120 W high repetition rate Nd:YVO<Subscript>4</Subscript> MOPA laser with a Nd:YAG cavity-dumped seed laser

A master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) system in which the output from an end-pumped Nd:YAG oscillator cavity dumped at 500 kHz is scaled up by a four-stage Nd:YVO₄ amplifier is reported. Decrease in extraction efficiency of the amplifier chain with crystals different from that in the oscillator was analyzed. With the 5.4 W seed output, 118 W of power was extracted from the amplifier chain at the pump power of 345 W, with an extraction efficiency of 34.2% and an overall optical–optical efficiency of 30.9% for the MOPA system. The beam quality factors were measured as M _x ²=1.45 and M _y ²=1.59 in two orthogonal directions, respectively.     

Polarized spectral properties of Pr3+ ions in NaGd(MO4)2 crystal

A Pr³⁺:NaGd(MoO₄)₂ single crystal has been grown by the Czochralski method. The polarized absorption spectra, polarized fluorescence spectra, and fluorescence decay curves of the crystal were measured at room temperature. The Judd–Ofelt intensity parameters Ω _t,q (t=2,4,6) and the spectroscopic parameters related to the ³ P ₀ and ¹ D ₂ multiplets were obtained and analyzed. The decay mechanisms for the ³ P ₀ and ¹ D ₂ multiplets were also discussed.

Coupling-induced excitation of a forbidden surface plasmon mode of a gold nanorod

Using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method, we simulate the coupling between a gold nanorod and gold nanoparticles with different plasmonic resonant frequencies/volumes as well as that between the nanorod and a dielectric nanosphere. The influences of coupling with different nanoparticles on the excitation of a forbidden longitudinal surface plasmon mode of the nanorod under normal incidence are investigated. It is found that the cause of this excitation is the broken symmetry of the local electric field experienced by the nanorod resulting from the charge pileup on the other nanoparticle. This result is valuable for understanding the near-field optical characterization of plasmonic metal nanoparticles.

Structure, ferroelectric and dielectric properties of Bi2WO6 with different bismuth content

This paper reports that the Bi 2 WO 6 ferroelectric ceramics with excess Bi 2 O 3 of 0.0, 2.0, 3.5 and 5.0 wt.% of the stoichiometric composition are prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction method. Their microstructure, ferroelectric properties, the concentration and mobility of the defects have been analysed systematically. With increasing Bi content, the remnant polarization decreases, and the broken-down voltage increases. The optimum Bi excess, 3.5, lowers the oxygen vacancy concentration, while further Bi-addition brings about more defects. The activation energies fitted from cole-cole plots are 0.97 eV, 1.07 eV, 1.18 eV, and 1.33 eV, respectively. This suggests that the mobility of the defects is weakened by Bi-addition, which may be due to the increase of the ratio of the number of Bi 2 O 2 layers to that of the perovskite blocks.     

Dielectric behavior of TiC–PVDF nanocomposites

TiC/PVDF nanocomposite is prepared via simple blending and hot pressing route. Percolation theory was employed to explain the dielectric behavior of the TiC/PVDF composites. The dependence of the dielectric properties of the composite on both volume fraction of the filler and frequency is investigated. High dielectric constant (? = 540) and low loss (tan δ = 0.48) of the composites at 100 Hz have been observed near the percolation threshold (0.12). The composites show a weak frequency dependence towards the high frequency range (10–100 kHz), regardless of the TiC content. (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Femtosecond laser surgery of olfactory ensheathing cells protuberance

Protuberance cutting and recoverable damage of olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) using femto-second laser surgery are reported. The damages of OECs protuberance are induced by using femtosecond laser surgery with different laser powers and scanning velocities. Through optimizing the parameters, steady cutting of OEC protuberance is achieved. After femtosecond laser surgery with 150 μ W and 10 μm/s is conducted, we found that the cell recovers its viability, such as growth, spread, and motility 1.5 h after the damage, which prove cell’s recovery and regeneration. Current work offers a novel method for establishing cell damage model and studying on cytokinetics.

Generation of Ising interaction and cluster states in a one-dimensional coupled resonator waveguide

We propose a scheme for realizing the Ising spin-spin interaction and atomic cluster states utilizing the trapped two-level atoms inside a one-dimensional coupled resonator waveguide. In the strong driving and large detuning conditions, an effective Ising spin-spin interaction can be generated through suitably tuning the parameters. Then atomic cluster states are produced by using this Ising interaction. This scheme need not initially prepare the superposition states of atoms, and is insensitive to cavity decay.
