AI Article Synopsis

  • Mamyshev oscillators can produce high-power femtosecond pulses, but initiating stable mode-locking has been difficult due to issues with continuous-wave lasing.
  • Researchers investigated the starting dynamics of a linear Mamyshev oscillator to avoid damaging its components while achieving reliable mode-locking.
  • Using a combination of pump power modulation and filter passband adjustments, they automated the starting process, allowing the laser to emit 21-nJ pulses that are dechirped to 65 fs in duration.

Article Abstract

Mamyshev oscillators can generate high-power femtosecond pulses, but starting a mode-locked state has remained a major challenge due to the suppression of continuous-wave lasing. Here, we study the starting dynamics of a linear Mamyshev oscillator designed to generate high-power femtosecond pulses while avoiding component damage. Reliable starting to stable mode-locking is achieved with a combination of modulation of the pump power and shifting of a filter passband. The starting process is automated, with full electronic control. The laser delivers 21-nJ pulses that are dechirped to 65 fs in duration outside the cavity.

Sickle cell disease causes erythrocytes to become sickle-shaped, affecting their movement in the bloodstream and reducing oxygen delivery. It has a high global prevalence and places a significant burden on healthcare systems, especially in resource-limited regions. Automated classification of sickle cells in blood images is crucial, allowing the specialist to reduce the effort required and avoid errors when quantifying the deformed cells and assessing the severity of a crisis.

Background: Neuromodulation has been shown to increase the efficacy of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation procedures. However, despite its ability to influence the autonomic nervous system (ANS), the exact mechanism of action remains unclear. The activity of the ANS via the intracardiac nervous system (ICNS) can be inferred from heart rate variability (HRV).

The main protease (M) is a pivotal target in the life cycle of feline coronavirus (FCoV), which causes a high mortality feline disease, feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). Virtual screening was performed against the feline coronavirus M to find active compounds with low toxicity from a library of natural products. Eighty-six compounds were selected by using the rank of docking score and binding pose analysis.
