Laser-induced damage of the "standard" (λ/4 stack structure) and "modified" (reduced standing-wave field) HfO(2)/SiO(2) mirrors were investigated by a commercial 800 nm Ti:sapphire laser system. Three kinds of pulse duration of 50 fs, 105 fs, and 135 fs were chosen. The results show that the single-shot damage threshold of the "modified" mirror was about 14%-23% higher compared to that of the "standard" mirror. A model based on the rate equation for free electron generation was adopted to explain the threshold results. It took in account the transient changes in the dielectric function of material during the laser pulse. The simulated threshold agreed with the experimental very well. Besides, for two kinds of mirror, typical breakdown craters for both the single-shots and multi-shots damage tests reveal striking distinct characteristics. Interestingly, the multi-shots damage crater with zigzag-like edge was observed only on the "standard" mirror. These phenomena were illustrated reasonably by the distribution features of the electric field intensity within the mirrors.

Chalcogenides are the most important infrared nonlinear optical (NLO) material candidates, and the exploration of high-performance ones is attractive and challengeable. Hitherto, there is no NLO scandium (Sc) chalcogenides experimentally studied. Here, new quaternary Sc thiophosphate CsScPS (CSPS) was synthesized by the facile metal oxide-boron-sulfur/reactive flux hybrid solid-state method.

The poor interlaminar fracture toughness is a critical limiting factor for the structural applications of aramid fiber/epoxy resin composites. This study investigates the effects of laser-induced graphene (LIG) and short Kevlar fibers on the interfacial toughness and damage detection of aramid composite materials. Mode II tests and tensile tests were conducted to evaluate mechanical properties and damage detection using the piezoresistive characteristics of LIG.

The nonlinear chiroptical properties of chiral metal halide perovskite has attracted substantial attention in recent years. In order to overcome the inherent limitations of metal halide, such as high costs, potential toxicity, challenges with recycling, especially the limited laser-induced damage threshold (LDT), we have successfully constructed the first chiral metal-free anti-perovskite, with the aim of utilizing it in second harmonic generation-circular dichroism (SHG-CD). Moreover, the anti-perovskite composed entirely of small organic ions typically display a more extensive transparent window, which could contribute a high LDT.

The significance of ultrafast laser-induced energy and mass transfer at interfaces has been growing in the field of nanoscience and technology. Nevertheless, the complexity arising from non-linear and non-equilibrium optical-thermal-mechanical interactions results in intricate transitional behaviors. This complexity presents challenges when attempting to analyze these phenomena exclusively through modeling or experimentation.

Background: Prior studies have shown that energy-based devices (EBDs) over pre-injected hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers do not significantly affect clinical outcomes. However, the impact of EBDs over newly FDA-approved HA filler for improving skin smoothness is still undetermined.
Objective: To evaluate the immediate histologic changes after various popular EBDs are performed over pre-injected, newly FDA-approved intradermal HA filler.
