Published: March 2013

We report measurements concerning the propagation of femtosecond laser pulses in fused silica with a wavelength at 1.9 μm falling in the negative group velocity dispersion region. Under sub-GW excitation power, stable filaments are observed over several cm showing the emergence of nonspreading pulses both in space and time. At higher excitation powers, one observes first multiple pulse splitting followed by the emergence of the quasispatiotemporal solitary filament. These results are well reproduced by numerical simulations.

An ultrafast microwave ranging method based on optically generated frequency-modulated microwave pulses is proposed in this study. The theoretical analysis demonstrated that nanosecond-scale linear frequency modulation microwave pulse can be obtained by femtosecond laser interference under the condition of unbalanced dispersion, which can be used to achieve a high temporal resolution of the displacement change in the measurement by the principle of frequency modulation continuous wave (FMCW) radar. The proof-of-principle experiment successfully measured the displacement change with an error of 2.

Influence of Different Spot Pattern Lasers on Cleaning Effect of TC4 Titanium Alloy.

Materials (Basel)

December 2024

Key Laboratory High Efficiency & Clean Mech Manufacture, School of Mechanical Engineering, Shandong University, Ministry of Education, 17923 Jingshi Rd., Jinan 250061, China.

This study employed different spot pattern lasers to clean the oxide film on the surface of a TC4 titanium alloy. The variation in temperature field and ablation depth during the laser cleaning process was simulated by establishing a finite element model. The effects of various laser processing parameters on the micromorphology, elemental composition, and surface roughness of the TC4 titanium alloy were analyzed.

Plasmonic nanomaterials are effective photoacoustic (PA) contrast agents with diverse biomedical applications. While silica coatings on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been demonstrated to increase PA efficiency, the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Here, we systematically investigated the impact of silica coatings on PA generation under picosecond and nanosecond laser pulses.
