Spatiotemporal observation of surface plasmon polariton mediated ultrafast demagnetization by Yuzhu Fan, Gaolong Cao, Sheng Jiang, Johan Åkerman, Jonas Weissenrieder

“…We discover correlated spatial distributions of demagnetization amplitude and surface plasmon polariton intensity, the latter characterized by photo-induced near-field electron microscopy. Furthermore, by comparing the results with patterned ultrafast demagnetization dynamics without surface plasmon polariton interaction, we show that the demagnetization is not only enhanced but also exhibits a spatiotemporal modulation near a spatial discontinuity (plasmonic hot spot). …”

Light intensity-dependent arrestin switching for inactivation of a light-sensitive GPCR, bistable opsin by Baoguo Shen, Seiji Wada, Tomohiro Sugihara, Takashi Nagata, Haruka Nishioka, Emi Kawano-Yamashita, Takeaki Ozawa, Mitsumasa Koyanagi, Akihisa Terakita

“…In the zebrafish pineal organ, UV sensitive parapinopsin 1 (PP1)-expressing cells exhibit color opponency through photoequilibria between two photo-interconvertible states of PP1. The amount of visible light-sensitive active states (photoproducts) is crucial for generating color opponency, raising questions about how and what arrestins are involved in PP1 inactivation. …”
