Fast online rubidium DPAL atomic concentration measurement by 420 nm probe laser.

The alkali atom concentration plays an important role in the performance of a diode pumped alkali vapor laser (DPAL). At the rubidium DPAL operational region, the alkali concentration is as high as 10-10, which is "optically thick," or opaque, for the 780 nm or 795 nm doublet D lines when the traditional scanning absorption spectrum method is used for concentration measurement. To solve this problem, we propose the use of a probe laser of 420 nm, which corresponds to the 5 to 6 transition and has a lower absorption cross section compared to the D-line doublet.

Fast on-line rubidium DPAL atomic concentration measurement by 420 nm probe laser: erratum.

We present an erratum to our recent work [Appl. Opt.60, 10862 (2021)APOPAI0003-693510.

Post-traumatic Growth Level and Its Influencing Factors Among Frontline Nurses During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

To assess post-traumatic growth (PTG) level and explore its influence factors among frontline nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. From April 11th to 12th, 2020, a cross sectional study was conducted on 116 frontline nurses who had participated in fight against the COVID-19 in Wuhan city, China. General information and psychological discomfort were collected.
