We present a frequency domain, AOM-based pulse shaper that utilizes Brewster prisms rather than the current standard of gratings. In doing so, we demonstrate a three-fold increase in efficiency and the ability to compensate for temporal dispersion created by the acousto-optic modulator that filters the pulse spectrum. The shaper is tested between the wavelengths of 520-660 and 840-1170 nm, creating sub-50 fs pulses for each, and used to collect a 2D white-light spectrum of a thin film of semiconducting carbon nanotubes.

Label-free imaging through two-photon autofluorescence of NAD(P)H allows for nondestructive, high-resolution visualization of cellular activities in living systems. However, its application to thick tissues has been restricted by its limited penetration depth within 300 μm, largely due to light scattering. Here, we demonstrate that the imaging depth for NAD(P)H can be extended to more than 700 μm in living engineered human multicellular microtissues by adopting multimode fiber-based, low repetition rate, high peak power, three-photon excitation of NAD(P)H at 1100 nm.

This paper examines the challenges of machining structural alloy steels for carburizing, with a particular focus on gear manufacturing. TiN-Ti coatings were applied to cutting tool blades to improve machining quality and tool life. The research, supported by mathematical modeling, demonstrated that these coatings significantly reduce adhesive wear and improve blade life.

Magnetic pulse spot welding based on a field shaper can effectively achieve spot welding of dissimilar metal plates by using the multi-turn flat coil and magnetic gathering through the field shaper. Through existing experimental research, it has been found that when using this method for welding, there will be a serious bulging problem in the center of the welding area, which will affect the flatness and aesthetics of the welding area, thereby affecting its application range. To solve this problem, this work proposes two different welding methods for welding dissimilar AA1060 aluminum and SS304 steel plates with a thickness of 1 mm: one based on the center opening of the flying plate and the other based on the pre-deformation of the flying plate.

It consists of a Yb-doped nonlinear polarization evolution (NPE) mode-locked fiber oscillator, a chirped fiber Bragg grating (CFBG) stretcher, a wave-shaper for manipulating the spectrum of the signal, cascaded fiber amplifiers, and two compression units. The output pulse duration of 44 fs for efficient high harmonic generation (HHG) was achieved by a multi-pass multi-plate Herriott-type non-linear compression unit.

This setup enables the polarization state of the incident pulse to vary over time. Specifically, for linearly chirped incident pulses, the polarization ellipse twists uniformly over time, while its ellipticity changes monotonically.
