We experimentally study the spatial beam profile and the spectral broadening at the output of a multimode air-silica microstructure fiber taper, used along the direction of an increasing fiber diameter. By using a laser pump at 1064 nm emitting 60 ps Gaussian beam pulses, we observed a competition between Raman beam cleanup and Kerr beam self-cleaning: the multimode frequency conversion process permits to generate spectral sidebands with frequency detuning from the pump that are difficult to obtain in standard graded-index multimode fibers. The generated supercontinuum spans from 500 nm up to 2.

- * Sugammadex can reverse the effects of rocuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade but may also provoke anaphylaxis, indicating a need for better treatment options.
- * Research into the antibodies of patients with rocuronium sensitivity found a diverse range that can activate anaphylaxis; high-affinity antibodies capable of reversing rocuronium effects were isolated, suggesting new avenues for diagnosis and treatment.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate whether there is a relationship between microaspiration of secretions and ventilator-associated events (VAE) in intubated patients.
- Data was collected from 261 patients, with only 31 developing VAE; statistical analysis found no significant links between microaspiration and VAE incidence.
- The findings suggest that measuring microaspiration in critically ill intubated patients may not be a reliable method for predicting VAE outcomes.
We present theoretical and experimental evidence of high-gain far-detuned nonlinear frequency conversion, extending towards both the visible and the mid-infrared, in a few-mode graded-index silica fiber pumped at 1.064 , and more specifically achieving gains of hundreds of dB per meter below 0.65 and beyond 3.
