Time resolved measurements of the growth of Raman instabilities were performed using a picosecond chirped laser pulse. It was observed experimentally that for a short laser pulse (<10 ps), forward and 30 degrees Raman scattering occur at the back of the pulse. The growth of the instabilities was found to be independent of the sign of the chirp. In addition, a simple temporal model was developed and shows good agreement with the experimental results. This model also indicates that the plasma wave driven by forward Raman scattering is severely damped in the case of pulses longer than a few picoseconds. Damping by the modulational instability is compatible with the experimental results.

Transverse mode instability (TMI) significantly limits the power scaling of ytterbium-doped fiber lasers. In this Letter, what we believe to be a novel TMI mitigation strategy is proposed and demonstrated in a bidirectional output fiber laser. On the basis of the continuous wave (CW) pump, integrating a quasi-continuous wave (QCW) pump can effectively improve the TMI threshold of the system.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) shows great promise for early diagnosis due to its high specificity and rapid detection capabilities. However, its application is often hindered by substrate instability and insufficient interaction between the substrate and incident light. To address these challenges, a photonic-plasmonic strategy is often employed to enhance sensing performance but it is generally limited by the low efficiency of plasmonic metal and optical cavity resonances.

Article Synopsis
- Brain metastases significantly contribute to cancer-related deaths and currently have poor treatment options; existing diagnostic methods are invasive and lack precision.
- The study presents a new liquid biopsy technique using extracellular vesicles (EVs) as biomarkers for brain metastases, leveraging an advanced sensor created through femtosecond laser technology.
- Molecular profiling of EVs shows unique signatures for metastatic tumors that enable a machine learning model to differentiate metastatic brain cancer from primary brain cancer with high accuracy, potentially improving diagnosis and treatment strategies in neuro-oncology.

Any polymorphic conversion of an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), even if partial, is likely to lead to changes in its efficiency and safety. Posaconazole, an antifungal drug, is detected as Form-S in the commercially available oral suspensions. However, a mixture of Form-S and the initial Form I is likely to coexist depending either on the manufacturing process of the suspensions and/or to the storage conditions of the suspension.

Laser-plasma instabilities under ignition conditions for direct-drive inertial confinement fusion are studied using two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations with a combination of in-plane (PP) and out-of-the-plane (SP) lasers. The results show that stimulated Raman side-scattering can induce significant pump depletion and form a gap in the Raman scattered-light spectra that have been observed in experiments.
