An optical spectrometer is a basic spectral instrument that probes microscopic physical and chemical properties of macroscopic objects but generally suffers from difficulty in broadband time-resolved measurement. In this work, we report the creation of ultrabroadband white-light laser with a 3-dB bandwidth covering 385 to 1,080 nm, pulse energy of 1.07 mJ, and pulse duration of several hundred femtoseconds by passing 3-mJ pulse energy, 50-fs pulse duration Ti:Sapphire pulse laser through a cascaded fused silica plate and chirped periodically poled lithium niobate crystal. We utilize this unprecedented superflat, ultrabroadband, and intense femtosecond laser light source to build a single-shot (i.e., single-pulse) subpicosecond pulse laser ultraviolet-visible-near-infrared spectrometer and successfully measure various atomic and molecular absorption spectra. The single-shot ultrafast spectrometer may open up a frontier to monitor simultaneously the ultrafast dynamics of multiple physical and chemical processes in various microscopic systems.

The present study examined factors associated with trunk skeletal muscle thickness (MT, an index for the amount of skeletal muscle) and echo intensity (EI, an index for the content of non-contractile tissue, such as intramuscular adipose tissue) in young Japanese men and women in consideration of habitual dietary intake. Healthy men (n = 26) and women (n = 24) aged 20 to 26 were enrolled. Trunk MT and EI were evaluated using ultrasound imaging at the height of the 3rd lumbar vertebra.

The number of atrial catheter ablation procedures has significantly increased in recent years, becoming a first-line treatment modality for various supraventricular tachycardias due to their safety and efficacy. Complications, ranging from mild to life-threatening, can arise during different stages of the procedure, including vascular access complications (eg, hematoma or vascular fistula formation, retroperitoneal bleeding, etc.), thromboembolic complications (eg, stroke, transient ischemic attack, air embolism, etc.

A method to determine electron temperature within a plasma by the spectral analysis of atomic tungsten emission has been explored. The technique was applied to a post-discharge region immediately following a high voltage nanosecond pulsed discharge in air with tungsten electrodes. Atomic tungsten lines are readily observed in the weak emission spectrum within the post-discharge region for many microseconds.

Recent advances in Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology have enabled a more affordable high frame rate photoacoustic imaging (PA) alternative to traditional laser-based PA systems that are costly and have slow pulse repetition rate. However, a major disadvantage with LEDs is the low energy outputs that do not produce high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) PA images. There have been recent advancements in integrating deep learning methodologies aimed to address the challenge of improving SNR in LED-PA images, yet comprehensive evaluations across varied datasets and architectures are lacking.

Physical Simulation Experiment on the Rock Breaking Efficiency of Pulse Type Controllable Shock Wave.

ACS Omega

December 2024

Shenmu Ningtiaota Mining Company, Shaanxi Coal and Chemical Industry Group, Shenmu, Shaanxi 719300, China.

Given that conducting controllable shock wave tests in actual rock formations underground in coal mines affects coal mine production with the parameters required for equipment design and incurs significant costs, a series of ground tests were conducted separately. First, the impact of energy storage on rock breaking efficiency was analyzed. Then, physical simulation experiments were conducted on the differential efficiency of controllable shock waves on high-strength cement, sandstone, granite, solid granite, and limestone.
