Dear Lucie and Pierre, Thank you for your kind email. I have 1 publication to highlight, please see the link below: https://pubs.aip.org/aip/app/article/10/4/040803/3344109 Abstract: Brillouin spectroscopy is a powerful technique for non-invasive micromechanical analysis of biological materials such as tissues and cells. Conventional bulk-optical Brillouin spectroscopy systems, however, face challenges in translation to endoscopic applications due to strong parasitic background signals using single optical fibers. To overcome this issue, dual fiber approaches have been proposed, but they suffer from poor overlap of excitation and collection beam paths. In this work, we present a dual fiber-integrated probe with a tip diameter below 300 μm. Using tailored freeform 3D-printed micro-optics, we achieve a precise overlap of the foci to map mechanical properties with a resolution below 10 μm in lateral and 45 μm in axial direction. We detail the probe's design, fabrication, and optical simulations and present experimental results demonstrating high-resolution Brillouin measurements from polymer and protein solution samples. Our findings indicate that this dual fiber probe could significantly advance fiber-integrated Brillouin spectroscopy, with promising applications in materials science and biomedical diagnostics.

BioBrillouin newsletter question
by Hubert Jean-Ruel April 7, 2025

April 7, 2025

Hi BioBrillouin Newsletter team, I am Hubert from Canada and I believe I am registered to BioBrillouin and its newsletter (I receive the emails and the newsletter). I was wondering if it was possible to include a study on a parallel topic that my collaborators and I had the chance to publish this month in Optics Express. We think that it could be of great interest to this community since it show cases how bioBrillouin instrument development can also be applied to magnonics. I am sure many other groups might be interested in trying to apply the setups they have developed for bio to spin wave measurements. * https://doi.org/10.1364/OE.542374 Let me know if this is possible and if an action is needed on my end to enable the inclusion of this work in your next News Letter. Thank you for your consideration and best regards, Hubert ----------------------- Hubert Jean-Ruel, PhD Assistant Professor, Advanced Photonic Components Laboratory Canada Research Chair in Advanced Photonic Sensing Components and System Department of Electronics Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario, Canada This email contains links to content or websites.

Stumbled across new paper utilizing Brillouin in tobacco cells
by Timm Landes March 4, 2025

March 4, 2025

Dear Lucie and Pierre, thanks for the nice newsletter last week. I stumbled across this paper in BMC Plant Biology: https://doi.org/10.1186/s12870-025-06232-3. This may be of interest for all the plant guys, so it would be a nice addition to the next newsletter. I don't know if Tomasz et al. are aware of the BioBrillouin Community. I may will contact them regarding this. By the way, as many scientist are leaving X, we may want to start an bluesky account as well.

Dear Lucie and Pierre, many thanks for pushing this newsletter forward! There are 2-3 items I’d like to advertise: *) We have an open position: We’re currently seeking an intern or a master student for the duration of 6+months to work on on simulating, designing and potentially building a new Brillouin microscope. Please find our advertisement attached which you could link to. *) Our work describing a full-field Brillouin spectrometer got published in Nature Photonics: https://rdcu.be/eaDiX https://www.nature.com/articles/s41566-025-01619-y Also, we are in the final stages to put together a Brillouin microscopy course at EMBL in early 2026 - please don’t post the information yet, but remind me for the next newsletter. By that time I can hopefully confirm it and share more infos!
