A Wearable Device Dataset for Mental Health Assessment Using Laser Doppler Flowmetry and Fluorescence Spectroscopy Sensors

Mental health problems such as stress, anxiety, and depression affect millions of people worldwide. These conditions are usually assessed using questionnaires, which rely on how people describe their own feelings. In this study, we explore whether a wearable device can help measure mental health using physical signals from the body. The device records small changes in blood flow and tissue activity from the fingertip. We collected data from 132 adults across 19 countries and compared these signals with mental health questionnaire results. We found that patterns in blood flow and tissue activity are linked to stress-related symptoms. This approach may help develop new tools for simple, non-invasive mental health monitoring in everyday life. Code and datasets are publicly available: https://github.com/leduckhai/Wearable_LDF-FS

Versatile High-Power Monolithic All-Glass Fiber Amplifier for Pulsed Signals with a Wide Range of Repetition Rates

This study presents a compact, high-power monolithic all-glass spun tapered double-clad fiber amplifier for single-stage amplification of narrow linewidth picosecond pulsed signals from a few tens of mW to several hundred Watts of average power and MW level of peak power, covering a wide range of repetition rates. The absence of free-space elements in the amplifier module enhances its overall reliability by omitting the dependency on the pump alignment and internal back reflections. The versatile all-glass amplifier module delivers 50 ps pulses with over 2 MW peak power at 1 MHz, 50 ps pulses with over 625 W average power at 20 MHz, and 20 ps pulses with over 645 W average power at 1 GHz, all exhibiting excellent spectral, spatial, and polarization characteristics. This monolithic all-glass ultra-large mode area fiber amplifier is verified as a robust solution for direct amplification of short pulses attaining high peak/average power laser systems with excellent spectral, spatial, and polarization characteristics.

Characterising Conical Refraction Optical Tweezers

Conical refraction occurs when a beam of light travels through an appropriately cut biaxial crystal. By focussing the conically refracted beam through a high numerical aperture microscope objective, conical refraction optical tweezers can be created, allowing for particle manipulation in both Raman spots and in the Lloyd/Poggendorff rings. We present a thorough quantification of the trapping properties of such a beam, focussing on the trap stiffness and how this varies with trap power and trapped particle location. We show that the lower Raman spot can be thought of as a single-beam optical gradient force trap, while radiation pressure dominates in the upper Raman spot, leading to optical levitation rather than trapping. Particles in the Lloyd/Poggendorff rings experience a lower trap stiffness than particles in the lower Raman spot but benefit from rotational control.
