A laser-diode-pumped zigzag slab Nd:YAG master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) system featuring high pulse energy and high average power was developed for pumping of an ultrashort-pulse laser system. The MOPA system consists of an oscillator, a preamplifier, two postamplifiers, and image-relay telescopes. The postamplifiers have an angle-multiplexed ring-type double-pass configuration. A pulse energy of 1.26 J and an average power of 251 W were obtained at a repetition rate of 200 Hz. The frequency-doubled power when a LiB(3)O(5) crystal was used was 105 W at a repetition rate of 170 Hz. The intensity profiles of the fundamental and the second harmonic are nearly top-hat shaped and are suitable for pumping.

The structural nature and geometry, as well as the lattice-relative orientation, of an arrangement of crystal defects in a highly textured Eu-doped composite of two alkali-halide solid solutions was studied by epifluorescence microscopy (EFM) using the doping ion as a fluorochrome. A three-dimensional reconstruction and a skeleton type model, as built from a sequence of EFM images of different optical cross-sections of this arrangement, are presented. Structurally, this arrangement is a quadruple node (QN) of triple junctions of grain boundaries.

Spatial dependent rate equations have been solved taking into consideration the pump and laser beam saturation effects with regard to overlap correction of the signal path through gain medium. Based on our results, efficient amplifier structure with optimized output power could be designed with respect to the change in the number of signal beam-pass, doping concentration and slab length.

This study explores an instrumentation strategy using distributed fiber optic sensors to measure strain and temperature through the concrete volume in large-scale structures. Single-mode optical fibers were deployed in three 12.8 m long steel and concrete composite floor specimens tested under mechanical or combined mechanical and fire loading.

By comprehensive structure design and first-principles calculations, we report a novel two-dimensional (2D) BeP nanomaterial with exotic structural and properties. This BeP 2D material is formed by a couple honeycomb sheets by slab staggered stacking and strong interlayer bondings. It behaves as a natural 2D semiconductor with several notable properties: a modest bandgap (~1.
