly established themselves as state-of-the-art technologies for adeptly converting mechanical interactions into electrical signals. Central to the AD-TENG’s prowess is its inherent modularity and the multifaceted, grid-like design that pave the way to robust and adaptable detection platforms for wearables and real-time health monitoring systems. In this review, we aim to elucidate the quintessential role of array design in AD-TENGs for healthcare detection, emphasizing its ability to heighten sensitivity, spatial resolution, and dynamic monitoring while ensuring redundancy and simultaneous multi-detection. We begin from the fundamental aspects, such as working principles and design basis, then venture into methodologies for optimizing AD-TENGs that ensure the capture of intricate physiological changes, from nuanced muscle movements to sensitive electronic skin. After this, our exploration extends to the possible cutting-edge electronic systems that are built with specific advantages in filtering noise, magnifying signal-to-noise ratios, and interpreting complex real-time datasets on the basis of AD-TENGs. Culminating our discourse, we highlight the challenges and prospective pathways in the evolution of array-designed AD-TENGs, stressing the necessity to refine their sensitivity, adaptability, and reliability to perfectly align with the exacting demands of contemporary healthcare diagnostics.

“…Thus, being an almost non-invasive analytical technique, luminescence-based sensing has become an effective analytical tool extensively used in the chemical, biomedical, and diagnostic fields due to its unique capability in terms of the sensitive monitoring of metal ions [1][2][3][4], anions [5,6], reactive oxygen species [7,8], and biomolecules [9,10]. This approach combines the benefits of real-time analysis with in situ detection [11]; however, the common solid state luminophores such as quantum dots [12,13], polymers [14,15], or organic dyes [16,17] suffer the shortcomings of low luminescence quantum efficiency and having a small extinction coefficient [18][19][20][21], which severely limits applications of these materials in the form of thin solid films for the highly sensitive detection of analytes.…”

A Laser-Printed Surface-Enhanced Photoluminescence Sensor for the Sub-Nanomolar Optical Detection of Mercury in Water

Here, we report a novel, easy-to-implement scalable single-step procedure for the fabrication of a solid-state surface-enhanced photoluminescence (SEPL) sensor via the direct femtosecond (fs) laser patterning of monocrystalline Si wafers placed under the layer of functionalizing solution simultaneously containing a metal salt precursor (AgNO3) and a photoluminescent probe (d114). Such laser processing creates periodically modulated micro- and nanostructures decorated with Ag nanoparticles on the Si surface, which effectively adsorbs and retains the photoluminescent sensor layer. The SEPL effect stimulated by the micro- and nanostructures formed on the Si surface localizing pump radiation within the near-surface layer and surface plasmons supported by the decorating Ag nanoparticles is responsible for the intense optical sensory response modulated by a small amount of analyte species. The produced SEPL sensor operating within a fluidic device was found to detect sub-nanomolar concentrations of Hg2+ in water which is two orders of magnitude lower compared to this molecular probe sensitivity in solution. The fabrication technique is upscalable, inexpensive, and flexible regarding the ability to the control surface nano-morphology, the amount and type of loading noble-metal nanoparticles, as well as the type of molecular probe. This opens up pathways for the on-demand development of various multi-functional chemosensing platforms with expanded functionality.
