optical biosensors such as photoplethysmography (PPG), pulse oximetry, and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) are critical health monitoring tools, providing critical insights into physiological indicators such as heart rate (HR), oxygen saturation, blood pressure (BP), and respiratory rate (RR). At the core of these sensors are photodetectors (PDs), which are available in various types, including inorganic [such as p-n, p-i-n, avalanche, CMOS, single-photon avalanche, silicon photomultiplier (SiPM), and dynamic PDs (DPDs)] and organic (such as bulk heterojunction (BHJ), photomultiplication (PM), and hybrid CMOS PDs). The choice of a PD significantly influences optical biosensor performance by affecting key factors such as photosensitivity, detectivity, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), dynamic range (DR), low-light detection, parasitic capacitance, dark current, noise, power consumption, and design complexity. This article provides a detailed review of the latest innovations in PDs and their associated readout circuit designs, highlighting how they enhance the performance of optical biosignal sensing. It also explores future trends in PD development, including high-mobility semiconductors, ultrathin PD layers, and novel fabrication techniques that are driving the evolution of the next-generation biosignal sensing solutions.

The optical Penning Gauge for partial pressure measurements has been successfully implemented in the lower high-field side diagnostic port of the COMPASS tokamak, demonstrating a cost-effective way for resolving deuterium and helium and enabling measurements on timescales of about ten milliseconds. The procedure of its implementation is described in detail. Calibration data for deuterium and helium are discussed, including the effect of deuterium pressure on the helium channel. Time-resolved measurements of the working gas (deuterium) and the main gaseous impurity (helium) show, how helium, used for glow discharge conditioning and typically amounting to 5 - 10 % in the shots, is released from the surface of the tokamak vacuum vessel and the plasmafacing components during the subsequent shot. Behavior of both gases in L-mode, ELM-free and ELMy H-mode regimes and even just after the main (high-current high-temperature) discharge is exemplified. Surprisingly long low-current after-discharges (2 - 3 kA, about 100 ms), predominantly in helium, were observed with the optical Penning Gauge and confirmed with other diagnostics. Simulations of the breakdown and burn-through phase for COMPASS using the DYON code are introduced, showing reasonable agreement with the measured data.

External quantum efficiency (EQE) measurements of individual subcells in multijunction photovoltaic devices are essential to evaluate current matching and to iterate the design process. The standard light biasing technique used to measure subcell EQE falls short when multiple subcells absorb within the same spectral region. In this work, we demonstrate a three-step reverse voltage biasing EQE method, which measures any number of subcells with overlapping absorptance: (1) A light bias is applied to generate current mismatch between the subcells. (2) current-voltage (I-v) characteristics are measured into reverse bias, where the limiting subcell enters reverse-bias breakdown and the device current climbs to a plateau at the photocurrent of the next limiting subcell, producing a staircase I-v curve. (3) Each subcell EQE curve is measured using a voltage bias within its current plateau. We demonstrate this approach for a two-junction GaAs-based photonic power converter, comparing to the standard light biasing method and revealing better than 0.8% absolute agreement when the top junction is preferentially biased in the reverse voltage biasing method. We demonstrate the viability of the method by measuring the EQE of all subcells in a six-junction GaAs-based photonic power converter.

Head-up displays (HUDs) in aircraft, spacecraft, and automobiles are principally considered a safety assistance system. HUDs are transparent displays that are installed in the vehicle in an order that the observer, driver, or pilot can see pertinent information in their line of sight. current HUD systems are developed with conventional optics, which requires a large amount of space occupancy in the cabin or cockpit, thus creating accommodation challenges for the other devices. HUD systems containing multiple components have more operational challenges such as precise micron-level angular movement of folding mirror and associated significant amount of power drain of the vehicle's battery. In this research article, a HUD design containing a single freeform mirror without compromising the optical performance of the system is proposed. The novel design provides the opportunity to make the system more compact and energy efficient as no separate electro-mechanical component is required for beam folding and additional tracking devices. Also, the larger Eyebox dimension obtained with the use of freeform mirror makes the HUD system definitive for extreme operational conditions and flexible observation from various heights. With the utilization of concurrentengineering, a two-phase authentic developmental process chain is presented for the freeform mirror-based HUD system. Ultra-precision single-point diamond turning with on-machine surface measurement is utilized to convert the design of various surfaces to physical functional elements of sub-micron level form accuracy and nano-metric level surface roughness. Finally, the HUD system is validated through optical functional testing.

Physical stimuli-responsive DNA hydrogels hold immense potential for tissue engineering due to their inherent biocompatibility, tunable properties, and capacity to replicate the mechanical environment of natural tissue, making physical stimuli-responsive DNA hydrogels a promising candidate for tissue engineering. These hydrogels can be tailored to respond to specific physical triggers such as temperature, light, magnetic fields, ultrasound, mechanical force, and electrical stimuli, allowing precise control over their behavior. By mimicking the extracellular matrix (ECM), DNA hydrogels provide structural support, biomechanical cues, and cell signaling essential for tissue regeneration. This article explores various physical stimuli and their incorporation into DNA hydrogels, including DNA self-assembly and hybrid DNA hydrogel methods. The aim is to demonstrate how DNA hydrogels, in conjunction with other biomolecules and the ECM environment, generate dynamic scaffolds that respond to physical stimuli to facilitate tissue regeneration. We investigate the most recent developments in cancer therapies, including injectable DNA hydrogel for bone regeneration, personalized scaffolds, and dynamic culture models for drug discovery. The study concludes by delineating the remaining obstacles and potential future orientations in the optimization of DNA hydrogel design for the regeneration and reconstruction of tissue. It also addresses strategies for surmounting current challenges and incorporating more sophisticated technologies, thereby facilitating the clinical translation of these innovative hydrogels.
