We demonstrate an original solution to obtain a single-frequency ring laser coupled to an external passive nonresonant ring cavity, which plays the role of an optical diode. This system provides more output power than systems with an intracavity unidirectional device. To the best of our knowledge, this work marks the first demonstration of a unidirectional planar ring laser at 1.3 microm. Using 12 W at 797 nm to pump a Nd:YLF laser, combined with intracavity second-harmonic generation, we achieve yields of 440 mW at 661.3 nm and 340 mW at 656.0 nm.

From Experimentation to Optimization: Surface Micro-Texturing for Low-Friction and Durable PTFE-Steel Interfaces Under Full Film Lubrication.
Polymers (Basel)

Institute of Machine Design and Tribology (IMKT), Leibniz University Hannover, An der Universität 1, 30823 Garbsen, Germany.
To enhance the sliding tribological performance between PTFE and 40#steel (AISI 1040) under full film lubrication conditions, laser surface texturing (LST) technology was employed to prepare micro-dimples on the contact surfaces of 40# steel discs. The Box-Behnken design response surface methodology (BBD-RSM) was applied to optimize the micro-dimple parameters. Coefficients of friction (COFs), wear losses and worn contact surfaces of the PTFE-40# steel tribo-pairs were researched through repeated wear tests, as lubricated with sufficient anti-wear hydraulic oil.

Background: A phthalimide-functionalized heptamethine cyanine dye, named Ph790H, is used for targeted photothermal cancer therapy in vivo. We highlight that the chemical structure of Ph790H is newly designed and synthesized for the first time in this study.
Objectives: By possessing a rigid chloro-cyclohexenyl ring in the heptamethine cyanine backbone, the bifunctional near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent dye Ph790H can be preferentially accumulated in tumor without the need for additional targeting ligands, which is defined as the "structure-inherent tumor targeting" concept.
Multifaceted approach to evacuating multi-level premacular hemorrhage in a case of suspected Valsalva retinopathy - a case report.
BMC Ophthalmol

Department of Retina and Vitreous, Narayana Nethralaya, #121/C, 1st R Block, Chord Road, Rajaji Nagar, Bengaluru, Karnataka, 560010, India.
Background: Accurate localization of premacular hemorrhages (PMHs) is crucial as treatment strategies vary significantly based on whether the hemorrhage resides within the vitreous gel, subhyaloid space, or beneath the internal limiting membrane (ILM). This report outlines the clinical features, diagnostic findings, and treatment outcomes in a patient diagnosed with a PMH secondary to suspected Valsalva retinopathy.
Methods: This is a retrospective interventional case report.

The proton bond is a pivotal chemical motif in many areas of science and technology. Its quantum chemical description is remarkably challenged by nuclear and charge delocalization effects and the fluxional perturbation that it induces on molecular substrates. This work seeks insights into proton bonding at sub-kelvin temperatures.

Optical vortices possess a helical phase wavefront with central phase dislocation and orbital angular momentum. We demonstrated three-dimensional microstructure formation using a femtosecond optical vortex beam. Two-photon polymerization of photocurable resin was induced by long-term exposure, resulting in the fabrication of cylindrical structures.
