Based on the geometrical modeling of the unified gain coefficient and the reported amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) output energy measurement ε(ASE) versus amplifying excitation length, l(AMP) in a KrF laser oscillator, we managed, as an example, to explain the ASE output energy behavior both numerically and analytically. In this approach, introducing the ASE gain-coefficient profile for the KrF laser, g(0,KrF)(ASE), was not avoidable. It was found that while the g(0,KrF)(ASE) profile follows the introduced gain-modeling formulation, it is, however, slightly lower than the KrF laser gain profile, g(0,KrF)(exp), deduced from the measurements reported by different researchers. The present approach, up to the present time, is able to explain all of the existing ambiguities on understanding the ASE behavior.

People with injuries to the peripheral nervous system suffer from paralysis of the facial muscles, fingers and hands or toes and feet, often for the rest of their lives, due to its poor functional regeneration. Therefore, to improve patients' quality of life, there is an urgent need for conduits that effectively support the healing of large defects in nerve pathways through specific guidance of nerve cells. This paper describes two specific methods for achieving directed growth of Schwann cells, a type of glial cells that can support the regeneration of the nerve pathway by guiding the neuronal axons in the direction of their alignment.

Film thickness is a well-known experimental parameter for controlling lattice strain in oxide films. However, due to environmental and resource conservation considerations, films need to be as thin as possible, increasing the need to find alternative factors for strain management. Herein, we present the importance of thermal energy as a factor for the formation of lattice strain in the oxide films, specifically focusing on the effects of laser fluence during pulsed laser deposition (PLD) on the in-plane lattice strain of vanadium dioxide (VO) thin films grown on titanium dioxide (TiO) (001).

In this work, we report a single-step graphene-coated crystalline silicon nanowires (SiNWs) manufacturing technique. We report a one-step fabrication technique of SiNWscoated reduced graphene oxide using a krypton fluoride (KrF) excimer laser. The SiNWs have been manufactured by redistributing the silicon mass within the sample without etching any of the deposited amorphous silicon (a-Si) and then adding a synthesized graphene oxide suspension using the modified Hummers' method.

Today, it would be difficult for us to live a full life without polymers, especially in medicine, where its applicability is constantly expanding, giving satisfactory results without any harm effects on health. This study focused on the formation of hexagonal domains doped with AgNPs using a KrF excimer laser (λ=248 nm) on the polyetheretherketone (PEEK) surface that acts as an unfailing source of the antibacterial agent - silver. The hexagonal structure was formed with a grid placed in front of the incident laser beam.
