A truly 3D “miniature optical lab” for molecule detection is achieved by S. Feng, Y. Zhang, and co‐workers on the tip of an optical fiber. It is designed like a radar configuration: excited light is focused on the globular “cactus” by a parabolic mirror to excite the SERS of the molecules. On page 1232, these SERS signals are collected and sent back into the fiber with the parabolic mirror, for analysis. Such a 3D scheme expands the design possibilities of “labs” on the facets of optical fibers.
