CSINet: A Cross-Scale Interaction Network for Lightweight Image Super-Resolution.

In recent years, advancements in deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have brought about a paradigm shift in the realm of image super-resolution (SR). While augmenting the depth and breadth of CNNs can indeed enhance network performance, it often comes at the expense of heightened computational demands and greater memory usage, which can restrict practical deployment. To mitigate this challenge, we have incorporated a technique called factorized convolution and introduced the efficient Cross-Scale Interaction Block (CSIB).

High-repetition-rate and high-beam-quality all-solid-state nanosecond pulsed deep-red Raman laser.

We report on a high-repetition-rate and high-beam-quality all-solid-state nanosecond pulsed deep-red laser source by intracavity second harmonic generation of the actively Q-switched Nd:YVO/KGW Raman laser. The polarization of the 1342 nm fundamental laser was aligned with the Ng and Nm axes of KGW crystal for accessing the eye-safe Raman lasers at 1496 and 1526 nm, respectively. With the aid of the elaborately designed V-shaped resonator and the composite Nd:YVO crystal, excellent mode matching and good thermal diffusion have been confirmed.

High beam quality yellow laser at 588 nm by an intracavity frequency-doubled composite Nd:YVO Raman laser.

High beam quality 588 nm radiation was realized based on a frequency-doubled crystalline Raman laser. The bonding crystal of YVO/Nd:YVO/YVO was used as the laser gain medium, which can accelerate the thermal diffusion. The intracavity Raman conversion and the second harmonic generation were realized by a YVO crystal and an LBO crystal, respectively.

Restorable, enhanced, and multifaceted tunable optical properties in a coaxial quantum well driven by the electric field and intense laser field.

A new method for regulating optical properties of a coaxial cylindrical quantum well using the electric field and intense laser field is investigated in the effective mass approximation. By means of the finite difference method and the correct dressing effect of the confinement potential, the results show that the enhancement and recovery of optical absorption and refractive index change strongly depend on the multifaceted-cooperative regulation of the laser parameter, the electric field strength, the angle between the electric field and polarization direction of laser, and the barrier width. This is promising for the design of a new generation of highly polarization sensitive devices, optical repair equipments and optical phase modulators by adopting the multistage combination of electric and intense laser fields.

Nanosecond pulsed deep-red laser source by intracavity frequency-doubled crystalline Raman laser.

We demonstrated a deep-red laser source by intracavity frequency-doubled crystalline Raman laser for the first time, to the best of our knowledge. The actively -switched 1314 nm : laser was first converted to the eye-safe Raman laser using a () (KGW) crystal, which was subsequently frequency-doubled in a bismuth borate crystal. Benefiting from the KGW bi-axial properties, the deep-red laser source was able to lase separately at two different spectral lines at 730 and 745 nm.

High-peak-power narrowband eye-safe intracavity Raman laser.

We demonstrated a narrowband eye-safe intracavity Raman laser by incorporating a fused silica etalon into the fundamental resonator. The KGd(WO) (KGW) Raman laser was pumped by an actively Q-switched Nd:YLF laser at 1314 nm. Thanks to the KGW bi-axial properties, two distinct eye-safe Raman lasers operating at 1461 and 1490 nm were obtained separately by rotation of the KGW crystal.

Single-longitudinal-mode cascaded crystalline Raman laser at 1.7 µm.

A single-longitudinal-mode crystalline Raman laser in the 1.7 µm wave band was reported for the first time, to the best of our knowledge. The Raman laser, which was intracavity-pumped by an actively -switched 1314 nm Nd:YLF laser, demonstrated the cascaded Stokes oscillation at 1715 nm.

High-peak-power eye-safe orthogonally-polarized dual-wavelength Nd:YLF/KGW Raman laser.

An actively Q-switched eye-safe orthogonally-polarized dual-wavelength intracavity Raman laser was demonstrated for the first time, to the best of our knowledge. The gain balanced dual-wavelength operation at 1314 and 1321 nm within an in-band pumped Nd:YLF laser was realized by slightly titling the cavity mirrors. Owing to the KGW bi-axial properties, two sets of simultaneous orthogonally-polarized dual-wavelength Raman lasers at 1470, 1490 nm and 1461, 1499 nm were achieved by simply rotating the KGW crystal for 90°, respectively.

Frequency expansion of orthogonally polarized dual-wavelength laser by cascaded stimulated Raman scattering.

In this Letter, the frequency expansion of an orthogonally polarized dual-wavelength laser, based on the cascaded stimulated Raman scattering, was demonstrated for the first time, to the best of our knowledge. The dual-wavelength fundamental laser generated from two separate Nd:YLF crystals was free of gain competition. Integrating the benefit of the two different orthogonally polarized Raman gain peaks in the KGd(WO) (KGW) crystal, two sets of first-Stokes orthogonally polarized dual-wavelength Raman lasers were first achieved by rotating the Raman crystal for 90°.

[Quantitative Analysis of Deep-Frying Oil Adulterated Virgin Olive Oil Using Vis-NIR Spectroscopy with iPLS].

To explore a rapid and reliable method for quantitative analysis of deep-frying oil adulterated virgin olive oil, visible and near infrared(Vis-NIR) spectroscopy and three improved partial least squares methods, including interval Partial Least Squares (iPLS), synergy interval partial least squares (SiPLS) and backward interval partial least squares (BiPLS) were employed to establish predicting models of doping content based on virgin olive oil adulterating different levels and different types of deep-frying oil. And the models were compared in order to choose the best one. The Vis-NIR spectroscopy ranged from 400 to 2 500 nm was obtained directly from the adulterated samples, and the spectroscopic data was preprocessed with Savitzky-Golay (SG).

The technique comparison of brachial plexus blocks by ultrasound guided with blocks by nerve stimulator guided.

Objective: Brachial plexus perineural blocks provide specific analgesia for upper limb surgery. We present our experience with ultrasound-guided supraclavicular brachial plexus perineural blocks for distal upper limb surgery. Although single-injection ultrasound-guided supraclavicular blocks have been reported, little is known about the advantages using this approach compared with nerve stimulator guided.
