We demonstrate a continuous-wave deuterium Raman laser that generates more than 160 mW of Stokes output power despite severe thermal effects. This output power represents nearly an order-of-magnitude increase over any previously reported continuous-wave Raman laser and is the first such system to our knowledge that uses deuterium gas as the Raman medium. The high output power is achieved through careful consideration of the electronic feedback design, frequency actuators, and pump-laser intensity noise.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) represents a compelling detection methodology centered on the electromagnetic fields, commonly termed "hot spots", generated around noble nanoparticles. Nonetheless, the efficacy of electromagnetic field (EMF) amplification is constrained when utilizing individual nanoparticles. There has been a notable lack of experimental and theoretically simulated studies regarding the increase of the electromagnetic field when gold nanorods with different aspect ratios undergo self-assembly in either perpendicular or parallel orientations to substrates.

Herein, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNT) embedded with RuPdIrPtAu-high entropy alloys (HEA) via pulsed laser irradiation in liquids are successfully fabricated. The resultant composite synergistically enhances hydrazine oxidation reaction (HzOR)-boosted water electrolysis. Notably, HEA with ≈2-5 nm size, are uniformly distributed across the surface of the CNTs.

The current surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates typically feature a single energy level, posing challenges in coordinating electromagnetic enhancement (EM) and chemical enhancement (CM), thereby limiting the sensitive detection of numerous crucial target molecules. In this study, novel aggregated nanorings (a-NRs) hybridizing Ag, Au and AgCl are constructed as SERS substrates. On one hand, the obtained a-NRs exhibit robust localized surface plasmon resonance absorption, whose wavelength can be tuned to match three commonly used laser wavelengths (532, 633 and 785 nm) to gain strong EM effect.

Current industrial separation and sorting technologies struggle to efficiently identify and classify a large part of Waste of Electric and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) plastics due to their high content of certain additives. In this study, Raman spectroscopy in combination with machine learning methods was assessed to develop classification models that could improve the identification and separation of Polystyrene (PS), Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), Polycarbonate (PC) and the blend PC/ABS contained in WEEE streams, including black plastics, to increase their recycling rate, and to enhance plastics circularity. Raman spectral analysis was carried out with two lasers of different excitation wavelengths (785 nm and 1064 nm) and varying setting parameters (laser power, integration time, focus distance) with the aim at reducing the fluorescence.

Article Synopsis
- Many experimental setups in quantum science rely on laser fields for controlling states, but this control can suffer from issues related to optical phase noise.
- Researchers introduced an optical feedforward technique to minimize laser phase noise during the stimulated Raman adiabatic passage for transferring ultracold RbCs molecules.
- After conducting over 100 transfers on individual molecules, they achieved a notable transfer efficiency of 98.7(1)%, which is primarily constrained by the intensity of the lasers used.
