A diode-pumped Kerr-lens mode-locked laser generating 25 fs pulses at 1080 nm is demonstrated with an Yb-doped compositional mixed calcium aluminate crystal. The Yb:Ca(Gd,Y)AlO laser, which operates at a repetition rate of 65.6 MHz via soft-aperture Kerr-lens mode-locking, is pumped by a spatially single-mode, fiber-coupled diode laser.

Utilizing a 976-nm spatially single-mode, fiber-coupled laser diode as pump source, the Yb:YSr(PO) laser delivers a maximum CW output power of 333 mW at 1045.8 nm with an optical efficiency of 55.

Methods: Two different lengths (5-15 μm, 350-700 nm) of MWCNTs and three different kinds of surface modified MWCNTs (COOH-MWCNTs, NH2-MWCNTs, and Tau-MWCNTs) were used in the experiments. The short MWCNTs were used as pristine MWCNTs to compare with the 3 surface modified MWCNTs.

Objective: To compare the cytotoxicity of RAW264.7 cells induced by two types of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with different surface modifications (MWCNTs modified by taurine and MWCNTs treated by acid), and explore the role of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in MWCNTs-induced apoptosis.
Methods: RAW264.

Objective: To compare the different expression of protein in RAW264.7 macrophage cells induced by two types of MWNTs (multi-walled carbon nanotubes) with different surface modifications (acid-treated MWNTs and tau-MWNTs modified by taurine).
Methods: Treating cells with both types of MWNTs in 20 mg/L and 24 h, with a blank-control group set.
