Multiwavelength, picosecond, synchronously pumped, Pb(MoO)(WO) Raman laser oscillating at 12 wavelengths in a range of 1128-1360 nm.

In this Letter, a mixed ()() as a new, to the best of our knowledge, active medium with optimized content for a synchronously pumped multiwavelength Raman laser with a combined frequency shift is presented. The unique structure of this crystal resulted in oscillations at 12 closely spaced output wavelengths in a spectral range from 1128 to 1360 nm. The strongest pulse shortening in comparison with nominally pure scheelite-like crystals has been achieved.

Highly efficient, high-energy, picosecond, synchronously pumped Raman laser at 1171 and 1217 nm based on PbMoO crystals with single and combined Raman shifts.

For the first time to our knowledge, the operation of a synchronously pumped ultrafast Raman laser that uses a PbMoO crystal as the active medium has been demonstrated. We achieved efficient Raman conversion in PbMoO from pumping 1063 nm into 1171 and 1217 nm, respectively, at single and combined frequency shifts on stretching and bending Raman modes. The output pulse energy (up to 160 nJ) and peak power (up to 11 kW) of the output picosecond radiation is the highest among all-solid-state synchronously pumped Raman lasers published to date.

Highly efficient picosecond all-solid-state Raman laser at 1179 and 1227 nm on single and combined Raman lines in a BaWO crystal.

We present a highly efficient ring-cavity all-solid-state BaWO Raman laser generating at both the long-shift (ν=925  cm) and short-shift (ν=332  cm) Raman lines under external picosecond synchronous pumping at the wavelength of 1063 nm. Very high slope efficiencies and output pulse energies of 68.8% and 103 nJ at the ν-shifted Stokes wavelength of 1179 nm, and 38.

Trabecular bone strains around a dental implant and associated micromotions--a micro-CT-based three-dimensional finite element study.

The first objective of this computational study was to assess the strain magnitude and distribution within the three-dimensional (3D) trabecular bone structure around an osseointegrated dental implant loaded axially. The second objective was to investigate the relative micromotions between the implant and the surrounding bone. The work hypothesis adopted was that these virtual measurements would be a useful indicator of bone adaptation (resorption, homeostasis, formation).
