A comparative study on diode-pumped single-frequency Tm:YAG and Tm:GdVO<Subscript>4</Subscript> lasers

In this paper, we present experimental results concerning on the laser characteristics of Tm:YAG laser and Tm: GdVO₄ laser. At room temperature, the maximum output power of Tm:YAG laser and Tm:GdVO₄ laser is 210 and 145 mW, respectively. High efficiency can be achieved for both lasers at room temperature. Nevertheless, compared with Tm:GdVO₄ laser, Tm:YAG laser can operate on single frequency with high power easily. As much as 60 mW of 2013.9 nm single-longitudinal-mode (SLM) laser was achieved for Tm:YAG laser. For Tm:GdVO₄ laser 51 mW of 1919.7 nm SLM laser was achieved. The SLM Tm:YAG laser is better for using as a seed laser for coherent wind measurements and differential absorption LIDAR systems.

An investigation of pulsed laser cutting of titanium alloy sheet

Subsequent welding requirement calls for high-quality laser cut surfaces in the laser cutting of bladed ring parts for aeroengines. This paper presents pulsed laser cutting of titanium alloy sheet and investigates the influences of laser cutting parameters on laser cut quality factors including heat-affected zone (HAZ), surface morphology and corrosion resistance. The thickness of HAZ lasers is studied in detail as a function of laser cutting parameters. For different assist gases the surface morphology and corrosion resistance show great differences. In comparison with air- and nitrogen-assisted laser cutting, argon-assisted laser cutting comes with unaffected surface quality and is suitable for laser cutting with subsequent welding requirement.

Ultrafast laser processing of drug particles in water for pharmaceutical discovery

The laser fragmentation technique has been extensively used to produce inorganic nanoparticles, but its practice on organic materials, especially on drugs, is less common. Here, we briefly review the recent advances in laser micro-/nanonization of organic materials and the rationale of using laser fragmentation for drug discovery. We present our case studies of two drug models: fenofibrate and naproxen. Both drugs were fragmented in water with femtosecond (fs) laser and characterized in terms of particle size distribution and physicochemical properties. Effects of fs laser fragmentation were also compared with nanosecond (ns) laser fragmentation and with conventional media milling technique. Fs laser was more suitable to produce sub-micron size drug particles than ns laser, but degradation of drugs after nanonization was also more pronounced than micronization. Physicochemical transformations such as oxidation, hydration and amorphisation might occur during the laser–material interactions. Laser nanonization showed improved dissolution kinetics, similar to media milling. Unlike the conventional milling techniques, laser fragmentation enabled the treatment of minute amount (as small as several milligrams) of drugs with high efficiency, thus is a useful tool for particle size reduction during the early phases of drug discovery.     

Single-longitudinal-mode fiber laser with a passive multiple-ring cavity and its application for video transmission

A single-longitudinal-mode erbium-doped fiber laser with a passive multiple-ring cavity (MRC) is proposed for the first time to the authors' knowledge. The laser is fundamentally structured by insertion of three different short ring cavities, which serve as mode filters, into the main cavity. When it is combined with a mode-restricting intracavity fiber Bragg grating, the MRC resonator ensures single-longitundinal-mode laser oscillation. The laser can successfully suppress side-mode frequencies of as much as 1 GHz and provide an output power of 23 mW with a side-mode suppression ratio of 51 dB at 1533 nm. The short-term linewidth of the laser output measured is ~2 kHz . The ability of this fiber laser to act as an AM transmitter source is also demonstrated.

We report a mode-locked ytterbium fiber laser that generates femtosecond pulses with energies as large as 2.2 nJ.
