We report the measurement of the spin polarization of hydrogen (SPH) atoms by (2+1) laser-induced fluorescence, produced via the photodissociation of thermal HBr molecules with circularly polarized 193 nm light. This scheme, which involves two-photon laser excitation at 205 nm and fluorescence at 656 nm, offers an experimentally simpler polarization-detection method than the previously reported vacuum ultraviolet detection scheme, allowing the detection of SPH atoms to be performed more straightforwardly, from the photodissociation of a wide range of molecules and from a variety of collision experiments.

Background: Fast and accurate classification of steel can effectively improve industrial production efficiency. In recent years, the use of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) in conjunction with other techniques for material classification has been developing. Plasma Acoustic Emission Signal (PAES) is a type of modal information separate from spectra that is detected using LIBS, and it can reflect some of the sample's physicochemical information.

Laser-induced photothermal therapy using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) has emerged as a promising approach to cancer therapy. However, optimizing various laser parameters is critical for enhancing the photothermal conversion efficacy of plasmonic nanomaterials. In this regard, the present study investigates the photothermal effects of dodecanethiol-stabilized hydrophobic ultrasmall spherical AuNPs (TEM size 2.

In this work, the rate coefficients for OH radical, k(T), and Cl atom, k(T), reaction with allyl 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl ether, CH=CHCHOCFCHF, were studied as a function of temperature and pressure in a collaborative effort made between UCLM, Spain, and LAPKIN, Greece. OH rate coefficients were determined in UCLM, between 263 and 353 K and 50-600 Torr, using the absolute rate method of pulsed laser photolysis-laser-induced fluorescence technique, while Cl kinetics were studied in temperature (260-363 K) and pressure (34-721 Torr) ranges, using the relative rate method of the thermostated photochemical reactor equipped with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy as the detection technique. In both OH and Cl reactions, a negative temperature dependence of the measured rate coefficients was observed, which is consistent with complex association reactions.

This work explores bubble laser technology as an alternative to needles in injection systems for vaccination, cancer treatment, insulin delivery, and catheter hygiene. The technology leverages laser-induced microfiltration and bubble dynamics to create high-speed pneumatic jets that penetrate the skin without needles, addressing discomfort, infection risk, and needle-related concerns. The system's performance is analyzed based on laser wavelength, pulse duration, and Gaussian beam droplet size.
