To improve the beam quality of the uplink laser, a 37 channel piezo-ceramic deformable mirror was inserted into the laser launch optics to compensate the static aberrations. An interferometer was used as the calibration light source as well as the wavefront sensor to perform closed-loop correction for the moment. About 0.38λ root mean square (rms) aberrations, including the deformable mirror's initial figure error, were compensated, and the residual error was less than 0.07λ rms. Field observations with a 2 m optical telescope demonstrated that the peak intensity value of the laser guide star (LGS) spot increased from 5650 to 7658, and the full width at half-maximum (FWHM) size reduced from 4.07 arcseconds to 3.52 arcseconds. With the compensation, an improved guide star spot can be obtained, which is crucial for the adaptive optics systems of ground-based large telescopes.

Distinct Optical Excitation Mechanisms of a Coherent Magnon in a van der Waals Antiferromagnet.

The control of antiferromagnets with ultrashort optical pulses has emerged as a prominent field of research. Tailored laser excitation can launch coherent spin waves at terahertz frequencies, yet a comprehensive description of their generation mechanisms is still lacking despite extensive efforts. Using terahertz emission spectroscopy, we investigate the generation of a coherent magnon mode in the van der Waals antiferromagnet NiPS_{3} under a range of photoexcitation conditions.

We show that twisted single-ring hollow-core fibers can exhibit strong helical dichroism, i.e., a different transmission depending on the orbital angular momentum of the launched light.

As the polarization state of laser can reflect more information, various types of laser remote sensing techniques have been developed. In order to accurately interpret the detection information, the optical components with polarization insensitivity has become an important topic. In this paper, a polarization insensitive splitter with three all-dielectric materials is designed and fabricated, which combines the symmetric structure with the matching layers.

Background: Due to the rapid launch and development of vaccines (the most ideal protocol for countering COVID-19), monitoring of post-vaccination side effects is essential. This study aimed to assess symptoms and side effects of three types of COVID-19 vaccines (Sputnik, AstraZeneca, and Sinopharm) and the details of their relationship with demographic characteristics in Iran.
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional and telephonic interview-based study was conducted from May 12 to July 11, 2021, among 420 university staff who received both doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.
We demonstrated optical amplification ranging from 1600 to over 1680 nm in Tm-doped fluorotellurite fibers (FTFs) with a Tb-doped cladding by using a 1212 nm fiber laser as the pump source. The FTFs based on TeO-BaF- YO glasses were fabricated by using a rod-in-tube method. The doping concentration of Tm ions in the core was about 4000 ppm and that of Tb ions in the fiber cladding was about 10,000 ppm.
