Published: April 2013

We demonstrate that by lowering gain lifetime, transverse amplified spontaneous emission imposes practical limit on usable aspect ratio of large-aperture amplifiers in a high-energy Ti:sapphire system.

In clinics, physical injuries to the spinal cord cause a temporary motor areflexia below lesion, known as spinal shock. This topic is still underexplored due to the lack of preclinical spinal cord injury (SCI) models that do not use anesthesia, which would affect spinal excitability. Our innovative design considered a custom-made micro impactor that provides localized and calibrated strikes to the ventral surface of the thoracic spinal cord of the entire CNS isolated from neonatal rats.

Hypoxia triggers blood-brain barrier disruption and a strong microglial activation response around leaky cerebral blood vessels. These events are greatly amplified in aged mice which is translationally relevant because aged patients are far more likely to suffer hypoxic events from heart or lung disease, and because of the pathogenic role of blood-brain barrier breakdown in vascular dementia. Importantly, it is currently unclear if disrupted cerebral blood vessels spontaneously repair and if they do, whether surrounding microglia deactivates.

Microparticle-templated droplets or dropicles have recently gained interest in the fields of diagnostic immunoassays, single-cell analysis, and digital molecular biology. Amphiphilic particles have been shown to spontaneously capture aqueous droplets within their cavities upon mixing with an immiscible oil phase, where each particle templates a single droplet. Here, an amphiphilic microparticle with four discrete hydrophilic patches embedded at the inner corners of a square-shaped hydrophobic outer ring of the particle (4C particle) is fabricated.

Gain Saturation of Encapsulated CdTe-Ag Quantum Dot Composite in SiO.

Nanomaterials (Basel)

December 2024

Department of Optics & Cogno-Mechatronics Engineering, Pusan National University, Busan 46241, Republic of Korea.

Amplified spontaneous emission of CdTe and CdTe-Ag quantum dot composites were compared for increasing the optical stripe length, whereby optical gain coefficients for various emission wavelengths were obtained. In the case of CdTe-Ag nanoparticle composites, we observed that plasmonic coupling causes both optical enhancement and quenching at different wavelengths, where the amplified spontaneous emission intensity becomes enhanced at short wavelengths but suppressed at long wavelengths (>600 nm). To analyze the logistic stripe length dependence of amplified spontaneous emission intensity, we used a differential method to obtain the gain coefficient beyond the amplification range.
