A passively mode-locked alexandrite laser was developed with a single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) saturable absorber (SA), which was pumped by a 638 nm red laser. After using a pair of prisms for dispersion compensation, the narrowest pulse width of 70 fs was achieved at a repetition rate of 100 MHz. The mode-locked laser had a signal-to-noise ratio greater than 55 dB and a beam quality factor of less than 1.

Changes in seawater carbon dioxide concentrations are one of the most important factors affecting marine ecosystems. Excess carbon dioxide can lead to ocean acidification, threatening the stability of marine ecosystems and species diversity.

This study is supported by the 3D modeling platform in UE4 platform technology and designs a 3D pose model based on inertial sensors through blueprint language and C++ programming. It can vividly display changes in gait, as well as changes in angles and displacements of 12 parts such as the big and small legs and arms.

The microstructure and optical transmission properties of the obtained NiV-LDH nanosheet were then systematically studied. An "X"-type fold cavity was designed to evaluate the ultrafast laser modulation performance of the NiV-LDH nanosheet with a Tm:YAG ceramic gain medium.
