We propose a novel walk-off-compensation method for ultraviolet-light-source development. A walk-off occurring in the frequency mixing of infrared and green beams is doubly compensated for using an external walk-off compensator and a nonlinear-material set with internal walk-off-compensation arrangement. We theoretically and experimentally verified that our method can improve the power and beam shape of the output ultraviolet beam.

Intra-arterial liver cancer therapies, such as trans-arterial chemoembolization, are the preferred therapeutic approaches for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. However, these palliative techniques are challenging for delivering therapeutic agents selectively in the tumor without real-time 3-D visualization of the catheter within the hepatic arteries. The objective of this paper is to develop and evaluate in pre-clinical tests an advanced interventional guidance platform using a distributed strain sensing device based on optical frequency-domain reflectometry (OFDR) to track the tip and shape of a catheter.

Extreme Ultraviolet Beam Enhancement by Relativistic Surface Plasmons.

The emission of high-order harmonics in the extreme ultraviolet range from the interaction of a short, intense laser pulse with a grating target is investigated experimentally. When resonantly exciting a surface plasmon, both the intensity and the highest order observed for the harmonic emission along the grating surface increase with respect to a flat target. Harmonics are obtained when a suitable density gradient is preformed at the target surface, demonstrating the possibility to manipulate the grating profile on a nanometric scale without preventing the surface plasmon excitation.

We theoretically and experimentally investigated a novel walk-off-compensation method for efficient ultraviolet beam generation. Through theoretical investigation, we described in detail how the power of a generated UV beam can be enhanced by the method; thus, we obtained a brief expression for the output power which has a prediction error of about 30%. In addition, we found that the beam quality can also be enhanced using this method.
