A multipass cell for nonlinear compression to few-cycle pulse duration is introduced composing dielectrically enhanced silver mirrors on silicon substrates. Spectral broadening with 388 W output average power and 776 µJ pulse energy is obtained at 82% cell transmission. A high output beam quality (${{\rm{M}}^2} \lt {1.2}$) and a high spatio-spectral homogeneity (97.5%), as well as the compressibility of the output pulses to 6.9 fs duration, are demonstrated. A finite element analysis reveals scalability of this cell to 2 kW average output power.

A highly sensitive trace gas sensing system based on carbon black absorption enhanced photoacoustic (PA) spectroscopy (PAS) is reported. A carbon black sheet and a fiber-optic cantilever microphone (FOCM) are integrated to form a fiber-optic cantilever spectrophone (FOCS). The gas concentration is obtained by measuring the acoustic wave amplitude generated by the carbon black sheet, which absorbs the laser passing through the interest gas.

Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins (APs) regulate numerous biological processes through interaction with signaling effectors at the cell surface. As a unique feature, GPI-APs can be released from their anchors by multi-pass GPI-specific phospholipases (types A2, C, and D) to impact signaling networks, phenotype, and cell fate; however, many questions remain outstanding. Here, we discuss and expand our current understanding of the distinct GPI-specific phospholipases, their substrates, effector pathways, and emerging physiological roles, with a focus on the six-transmembrane ecto-phospholipases GDE2 (GDPD5) and GDE3 (GDPD2).

Natural gas (NG) is a promising alternative to diesel for sustainable transport, potentially reducing GHG and air quality emissions significantly. However, the GHG benefits hinge on managing methane slip, the unburned methane in the exhaust of NG engines, which carries a significant global warming potential. The CH slip from NG engines is highly dependent on engine type and operation, and effective greenhouse gas emission mitigation requires that the actual operation of real-world engines is monitored.

A compact dual-gas sensor based on the two near-infrared distributed feedback diode lasers and a multipass cell has been established for the simultaneous measurement of methane (CH) and acetylene (CH). The time division multiplexing calibration-free direct absorption spectroscopy is used to eliminate the cross interference in the application of multicomponent gas sensors. A wavelength stabilization technique based on the proportion integration differentiation feedback control is developed to suppress laser wavelength drift and an H-infinity (H) filter algorithm to reduce the system noise.

A linear spot-type multipass cell-enhanced fiber-optic photoacoustic gas microprobe is proposed. To further reduce the volume of the gas chamber and enhance the photoacoustic signal, we designed the cross section of the photoacoustic tube as a slit with a height of 10 mm and a width of 1.5 mm.
