We present, for the first time to our knowledge, an explicit experimental comparison of beam quality in conventional and confined-gain multimode fiber lasers. In the conventional fiber laser, beam quality degrades with increasing output power. In the confined-gain fiber laser, the beam quality is good and does not degrade with output power. Gain filtering of higher-order modes in 28microm diameter core fiber lasers is demonstrated with a beam quality of M(2)=1.3 at all pumping levels. Theoretical modeling is shown to agree well with experimentally observed trends.

Background: Radiotherapy as a complement or an alternative to neurosurgery has a central role in the treatment of skull base grade I-II meningiomas. Radiotherapy techniques have improved considerably over the last two decades, becoming more effective and sparing more and more the healthy tissue surrounding the tumour. Currently, hypo-fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) for small tumours and normo-fractionated intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) or proton-therapy (PT) for larger tumours are the most widely used techniques.

Linear colliders rely on high-quality flat beams to achieve the desired event rate while avoiding potentially deleterious beamstrahlung effects. Here, we show that flat beams in plasma accelerators can be subject to quality degradation due to emittance mixing. This effect occurs when the beam particles' betatron oscillations in a nonlinearly coupled wakefield become resonant in the horizontal and vertical planes.

Purpose: This study evaluated beam quality and radiation dosimetry of a CT scanner equipped with a novel detector and filtration technology called PureVision Optics (PVO). PVO features miniaturized electronics, a detector cut with microblade technology, and increased filtration in order to increase x-ray detection and reduce image noise.
Methods: We assessed the performance of two similar 320-detector CT scanners: one equipped with PVO and one without.
We report the radiation-induced darkening (RD) effect caused by X-ray radiation and the bleaching effect caused by D/H/N loading in self-developed Yb-doped large mode-area photonic crystal fibers (LMA PCFs). The decrease in the slope efficiency caused by irradiation decays exponentially with an increase in the X-ray radiation doses, and the radiation-induced gain variation (RIGV) showed a linear decay trend with increasing irradiation doses. The slope efficiency of Yb-doped LMA PCF, which significantly degraded from 71.
