Summary: This article proposes an optical fiber sensor probe based on the localized surface plasma resonance (LSPR) technique for the detection of creatinine in aquaculture. The sensor probe is functionalized using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), niobium carbide (Nb(2)CTx) MXene, and creatinase (CA) enzyme. The probe modifies the intrinsic total internal reflection (TIR) mechanism to increase evanescent field intensity and thus enhance sensitivity. The specific recognition is improved by Nb(2)CTx MXene adsorbing more active CA enzymes.

Summary: The study focuses on the application of NbxRe(1-x)S2 nanosheets in ultrafast photonics. By incorporating the NbxRe(1-x)S2-microfiber saturable absorber into a net positive dispersion Er-doped fiber laser cavity, stable dissipative soliton pulses were generated. The NbxRe(1-x)S2-based mode-locked fiber laser demonstrated superior comprehensive performance compared to previous works based on 2D materials-based saturable absorbers.

Summary: The photoluminescence mechanism of carbon dots (CDs) remains unclear due to their complex core-shell structure and variety of surface functional groups. In this study, we prepared six different oPD-based CDs and found that they had almost the same PL emission and absorption spectra after purification. Structural and spectral characterization revealed similar carbon core structures but different surface polymer shells. Single-molecule PL spectroscopy confirmed that the multi-modal emission of those CDs originated from the transitions of different vibrational energy levels of the same PL center in the carbon core. Theoretical calculations provided insights into the potential polymerization mode and carbon core structure. Additionally, the phenomenon of spectral splitting of single-particle CDs was observed at low temperature, indicating their unique properties as both organic molecules and quantum dots.
