Article Abstract
This paper presents the results of experimental studies on Q-switched flash-lamp pumped Nd:YAG and Er:glass lasers with resonators formed by volume Bragg gratings. This novel design results in single-frequency mode operation with millijoules pulse energy. The mode selection is performed only by volume Bragg gratings that dramatically simplifies laser design.

Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are attractive gain media due to their wavelength-tunability and low optical gain threshold. Consequently, CQD lasers, especially the surface-emitting ones, are promising candidates for display, sensing and communication. However, it remains challenging to achieve a low-threshold surface-emitting CQD laser array with high stability and integration density.

Lattice models are a central idea in statistical thermodynamics, as they allow for the introduction of a configurational entropy by counting the multiplicity of placing indistinguishable particles on a lattice. In this work we use a lattice model to show that the configurational entropy needs to be merged with the molecular translational entropy in order to have a consistent model. This is achieved by replacing the volume of a lattice site with a quantum volume (i.

Article Synopsis
- - The compound polycrystalline [FeL2][BF4]2 demonstrates a significant hysteretic spin transition around 240 K, with its behavior influenced by sample history, consisting of two related high-spin polymorphs (HS1 and HS2).
- - Upon cooling, both high-spin forms transition to low-spin phases (LS3 and LS4) at approximately 230 K, with LS3 coming from HS1 and LS4 from HS2, showing different crystal structures and transition temperatures.
- - Repeated cycling through the spin transition results in a gradual increase of HS1 and LS3 phases while depleting HS2 and LS4, indicating complex phase behavior and sample-dependent characteristics across related iron(II) and

Two-dimensional (2D) layered materials without centrosymmetry, such as GaSe, have emerged as promising novel optical materials due to large second-order nonlinear susceptibilities. However, their nonlinear responses are severely limited by the short interaction between the 2D materials and light, which should be improved by coupling them with photonic structures with strong field confinement. Here, we theoretically design photonic crystal circular Bragg gratings (CBG) based on hole gratings with a quality factor as high as = 8 × 10, a mode volume as small as = 1.
