We demonstrate loss-free generation of 3 mJ, 1 kHz, few-cycle (5 fs at 750 nm central wavelength) double pulses with a pulse peak separation from 10 to 100 fs, using a helium-filled hollow core fiber (HCF) and chirped mirror compressor. Crucial to our scheme are simulation-based modifications to the spectral phase and amplitude of the oscillator seed pulse to eliminate the deleterious effects of self-focusing and nonlinear phase pickup in the chirped pulse amplifier. The shortest pulse separations are enabled by tunable nonlinear pulse splitting in the HCF compressor.

Laser surface alloying of Fe, Si, and C on aluminium is demonstrated using a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser as the source of energy. The fundamental wavelength of the laser beam was 1064 nm with an output energy of 100 mJ and a pulse duration of 10 ns. The exposure was conducted in repetitive mode with a frequency rate of 1 Hz.

Based on the nonlinear broadband saturation absorption, ultrafast carrier recovery rate, and ultrashort recovery time of new low dimensional materials, ultrafast photonics has rapidly developed as an interdisciplinary field. We have demonstrated multiple solitons state output in an erbium-doped fiber laser based on saturable absorption characteristic of AgInPS. By preparing AgInPS with a modulation depth of 10.

First-in-Human Helical-Fixation Leadless Pacemaker in the Left Atrium for D-Transposition With Atrial Switch Procedure.

JACC Case Rep

January 2025

Division of Cardiology, Electrophysiology Section, Adult Congenital Arrhythmia Clinic, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia, USA.

Background: The atrial switch procedure is accompanied by a very high rate of sinus node dysfunction. Baffle stenosis is a common problem with transvenous pacemaker leads in this scenario.

Case Summary: We present a first-in-human case of a leadless pacer (LP) in the left atrium in a patient with prior atrial switch for transposition and sinus node dysfunction complicated by multiple abandoned leads, superior baffle occlusion, and failed extraction.

Introduction: We examined the associations of carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), arterial stiffness index (ASI), and pulse pressure (PP) with cerebrovascular disease, cognitive function and decline, and incident cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and dementia in the UK Biobank cohort.

Methods: The study consisted of 42,711 participants (mean age 64.2 years) with brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), vascular assessments, and cognitive testing.

Biosyncretic robots, which are new nature-based robots in addition to bionic robots, that utilize biological materials to realize their core function, have been supposed to further promote the progress in robotics. Actuation as the main operation mechanism relates to the robotic overall performance. Therefore, biosyncretic robots actuated by living biological actuators have attracted increasing attention.
