In this note we present the development of a dual-probe laser interferometer that uses the filtering properties of a polarized beamsplitter to enable two independent (uncoupled) detection probes. The robustness of this system is demonstrated by making broadband, noncontact, high fidelity measurements of Lamb waves in an aluminum plate.

The diversity of functional applications of atomic force microscopes is the key to the development of nanotechnology. However, the single probe configuration of the traditional atomic force microscope restricts the realization of different application requirements for the same target area of a single sample, and the replacement of the working probe will lead to the loss of the target area. Here, the design, simulation, fabrication, and application of a unique atomic force microscope dual-probe are presented, which consists of a pair of parallel cantilevers with a narrow gap and a U-shaped hinged probe base.

Purpose: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of single-probe dual-energy (SPDE) lithotripters in patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PCNL) through a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Methods: We searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus and Embase databases until July 2022 for any preclinical or clinical studies, exploring the safety and efficacy of different SPDE lithotripters in patients undergoing PCNL. We performed a meta-analysis to compare stone-free rate, bleeding, or other complications and mean operative time between SPDE lithotripters and other lithotripters (PROSPERO: CRD42021285631).
We demonstrate a hybrid time-frequency spectroscopic method for simultaneous temperature/pressure measurements in nonreacting compressible flows with known gas composition. Hybrid femtosecond-picosecond, pure-rotational coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS), with two independent, time-delayed probe pulses, is deployed for single-laser-shot measurements of temperature and pressure profiles along an ∼5-mm line. The theory of dual-probe CARS is presented, along with a discussion of the iterative fitting of experimental spectra.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFLaser based optical applications such as imaging, ranging, and wireless communications are susceptible to environmental distortions. Inferring the strength of these optical distortions is crucial to obtaining information about the environment in which the system is operating. Our technique of inferring environmental distortion strength leverages the spreading of light's orbital angular momentum (OAM) spectrum combined with heterodyne detection.
