Ultrathin lensless fibre endoscopes offer minimally invasive investigation, but they mostly operate as a rigid type due to the need for prior calibration of a fibre probe. Furthermore, most implementations work in fluorescence mode rather than label-free imaging mode, making them unsuitable for medicine and industry. Herein, we report a fully flexible ultrathin fibre endoscope taking 3D holographic images of unstained tissues with 0.87-{mu}m spatial resolution. Using a bare fibre bundle as thin as 200-{mu}m diameter, we design a lensless Fourier holographic imaging configuration to selectively detect weak reflections from biological tissues, a critical step for stain-free reflectance imaging. A unique algorithm is developed for calibration-free holographic image reconstruction, allowing us to image through a narrow and curved passage regardless of fibre bending. We demonstrate endoscopic reflectance imaging of unstained rat intestine tissues that are completely invisible to conventional endoscopes. The proposed endoscope will expedite more accurate and earlier diagnosis than before with minimal complications.

We introduce a new modality for dynamic phase imaging in confocal microscopy based on synthetic optical holography. By temporal demultiplexing of the detector signal into a series of holograms, we record time-resolved phase images directly in the tim
e domain at a bandwidth as determined by the photo detector and digitizer. We demonstrate our method by optical imaging of transient vibrations in an atomic force microscope cantilever with 100 ns time resolution, and observe the dynamic deformation of the cantilever surface after excitation with broadband mechanical pulses. Temporal Fourier transform of a single data set acquired in 4.2 minutes yields frequency and mode profile of all excited out-of-plane vibration modes with sub-picometer vertical sensitivity and sub-micrometer lateral resolution. Our method has the potential for transient and spectroscopic vibration imaging of micromechanical systems at nano- and picosecond scale time resolution.
One of the fundamental limitations in photonics is the lack of a bidirectional transducer that can convert optical information into electronic signals or vice versa. In acoustics or at microwave frequencies, wave signals can be simultaneously measure
d and modulated by a single transducer. In optics, however, optical fields are generally measured via reference-based interferometry or holography using silicone-based image sensors, whereas they are modulated using spatial light modulators. Here, we propose a scheme for an optical bidirectional transducer using a spatial light modulator. By exploiting the principle of time-reversal symmetry of light scattering, two-dimensional reference-free measurement and modulation of optical fields are realized. We experimentally demonstrate the optical bidirectional transducer for optical information consisting of 128 x 128 spatial modes at visible and short-wave infrared wavelengths.
One of the most fundamental quantities associated with polymer translocation through a nanopore is the translocation time $tau$ and its dependence on the chain length $N$. Our simulation results based on both the bond fluctuation Monte Carlo and Mole
cular Dynamics methods confirm the original prediction $tausim N^{2 u+1}$, which scales in the same manner as the Rouse relaxation time of the chain except for a larger prefactor, and invalidates other scaling claims.
Several fields of applications require a reliable characterization of the photothermal response and heat dissipation of nanoscopic systems, which remains a challenging task both for modeling and experimental measurements. Here, we present a new imple
mentation of anti-Stokes thermometry that enables the in situ photothermal characterization of individual nanoparticles (NPs) from a single hyperspectral photoluminescence confocal image. The method is label-free, applicable to any NP with detectable anti-Stokes emission, and does not require any prior information about the NP itself or the surrounding media. With it, we first studied the photothermal response of spherical gold NPs of different sizes on glass substrates, immersed in water, and found that heat dissipation is mainly dominated by the water for NPs larger than 50 nm. Then, the role of the substrate was studied by comparing the photothermal response of 80 nm gold NPs on glass with sapphire and graphene, two materials with high thermal conductivity. For a given irradiance level, the NPs reach temperatures 18% lower on sapphire and 24% higher on graphene than on bare glass. The fact that the presence of a highly conductive material such as graphene leads to a poorer thermal dissipation demonstrates that interfacial thermal resistances play a very significant role in nanoscopic systems, and emphasize the need for in situ experimental thermometry techniques. The developed method will allow addressing several open questions about the role of temperature in plasmon-assisted applications, especially ones where NPs of arbitrary shapes are present in complex matrixes and environments.
We demonstrate the use of nanodiamond in constructing holographic nanoparticle-polymer composite transmission gratings with large saturated refractive index modulation amplitudes at both optical and slow-neutron wavelengths, resulting in efficient co
ntrol of light and slow-neutron beams. Nanodiamond possesses a high refractive index at optical wavelengths and large coherent and small incoherent scattering cross sections with low absorption at slow-neutron wavelengths. We describe the synthesis of nanodiamond, the preparation of photopolymerizable nanodiamond-polymer composite films, the construction of transmission gratings in nanodiamond-polymer composite films and light optical diffraction experiments. Results of slow-neutron diffraction from such gratings are also presented.
