A novel [math]-ketoamide reactivity-based two-photon fluorogenic probe for visualizing peroxynitrite in Parkinson ’s disease models
Journal of Innovative Optical Health Sciences, Ahead of Print. Peroxynitrite (ONOO[math] contributes to oxidative stress and neurodegeneration in Parkinson ’s disease (PD). Developing a peroxynitrite probe would enable in situ visualization of the overwhelming ONOO− flux and understanding of the ONOO− stress-induced neuropathology of PD. Herein, a novel [math]-ketoamide-based fluorogenic probe (DFlu) was designed for ONOO− monitoring in multip le PD models. The results demonstrated that DFlu exhibits a fluorescence turn-on response to ONOO− with high specificity and sensitivity. The efficacy of DFlu for intracel...

1.3 [math]m broadband swept sources with enhanced nonlinear effects
Journal of Innovative Optical Health Sciences, Ahead of Print. In this work, a new structure is used to enhance the nonlinear effect in the cavity, which improves the performance of the 1.3[math][math]m broadband swept source. The swept source adopts a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA), a circulator, a coupler, and a tunable filter. In the structure, the light passes through the nonlinear medium (SOA) twice in two opposite directions, which excites the nonlinear effect and increases the performance of the swept source. The tunable filter is based on a polygon rotating mirror and gratings. Traditionally, multiple SOAs a...

Hybrid reconstruction framework for model-based multispectral bioluminescence tomography based on Alpha-divergence
Journal of Innovative Optical Health Sciences, Ahead of Print. Bioluminescence tomography (BLT) is a promising imaging modality that can provide noninvasive three-dimensional visualization information on tumor distribution. In BLT reconstruction, the widely used methods based on regularization or greedy strategy face problems such as over-sparsity, over-smoothing, spatial discontinuity, poor robustness, and poor multi-target resolution. To deal with these problems, combining the advantages of the greedy strategies as well as regularization methods, we propose a hybrid reconstruction framework for model-based multispectral ...

Deep-learning-based methods for super-resolution fluorescence microscopy
Journal of Innovative Optical Health Sciences, Ahead of Print. The algorithm used for reconstruction or resolution enhancement is one of the factors affecting the quality of super-resolution images obtained by fluorescence microscopy. Deep-learning-based algorithms have achieved state-of-the-art performance in super-resolution fluorescence microscopy and are becoming increasingly attractive. We firstly introduce commonly-used deep learning models, and then review the latest applications in terms of the network architectures, the training data and the loss functions. Additionally, we discuss the challenges and limits when u...

Research on the detection of early caries based on hyperspectral imaging
Conclusion: The results have shown that the interference of tooth surface pigment can be eliminated in the near-infrared (NIR) waveband, and the caries can be effectively identified from the pigmented areas. Thus, it could be used to detect carious areas of teeth in place of the traditional visual inspection method or white light endoscopy. Clinical significance: The NIR diffused light signal enables the identification of early caries from pigment and other interference, providing a reasonable detection tool for early detection and early treatment of teeth diseases.

Coherent Raman scattering imaging of lipid metabolism in cancer
Journal of Innovative Optical Health Sciences, Ahead of Print. Cancer cells dysregulate lipid metabolism to accelerate energy production and biomolecule synthesis for rapid growth. Lipid metabolism is highly dynamic and intrinsically heterogeneous at the single cell level. Although fluorescence microscopy has been commonly used for cancer research, bulky fluorescent probes can hardly label small lipid molecules without perturbing their biological activities. Such a challenge can be overcome by coherent Raman scattering (CRS) microscopy, which is capable of chemically selective, highly sensitive, submicron resolution and hi...

Nonlinear optical imaging by detection with optical parametric amplification (invited paper)
Journal of Innovative Optical Health Sciences, Ahead of Print. Nonlinear optical imaging is a versatile tool that has been proven to be exceptionally useful in various research fields. However, due to the use of photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), the wide application of nonlinear optical imaging is limited by the incapability of imaging under ambient light. In this paper, we propose and demonstrate a new optical imaging detection method based on optical parametric amplification (OPA). As a nonlinear optical process, OPA intrinsically rejects ambient light photons by coherence gating. Periodical poled lithium niobate (PPLN) crys...
