Metal enhanced fluorescence of Oxazine 720 fluorophore with gold and gold/silver core-shell nanorods is investigated experimentally in aqueous solution system. Metallic nanorods are synthesized for providing proper localized surface plasmon resonance and necessary enhancement to the fluorophore molecule. The experimental observation shows that the fluorescence enhancement increases firstly and then decreases when the concentration of metallic nanorods increases, which is resulted by the competition between enhanced emission and inner filtering effect. Further investigation with different amounts of metallic nanorods shows that the relationship between metal enhanced fluorescence and spectral cur relation strongly depends on the concentration of metallic nanorods.

The optimal arrangement of NCs was determined by comparing the Raman signal detection of probe molecules. The results show that the island membrane Au@Ag NCs array substrate obtained by evaporation-induced self-assembly has strong local electromagnetic fields, enabling it to have great potential in molecular detection, biosensing, and food safety monitoring.

Compressive hyperspectral imaging based on Images Structure Similarity and deep image prior

Xiaorui Qu, Jufeng Zhao, Haijun Tian, Junjie Zhu, Guangmang Cui

Summary: This paper studies the structural similarity between RGB and spectral images and proposes a non-iterative Images Structure Similarity (ISS) method for fast reconstruction of spectral images. Additionally, the input of the Deep Image Prior (DIP) method is optimized for the first time by using the initial spectral data reconstructed by ISS, leading to an improved starting value for the iteration. The experimental results show that the proposed method can enhance the reconstruction quality in both spectral and spatial resolutions, while significantly reducing the reconstruction time compared to other DIP-based methods.
