Lasing in 15 atm CO cell optically pumped by a Fe:ZnSe laser.

10 µm lasing is studied in a compact CO-He cell pressurized up to 15 atm when optically pumped by a ∼50 mJ Fe:ZnSe laser tunable around 4.3 µm. The optimal pump wavelength and partial pressure of CO for generating 10 µm pulses are found to be ∼4.

High energy (0.8 J) mechanically Q-switched 2.94 μm Er:YAG laser.

We report a flashlamp pumped mechanically Q-switched (MQS) 2.94 μm Er:YAG laser based on a spinning mirror with a highest output energy of 805 mJ at a pulse duration of 61 ns and 13 MW of peak power at 1 Hz repetition rate. This record output energy was achieved with the use of 300 mm long MQS Er:YAG laser cavity consisting of a 70% output coupler, 7 × 120 mm AR coated Er(50%):YAG crystal, and 4200 rad/s angular speed of the spinning mirror.

Room temperature, nanosecond, 60 mJ/pulse Fe:ZnSe master oscillator power amplifier system operating at 3.8-5.0 µm.

We report on a RT gain-switched Fe:ZnSe master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) system tunable over 3.8-5.0 µm pumped by radiation of Er:YAG laser operating at 2.

Effect of Ultraviolet C Irradiation on Isoflavone Concentrations in Different Cultivars of Soybean ().

Phytoestrogens are naturally occurring plant polyphenolic compounds present in high concentrations in soybean products. Phytoestrogens are divided into three classes: lignans, isoflavones, and coumestans. Nine types of glycoside isoflavones and three types of aglycoside isoflavones are reported in soybean.

Q-switched and gain-switched Fe:ZnSe lasers tunable over 3.60-5.15 µm.

We report on room temperature gain-switched and Q-switched Fe:ZnSe lasers tunable over 3.60-5.15 µm pumped by radiation of an 2.
