Birefringent photonic-crystal fibers provide efficient polarization-sensitive anti-Stokes frequency conversion of unamplified 35-fs Ti: sapphire laser pulses, giving rise to a doublet of intense blue-shifted emission spectral lines centered at 490 and 510 nm. We show that this anti-Stokes doublet can be wavelength-demultiplexed by a polarizationseparating prism. Generation of the 510-nm signal is decoupled from frequency conversion to 490 nm by accurately polarizing the pump field along one of the principal axes of the elliptically deformed fiber core.

The effects of mechanical vibrations on control system stability could be significant in control systems designed on the assumption of rigid-body dynamics, such as launch vehicles. Vibrational loads can also cause damage to launch vehicles due to fatigue or excitation of structural resonances. This paper investigates a method to control structural vibrations in real time using a finite number of strain measurements from a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor array.

Photovoltaic arrays are exposed to outdoor conditions year-round, leading to degradation, cracks, open circuits, and other faults. Hence, the establishment of an effective fault diagnosis system for photovoltaic arrays is of paramount importance. However, existing fault diagnosis methods often trade off between high accuracy and localization.

High Rate of Complications With Early Conversion Hip Arthroplasty Following Fracture Treatment.

J Am Acad Orthop Surg Glob Res Rev

November 2024

From the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Rehabilitation Loyola University Health System, Maywood, IL (Dr. Grayson, Dr. Eikani, and Dr. Brown); and the Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine, Maywood, IL (Ms. Benson and Mr. Jozefowski).

Background: Conversion total hip arthroplasty (THA) is associated with higher rates of complications compared with primary THA, with prior surgical fixation of fractures in the ipsilateral hip shown to further increase these rates. There is a scarcity of literature on the effect of timing of conversion THA on complication rates. In this study, we evaluated early (≤6 months of index surgery) and late (>6 months of index surgery) conversion to THA following prior fixation of the proximal femur or acetabulum.

Purpose: To investigate and compare the feasibility, safety, and clinical outcomes of antegrade and retrograde laparoscopic bilateral inguinal lymphadenectomy for penile cancer.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 32 patients with penile cancer admitted between 2018 and 2022. Among them, 17 patients underwent antegrade laparoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy (ALIL group) and 15 underwent retrograde laparoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy (RLIL group).
