Neodymium doped YVO(4) is becoming an increasingly popular material for solid state lasers. Among the advantages of vanadates over more traditional materials are that the absorption cross section at 808 nm is significantly larger, the emission cross sections are higher, leading to lower lasing thresholds, and the bandwidth for pump absorption is higher. We report new measurements of the refractive index and thermo-optic coefficient of this material that will aid in the design of laser cavities and other nonlinear optical elements.

Contributions of distractor dwelling, skipping, and revisiting to age differences in visual search.
Sci Rep
January 2025
Department of Psychology, Bielefeld University, 33501, Bielefeld, Germany.
Visual search becomes slower with aging, particularly when targets are difficult to discriminate from distractors. Multiple distractor rejection processes may contribute independently to slower search times: dwelling on, skipping of, and revisiting of distractors, measurable by eye-tracking. The present study investigated how age affects each of the distractor rejection processes, and how these contribute to the final search times in difficult (inefficient) visual search.

Aims: Exposure to alcohol marketing is associated with higher alcohol consumption. In recent years, a growing number of modern labels have appeared on alcohol bottles. Unlike traditional labels that typically convey factual details about a product, such as product type, quality, origin, and brewery creation date, modern labels are designed to create an imaginary, often quirky universe that is disconnected from the product itself.

Article Synopsis
- A 68-year-old male experienced irritation in both eyes, including symptoms like photophobia and tearing, after starting dupilumab for severe atopic dermatitis.
- He had a specific corneal ulcer in the right eye and a pannus in the left eye, but tests ruled out infections.
- Treatment with eye drops led to significant improvement, and follow-up revealed healing of the corneal lesions and improved vision.
Revisiting the Rytov approximation in diffuse optics and its applications for the inverse and forward problems.
Sci Rep
December 2024
Department of Biomedical Engineering, Tufts University, 4 Colby Street, Medford, MA, 02155, USA.
We propose an overview of the Rytov approximation in diffuse optics of biological tissues, for the inverse and forward problems. First, we show a physical interpretation of the Rytov approximation as a type of partial pathlength (named fluence rate partial pathlength) which is distinct from the usual partial pathlength for reflectance measurements. Second, we study the accuracy of the Rytov approximation for the calculation of Jacobians considering absorption perturbations and reflectance measurements.
