Abstract
Absorption spectroscopy is a widely used analytical technique due to its label-free nature, however its application to small liquid samples is hampered by the associated short absorption pathlengths, which limit sensitivity. A novel concept for the development of an ultrasensitive broadband absorption spectrometer optimised for thin liquid films is presented here. To enhance sensitivity of the absorbance measurements an optical cavity is implemented on a fibre-based absorption spectrometer (CEASpec). Light is circulated multiple times through the sample of interest to increase sensitivity. The bandwidth of the instrument is chosen by the choice of the dielectric mirrors forming the optical cavity spectra and, in this implementation, has been set to be 200 nm wide (250-450 nm). The sensing volume of the spectroscope is prescribed by the choice of optical fibres employed to deliver light to the sample, and in this implementation fibres of 400 μm in diameter were employed, giving a sensing volume of 630 picolitres for a thin film of 5 μm in thickness. Amphotericin B, a broad light absorber in the 280-450 nm region of the spectrum, was used here to prove the capabilities of the proposed cavity enhanced absorption spectroscope. Cavity enhancement factors, the equivalent pathlength increase over classical absorption spectroscopy, in the range of 200× have been achieved across a broad wavelength range.

Abstract
In this study, we report the development of an electrically active solid-liquid interface for the evanescent-wave cavity-ring-down spectroscopic (EW-CRDS) technique to enable spectroelectrochemical investigations of redox events. Because of a high-quality transparent conductive electrode film of indium tin oxide (ITO) coated on the interface of total internal reflection of the EW-CRDS platform, a cavity ring-down time of about 900 ns was obtained allowing spectroelectrochemical studies at solid-liquid interfaces. As a proof-of-concept on the capabilities of the developed platform, measurements were performed to address the effects of an applied electric potential to the adsorption behavior of the redox protein cytochrome c (Cyt-C) onto different interfaces, namely, bare-ITO, 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES), and Cyt-C antibody. For each interface, the adsorption and desorption constants, the surface equilibrium constant, the Gibbs free energy of adsorption, and the surface coverage were optically measured by our electrically active EW-CRDS tool. Optical measurements at a set of constant discrete values of the applied electric potential were acquired for kinetic adsorption analysis. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) scans under synchronous optical readout were performed to study the effects of each molecular interface on the redox process of surface-adsorbed protein species. Overall, the experimental results demonstrate the ability of the electro-active EW-CRDS platform to unambiguously measure electrode-driven redox events of surface-confined molecular species at low submonolayer coverages and at a single diffraction-limited spot. Such capability is expected to open several opportunities for the EW-CRDS technique to investigate a variety of electrochemical phenomena at solid-liquid interfaces.

Abstract
The first supercontinuum (SC) absorption spectroscopy measurements showing the feasibility of quantitative temperature evaluation are presented to the best of the authors' knowledge. Temperature and multi-species measurements were carried out at a detection rate of ~2 MHz in a high-temperature flow cell within a temperature range from 450 K to 750 K at 0.22 MPa, representing conditions during the suction and compression stroke in an internal combustion (IC) engine. The broadband SC pulses were temporally dispersed into fast wavelength sweeps, covering the overtone absorption bands 2ν(1), 2ν(3), ν(1) + ν(3) of H2O and 3ν(3) of CO2 in the near-infrared region from 1330 nm to 1500 nm. The temperature information is inferred from the peak ratio of a temperature sensitive (1362.42 nm) and insensitive (1418.91 nm) absorption feature in the ν(1) + ν(3) overtone bands of water. The experimental results are in very good agreement with theoretical intensity ratios calculated from absorption spectra based on HiTran data.

Abstract
Evanescent wave cavity ring-down spectroscopy (EW-CRDS) has been employed to study the interfacial adsorption kinetics of coumarin-tagged macromolecules onto a range of functionalized planar surfaces. Such studies are valuable in designing polymers for complex systems where the degree of interaction between the polymer and surface needs to be tailored. Three tagged synthetic polymers with different functionalities are examined: poly(acrylic acid) (PAA), poly(3-sulfopropyl methacrylate, potassium salt) (PSPMA), and a mannose-modified glycopolymer. Adsorption transients at the silica/water interface are found to be characteristic for each polymer, and kinetics are deduced from the initial rates. The chemistry of the adsorption interfaces has been varied by, first, manipulation of silica surface chemistry via the bulk pH, followed by surfaces modified by poly(L-glutamic acid) (PGA) and cellulose, giving five chemically different surfaces. Complementary atomic force microscopy (AFM) imaging has been used for additional surface characterization of adsorbed layers and functionalized interfaces to allow adsorption rates to be interpreted more fully. Adsorption rates for PSPMA and the glycopolymer are seen to be highly surface sensitive, with significantly higher rates on cellulose-modified surfaces, whereas PAA shows a much smaller rate dependence on the nature of the adsorption surface.

Abstract
A multiwavelength, multicomponent CRDS gas sensor operating on the basis of a compact photonic crystal fibre supercontinuum light source has been constructed. It features a simple design encompassing one radiation source, one cavity and one detection unit (a spectrograph with a fitted ICCD camera) that are common for all wavelengths. Multicomponent detection capability of the device is demonstrated by simultaneous measurements of the absorption spectra of molecular oxygen (spin-forbidden b-X branch) and water vapor (polyads 4v, 4v + δ) in ambient atmospheric air. Issues related to multimodal cavity excitation, as well as to obtaining the best signal-to-noise ratio are discussed together with methods for their practical resolution based on operating the cavity in a “quasi continuum” mode and setting long camera gate widths, respectively. A comprehensive review of multiwavelength CRDS techniques is also given.

Abstract
We present an adaptive numerical filter for analyzing fiber-length dependent properties of optical rogue waves, which are highly intense and extremely red-shifted solitons that arise during supercontinuum generation in photonic crystal fiber. We use this filter to study a data set of 1000 simulated supercontinuum pulses, produced from 5 ps pump pulses containing random noise. Optical rogue waves arise in different supercontinuum pulses at various positions along the fiber, and exhibit a lifecycle: their intensity peaks over a finite range of fiber length before declining slowly.

Abstract
In this paper we demonstrate how broadband cavity enhanced absorption spectroscopy (CEAS) with supercontinuum (SC) radiation in the near-infrared spectral range can be used as a sensitive, multiplexed, and simple tool to probe gas-phase species in high-temperature environments. Near-infrared SC radiation is generated by pumping a standard single-mode fiber with a picosecond fiber laser. Standard low reflectivity mirrors are used for the cavity and an optical spectrum analyzer is used for the detection of gas-phase species in combustion. The method is demonstrated by measuring flame generated H(2)O in the 1500 to 1550 nm region and room-temperature CO(2) between 1520 nm and 1660 nm. The broadband nature of the technique permits hundreds of rotational features to be recorded, giving good potential to unravel complex, convoluted spectra. We discuss practical issues concerning the implementation of the technique and present a straightforward method for calibration of the CEAS system via a cavity ringdown measurement. Despite the large spectral variation of SC radiation from pulse to pulse, it is shown that SC sources can offer good stability for CEAS where a large number of SC pulses are typically averaged.
