Mitigation of thermal effects in a 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser is demonstrated through the combination of a multisegmented crystal rod and upper laser level pumping by diode at 885 nm toward optimizing the generated beam profile. Continuous wave (cw) and passively Q-switched operation is demonstrated obtaining 7.5 W and 2 mJ at 100 Hz, respectively, with excellent beam quality. Comparison with a conventional uniform Nd:YAG rod reveals improvements of up to 64% in optical conversion efficiency and 67% in output power for retaining the beam quality. Thermal-lensing measurements validate the improved thermal management in the multisegmented crystal in conjunction with M-square values better than 1.3.

Organic heterostructures (OHs) with multi-segments exhibit special optoelectronic properties compared with monomeric structures. Nevertheless, the synthesis of multi-block heterostructures remains challenging due to compatibility issues between segment parts, which restricts their application in optical waveguides and integrated optics. Herein, we demonstrate programmable in-situ co-assembly engineering, combining multi-step spontaneous self-assembly processes to promote the synthesis of multi-block heterostructures with a rational arrangement of three or more segments.

The multi-segmented crystal was designed to straightforwardly aim for the minimum thermal stress without sacrificing the overall laser efficiency, with the influence of the pump beam waist position considered in particular. Integrating the enhanced thermo-mechanical resistance of multi-segmented crystal and the alleviated heat load of low quantum defect pumping, this end-pumped 1314 nm Nd:YLF laser system delivered a maximum continuous-wave output power of up to 35.

The facet chemistry of lead halide perovskite nanocrystals is critically important for determining their shape and interface ligand binding. In colloidal nanocrystals, these are mostly controlled by adopting specific synthetic strategies with a selection of the appropriate reactants. However, using selected ligands, the surface of preformed nanocrystals can be reconstructed without altering the crystal phase and lattice structure of their core.

CoNi/Ni multisegmented cylindrical nanowires were synthesized an electrochemical route. The wires are 140 nm in diameter, with 1000 nm long Ni segments and CoNi segments between 600 and 1400 nm in length. The magnetic configuration was imaged by XMCD-PEEM in the demagnetized state and at remanence after magnetizing axially and perpendicularly.

Using the popular Nd:YVO laser crystal requires careful heat management, because strong thermal effects in the gain medium are the most severe limitations of output power. Here, we present a multi-segmented Nd:YVO crystal design that consists of three segments with successive doping concentrations, optimized using a theoretical model.
