TL;DR: The fabrication of SiGe-core optical fibres are reported, and the use of CO2 laser irradiation to heat the glass cladding and recrystallize the core, improving optical transmission and observing the ramifications of the classic models of solidification at the microscale.

TL;DR: The advent of large field-of-view chip-based nanoscopy opens up new routes in diagnostics where high throughput is needed for the detection of non-diffuse disease, or rare events such as the early detection of cancer.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate resonance Raman measurements of hemoglobin, a crucial component of blood, at 532-nm excitation using a tantalum pentoxide (Ta2O5) waveguide platform.

TL;DR: In this paper , the photonic chip was introduced as a feasible high-throughput microscopy platform for super-resolution imaging of histological samples, including human placenta, mouse kidney, pig heart, and zebrafish eye retina.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a high refractive index waveguide material with a high-intensity evanescent field stretching around 100-200 nm outside the guiding material, which is ideally suited for total internal reflection fluorescence excitation over large areas.
