Pulse compression in a short, normal dispersion photonic-crystal fiber is investigated with a Yb:CaGdAlO laser pumped by a low-power fiber-coupled single-mode diode that delivers 70-fs pulses at 1050 nm central wavelength, with 45-mW average power at 60 MHz repetition rate. A simple and power-efficient compressor based on a ∼15-cm long, low-cost commercial nonlinear fiber, with normal dispersion at the laser wavelength, produces pulses as short as 14.9 fs, corresponding to ∼4.25 optical cycles, with 29 mW average power after a prism-pair compressor in double pass configuration. Pulse quality was investigated with frequency resolved optical gating (FROG) analysis. Furthermore, a comparative analysis of noise properties of the oscillator, pump laser and compressed pulses has been performed.

Light-driven molecular rotary motors are nanometric machines able to convert light into unidirectional motions. Several types of molecular motors have been developed to better respond to light stimuli, opening new avenues for developing smart materials ranging from nanomedicine to robotics. They have great importance in the scientific research across various disciplines, but a detailed comprehension of the underlying ultrafast photophysics immediately after photo-excitation, that is, Franck-Condon region characterization, is not fully achieved yet.

The use of nanozymes for electrochemical detection in the food industry is an intriguing area of research. In this study, we synthesized a laccase mimicking the MnO@CeO nanozyme using a simple hydrothermal method, which was characterized by modern analytical methods, such as transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), etc. We found that the addition of MnO significantly increased the laccase-like activity by 300% compared to CeO nanorods.

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) exhibit distinct electronic properties, categorized as metallic or semiconducting, determined by their chirality. The precise and selective separation of these electronic types is pivotal for advancing nanotechnology applications. While conventional gel chromatography has been widely employed for large-scale separations, its limitations in addressing microscale dynamics and electronic-type differentiation have persisted.
