TL;DR: In this paper , the authors exploit the peculiarities of cancer metabolism for discriminating cancer from WBCs using deuterated glucose and Raman microscopy and show that the known ability of cancer cells to take up glucose at greatly increased rates compared to non-cancer cells results in the lipid generation and accumulation into lipid droplets and by contrast, leukocytes do not appear to generate visible LDs.

TL;DR: The proposed devices will pave the way towards the development of Er-based photodetectors and light sources to be monolithically integrated in the same silicon substrate, and both operating at 1.55 µm.

TL;DR: In this article, an advanced overview in the field of near-infrared silicon photodetectors is presented, which is based on the internal photoemission effect through a Schottky junction and their fabrication results completely compatible with the silicon technology.

TL;DR: In this paper, an electro-optic Si-based amplitude light modulator working at 1.5 μm is presented. But the authors do not specify the frequency at which the free carriers are generated and placed inside the channel.

TL;DR: The proposed technique could be applied to investigate the frequency of aberrant spermatozoa and constitute the basis of an alternative method for the zoothecnic industry aimed at the investigation of morphological features and the sorting of the motile sperm cells.
