The first, to the best of our knowledge, mid-infrared Q-switched Ce-doped glass laser is demonstrated. As saturable absorbers, Fe:CdSe and Fe:CdTe are used for the first time. When Q-switched by Fe:CdSe, the laser operates in a multi-pulse regime with an individual pulse width of 110 ns, centered at λ = 5.20 µm. With Fe:CdTe as saturable absorber, 1-3 giant pulses of 30 ns pulse width are generated at λ = 5.13 µm.

In microfluidic chips, glass free-form microchannels have obvious advantages in thermochemical stability and biocompatibility compared to polymer-based channels, but they face challenges in processing morphology and quality. Hence, picosecond laser etching with galvanometer scanning is proposed to machine spiral microfluidic channels on a glass substrate. The objective is to disperse and sort microparticles from a glass microchip that is difficult to cut.

Direct energy deposition is an additive technology that can quickly manufacture irregularly shaped quartz-glass devices. Based on this technology and coaxial laser/wire feeding, open-loop tests were conducted under different process parameters. A closed-loop temperature control system was designed and built for the molten pool temperature in quartz-glass additive manufacturing.

Aim: To evaluate the effect of femtosecond laser small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) on the binocular visual function in myopic patients with glasses-free three-dimensional (3D) technique.
Methods: Totally 50 myopic patients (39 females and 11 males) with SMILE were enrolled in this prospective study. The glasses-free 3D technique was used to evaluate the binocular visual function in these subjects including static stereopsis, dynamic stereopsis, foveal suppression, and binocular balance point of signal to noise ratio (s/n ratio).
