Based on the investigation on the CAH of waterdroplet on surfaces with various static wettability, it was found that the rolling resistance coefficient of water droplet ishighly influenced by the surface pattern as well as CAH. The observed results suggest that the optimal surface patternsshould be designed in order to minimize the rolling resistance of water droplet for the practical applications wheresuperhydrophocitiy is required.Keywords: Superhydrophobicity, Contact angle hysteresis, Rolling resistance, Rolling resistance coefficient

【Bioimaging has advanced the field of nanomedicine, drug delivery, and tissue engineering by directly visualizing the dynamic mechanism of diagnostic agents or therapeutic drugs in the body. In particular, wide-field, planar, near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging has the potential to revolutionize human surgery by providing real-time image guidance to surgeons for target tissues to be resected and vital tissues to be preserved. In this review, we introduce the principles of NIR fluorescence imaging and analyze currently available NIR fluorescence imaging systems with special focus on optical source and packaging. We also introduce the evolution of the FLARE intraoperative imaging technology as an example for image-guided surgery.】

This study proposes a simple cost-effective method of optical interconnection with a view to minimizing and overcoming the excess loss caused by the alignment tolerance between optical waveguides in the integration/interface process in order to fabricate a large-area optical circuit layer. To that end, a large-area polymeric mold with a continuous channel structure was fabricated. The fabrication process consisted of fabricating the primary polymer mold by using the original master in the polymer replication process and involved the simple alignment of the replicated polymeric mold so that only some sections overlapped with the original master. The dimensions (i.e., width and thickness) of the cavity of the polymeric mold were identical to those of the original master. When the original master was inserted into the cavity of the polymeric mold after having separated the original master and the polymeric mold, the rib structures of the original master and the channel structures of the polymeric mold could be arranged in a passive alignment. A large-area polymeric mold with a continuous channel structure was fabricated by coating a polymeric solution onto the non-overlapping original master. For this study, a polymeric multimode optical waveguide with a length of 200 mm was fabricated using the original master with a length of 130 mm with 50 straight ribs. The excess loss of the proposed large-area multimode optical waveguide interconnection, compared with the original master-based optical waveguide, was 0 dB at 850 nm.

We propose an integrated structure that combines chip and fiber array blocks for optical interconnection with a polymeric planar lightwave circuit (PLC) device using the roll-to-roll imprint process. The fiber array blocks and PLC chip of the integrated structure are fabricated on the same substrate, and the alignments in the three spatial directions were established with the insertion of an optical fiber. The characteristics of the integrated structure were evaluated by fabricating a 1×2 optical splitter device. The structure had an insertion loss of 3.9 dB, and the optical uniformity of the channel was 0.1 dB, indicating that the same performance for an active alignment can be expected.

Here, we present a new double-side patterned sapphire sub- strate methodology that improves the efficiency of gallium nitride-light emitting diodes (GaN-LEDs). The light extraction efficiency of GaN- based LEDs was analyzed through the use of a ray-tracing simulation. The extraction efficiency was simulated using patterned sapphire sub- strate LEDs with a variety of shapes, depths, sizes, and spacing. Through the optimal patterning of the various factors, high extraction effi- ciency was realized and subsequently improved upon. The thermal LED characteristics were analyzed through the use of the COMSOL general heat transfer module. The LEDs patterned on the sapphire substrate were fabricated using nano imprint lithography. We found that the output power of the double-side patterned LED was 52% greater than that of a flat LED. The thermal resistance of the double side patterned LED was 9.5 K∕W less than that found for the flat LED. © The Authors. Published by
