The progress and perspectives of terahertz technology for diagnosis of neoplasms: a review

Abstract: Over the past decades, signicant attention has been paid to biomedical applications of terahertz (THz) technology. Nowadays, THz spectroscopy and imaging allow for solving numerous demanding problems in biological, medical, food, plant and pharmaceutical sciences. Among all biomedical applications, a label-free diagnosis of malignant and benign neoplasms represents one of the most attractive branches of THz technology. Despite the attractiveness, the methods of THz diagnosis are still far from medical practice. In this review, we consider the modern research results in THz diagnosis of malignant and benign neoplasms, along with the topical research and engineering problems, which restrain the THz technology translation to clinics. We start from analysis of the common models of THz-wave { tissue interactions and the eects of tissue exposure to THz waves. Then, we discuss existing modalities of THz spectroscopic and imaging systems, which either have been already applied in medical imaging, or hold strong potential. We summarize the earlier-reported and the original results of THz measurements of neoplasms with dierent nosology and localization. We pay attention to the origin of contrast between healthy and pathological tissues in the THz spectra and images and discuss the prospective of THz technology in non-invasive, minimally-invasive and intraoperative diagnosis, as well as in aiding histology. Finally, we review the challenging problems of THz diagnosis, as well as attempts to solve them, which should bring the THz technology much closer to the medical practice. This review allows one to objectively uncover benets and weaknesses of the THz technology in diagnosis of malignant and benign neoplasms.

Ultrabright Room-Temperature Sub-Nanosecond Emission from Single Nitrogen-Vacancy Centers Coupled to Nanopatch Antennas

Abstract: Solid-state quantum emitters are in high demand for emerging technologies such as advanced sensing and quantum information processing. Generally, these emitters are not sufficiently bright for practical applications, and a promising solution consists in coupling them to plasmonic nanostructures. Plasmonic nanostructures support broadband modes, making it possible to speed up the fluorescence emission in room-temperature emitters by several orders of magnitude. However, one has not yet achieved such a fluorescence lifetime shortening without a substantial loss in emission efficiency, largely because of strong absorption in metals and emitter bleaching. Here, we demonstrate ultrabright single-photon emission from photostable nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in nanodiamonds coupled to plasmonic nanocavities made of low-loss single-crystalline silver. We observe a 70-fold difference between the average fluorescence lifetimes and a 90-fold increase in the average detected saturated intensity. The nanocavity-coupl...
