The tungsten diselenide (WSe) has attracted considerable interest owing to their versatile applications, such as p-n junctions, transistors, fiber lasers, spintronics, and conversion of solar energy into electricity. We demonstrate all-optical tuning of light in WSe-coated microfiber (MF) using WSe's broad absorption bandwidth and thermo-optic effect. The transmitted optical power (TOP) can be tuned using external incidence pump lasers (405, 532, and 660 nm).

Methods: Twenty-one patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer were evaluated in this clinical trial. Patients would receive the dose of IMRT from 21Gy to 30Gy in 7 to 10 fractions within two weeks after conventional radiotherapy of 30Gy in 15 fractions over 3 weeks.
