A diode-pumped alkali laser (DPAL) is thought to provide the significant promise for construction of high-powered lasers in the future. To examine the kinetic processes of the gas-state media (cesium vapor in this study), a mathematical model is developed while the processes including normal 3-enegry-level transition, energy pooling, and ionization are taken into account in this report. The procedures of heat transfer and laser kinetics are combined together in creating the model. We systemically investigate the influences of the temperature, cell length, and cell radius on the output features of a diode-pumped cesium vapor laser. By optimizing these key factors, the optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of a DPAL can be obviously improved. Additionally, the decrease of the output power due to energy pooling and ionization is also shrunk from 1.63% to 0.37% with the pump power of 200 W after optimization. It suggests that the effects of energy pooling and ionization should be decreased apparently under the optimal conditions. Basically, the conclusions we obtained in this study can be extended to other kinds of end-pumped laser configurations.

We study resonance redistribution mechanisms inside a hot vapor cell. This is achieved by pumping cesium atoms on the 6S→6P resonance and subsequently probing the velocity distribution of the 6P population by a linear absorption experiment on the 6P→16S or 6P→15D transitions at 514 nm and 512 nm, respectively. We demonstrate that despite the existence of thermalization processes, traces of the initial velocity selection, imposed by the pump, survive in hyperfine levels of the intermediate (6P) state.

Purpose: Effective cancer treatment relies on the precise deployment of clinical imaging techniques to accurately treat tumors. One highly representative technology among these is multi-imaging guided phototherapy. This work introduces a new and innovative theranostic drug that combines near-infrared (NIR) irradiation-induced photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) to treat malignancies.

Article Synopsis
- Glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly aggressive brain cancer with very low survival rates, and laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) has emerged as a promising surgical option to reduce tumor burden and modulate immune responses.
- The study investigated how thermal therapy and radiation affect the immune checkpoint PD-L1 in U87 GBM cells, particularly focusing on the differences between IDH-mutant and IDH-wildtype cells.
- Results indicated that thermal therapy effectively killed GBM cells in a temperature-dependent manner, especially at higher temperatures, and notably reduced PD-L1 levels in U87 cells, which correlated with increased expression of a specific mitochondrial enzyme linked to iron metabolism.

We report the performance of a magnetically silent optically pumped cesium magnetometer with a statistical sensitivity of 3.5 pT/ at 1 Hz and a stability of 90 fT over 150 s of measurement. Optical pumping with coherent, linearly-polarized, resonant light leads to a relatively long-lived polarized ground state of the cesium vapour contained in a measurement cell.

Three types of exponential-doping structures with a high to low doping concentration distribution from the interior to the surface are proposed for reflective GaAs emission layers. These three structures generate different built-in electric fields that facilitate photoelectron emission.
