A novel gain medium structure is designed providing Q-switched pulses with high efficiency. The use of an improved corner-side hybrid pump structure achieves a high absorption efficiency of pump light by crossing through the active media 13 times Nd:YAG. A layer of Sm:YAG is bonded around the active media, which suppresses parasitic oscillation and amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) effectively. A high-efficient actively Q-switched laser is successfully realized with a pulse energy of 104 mJ. The corresponding optical-optical conversion efficiency is 30.5%. This is, to the best of our knowledge, the highest optical to optical efficiency for an actively Q-switched Nd:YAG laser at the hundred milli-joules level.

This paper reports a 3.8 µm pulse burst self-optical parametric oscillator (SOPO) employing the Nd:MgO:PPLN crystal, achieving programmable mid-infrared pulse burst output based on step-active Q-switching technology. Building on the intracavity optical parametric oscillator (IOPO) theory, a theoretical model for the step-active Q-switched self-optical parametric oscillator is developed by introducing idler photon and step loss terms.

The mode size stability and the mode overlapping are numerically analyzed to craft the resonator. Experimental results reveal that the compact cavity and the cavity dumping effect lead to the considerable narrowing of the pulse width.

We present the successful development of a 1089.4 nm Q-switched laser employing a neodymium-doped fiber (NDF) as the active fiber and black phosphorus (BP) as the saturable absorber (SA). The BP SA was fabricated by inserting BP compound into a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) host polymer, exhibiting a saturable absorption of 2.

Article Synopsis
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is a common issue after laser treatments, but there are limited studies on its risks.
- A study evaluated the risk of PIH after using a specific laser for treating solar lentigines and the effectiveness of a triple combination cream (TCC) to prevent it.
- Findings showed that 55.3% of untreated lesions developed PIH, while using TCC reduced this number to 31%. Increased skin redness and outdoor activity were identified as significant risk factors for PIH.
Acquired Bilateral Nevus of Ota-Like Macules: A Case Report.

Article Synopsis
- Facial melanoses (FM) and dermal melanocytoses (DM) pose significant diagnostic and treatment challenges, exemplified by a case that doesn't fit established classifications.
- The case initially mimicked Ota nevus but was eventually identified as acquired bilateral nevus of Ota-like macules (ABNOM), which is often underdiagnosed, especially in Asian populations and children.
- Correct classification is crucial for accurate epidemiology and treatment options since responses to laser therapy and melanoma risks differ between Ota nevus and ABNOM, highlighting the need for further research into their shared genetic mutations.
