Hole coupling is a way to extract laser beams from an optical cavity through a hole on a cavity mirror. Hole coupling is often used in free electron laser oscillators and inherently causes a non-Gaussian beam profile at user stations, which are more than 10 m apart from the coupling hole. The laser beam extracted from a coupling hole has a bright central region (Airy disk) surrounded by a series of concentric rings (Airy pattern). The existence of an Airy pattern results in a non-Gaussian beam profile. It was demonstrated that the beam profile can be changed from a non-Gaussian to a nearly Gaussian distribution by removing the Airy pattern in the experiments and physical optics calculations.

Gas cluster ion beam (GCIB) guns have found several applications in science and industry, such as surface smoothing or depth profiling and surface analysis in conjunction with secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). The former application is severely hindered by the low amount of ejected secondary ions, which can be boosted by more than an order of magnitude by properly selecting the size of cluster projectiles and changing their constituent particles from argon to water. The mechanism of this phenomenon is still unknown.

Goals: To assess the feasibility and safety of endoscopic ultrasound-guided laser ablation (EUS-LA) of retroperitoneal lymph node (RPLN) metastasis.
Background: RPLN metastasis is challenging to treat, partly due to hazardous location. EUS-LA is a new attractive option for lesions in high-risk or percutaneous difficult-to-reach locations.

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of a trial comparing stereotactic beam radiotherapy (SBRT) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for small renal masses (SRM).
Methods: Patients opting for treatment of a SRM at a single center were randomized 1:1 to SBRT or RFA. Crossover if ineligible for treatment after randomization was allowed.
Measurement of axial dose profile for wide detector CT using radiochromic films.

To investigate the application of radiochromic film LD-V1 for measuring the dose profile of wide detector CT and comparing the measurements with the console-displayed CTDI, with the aim of obtaining correction factors. Calibration curves in CTDI phantoms were first obtained with various tube currents at 120 kV. Then, at the selected wide beam collimations (80, 100, 120, 140, 160 mm), the film was placed in the extended phantom holes to obtain the dose profile.

Super-resolution imaging methods that combine interferometric axial (z) analysis with single-molecule localization microscopy (iSMLM) have achieved ultrahigh 3D precision and contributed to the elucidation of important biological ultrastructures. However, their dependence on imaging multiple phase-shifted output channels necessitates complex instrumentation and operation. To solve this problem, we develop an interferometric superresolution microscope capable of optimal direct axial nanoscopy, termed VILM (Vortex Interference Localization Microscopy).
