“…Light has been an extremely essential source of inspiration as well as a tool in the development of various technical devices to understand the molecular and materials properties based on optical phenomena throughout the history of modern science and technology. [ 32–37 ] In particular, a large range of light‐based discoveries has been observed and occurred in the last few decades of the 19th century and an initial couple of decades of the 20th century. The understanding and importance of the Rayleigh scattering, [ 38 ] i.e., elastic scattering of light by particles where scattered light has the same energy with regards to frequency, wavelength, and color as of incident light, has been widespread in optical instrumentations and applications.…”

Surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is one of the most powerful analytical techniques for the identification of molecules. The substrate, on which SERS is dependent, contains regions of nanoscale gaps (hotspots) that hold the ability to concentrate incident electromagnetic fields and effectively amplify vibrational scattering signals of adsorbed analytes. While surface plasmon resonance from metal nanostructures is a central focus for the SERS effect, the support of polymers can be significantly advantageous to provide larger exposure of structured metal surfaces for efficient interactions with analytes. Characteristics of the polymer particles such as softness, flexibility, swellability, porosity, optical transparency, metal‐loading ability, and high surface area can allow diffusion of analytes and penetrating light deeply that can enormously amplify sensing outcomes. As polymer‐supported plasmon‐active sensor particles can emerge as versatile SERS substrates, the microfluidic platform is promising for the generation of sensor particles as well as for performing sequential SERS analysis of multiple analytes. Therefore, in this perspective article, the development of multifunctional polymer–metal composite particles, and their applications as potential sensors for SERS sensing through microfluidics are presented. A detailed background from the beginning of the SERS field and perspectives for the multifunctional sensor particles for efficient SERS sensing are provided.

“…He picked up ideas about inversions of population and got into this field as it looked like a good way of getting very reliable wavelength standards in the optical region. While still at the Bell Laboratories he published an early proposal for a laser in helium [5] , with the very next entry in the journal being the seminal paper by Ali Javan, also of the Bell Laboratories, in his proposal for the helium-neon laser [6] .…”

The first demonstration of laser action in ruby was made in 1960 by T. H. Maiman of Hughes Research Laboratories, USA. Many laboratories worldwide began the search for lasers using different materials, operating at different wavelengths. In the UK, academia, industry and the central laboratories took up the challenge from the earliest days to develop these systems for a broad range of applications. This historical review looks at the contribution the UK has made to the advancement of the technology, the development of systems and components and their exploitation over the last 60 years.

This paper is devoted to Moscow physicist Valentin A. Fabrikant who is known for his 1939 thesis with suggestion of experiments on light amplification directly proving the existence of negative absorption in gas discharge, his 1951 patent application (jointly with M. M. Vudynsky and F. A. Butaeva) for amplification of electromagnetic radiation (ultraviolet, visible, infrared and radio spectral regions), and his experimental attempts (jointly with F. A. Butaeva) to observe light amplification in gas discharge (paper submission of December 1957).
