We report a single-frequency Q-switched Er:YAG all-solid-state laser with a pulse repetition rate of up to 10 kHz. The single-frequency feature is ensured by injecting the seed laser into a Q-switched ring cavity, and the pulse repetition rate is increased by combing the Pound-Drever-Hall method and optical feedback. Peak power of 4.12 kW with an average pulse energy of 1.35 mJ single-frequency 1645 nm laser pulses is achieved at a pulse repetition rate of 10 kHz, which matches an average power of 13.5 W.

Anion photoelectron velocity-map imaging using a tunable laser at a 100 kHz repetition rate.

J Chem Phys

January 2025

Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Kyushu University, 744 Motooka, Nishi-ku, Fukuoka 819-0395, Japan.

We present velocity-map imaging (VMI) of photoelectrons detached from anions using an optical parametric amplifier operating at a repetition rate as high as 100 kHz. The light source generates femtosecond (fs) laser pulses tunable from near-infrared to ultraviolet (310-2600 nm), which interact synchronously with mass-selected anion bunches. We demonstrate this technique by measuring two-dimensional projections of photoelectrons ejected from silver trimer anions, Ag3-, across a photon energy range from 2.

Purpose: Currently available grading and classification systems for hemifacial spasm either rely on subjective assessments or are excessively intricate. Here, we make use of facial recognition and facial tracking technologies towards accurately grouping patients according to severity and characteristics of the spasms.

Methods: A retrospective review of our prospectively maintained preoperative videos database for hemifacial spasm was done.

Serial macromolecular crystallography has become a powerful method to reveal room temperature structures of biological macromolecules and perform time-resolved studies. ID29, a flagship beamline of the ESRF 4th generation synchrotron, is the first synchrotron beamline in the world capable of delivering high brilliance microsecond X-ray pulses at high repetition rate for the structure determination of biological macromolecules at room temperature. The cardinal combination of microsecond exposure times, innovative beam characteristics and adaptable sample environment provides high quality complete data, even from an exceptionally small amount of crystalline material, enabling what we collectively term serial microsecond crystallography (SµX).

Phonological and speech motor abilities in children with childhood apraxia of speech.

Clin Linguist Phon

January 2025

Centre for Language and Cognition, Groningen University, Groningen, The Netherlands.

Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) is a motor speech disorder in which the precision and consistency of speech sounds are impaired due to deficits in motor planning and programming. The literature on CAS suggests that the clinical features of CAS cannot be limited to one level of speech processing and that a more comprehensive understanding of how all levels involved in speech production are part of a complex system is needed. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between phonological and speech motor abilities in children with CAS and to determine the extent to which speech motor performance accounts for phonological processing in children with CAS.
