An LP-mode output all-fiber laser was presented, utilizing long-period fiber gratings (LPFGs) and polarization-maintaining optical fiber (PMF). The LPFG was designed and fabricated, achieving a 90.56% efficiency in LP to LP mode conversion. Furthermore, the transmission stability of LP-mode in the PMF was also explored, with the spatial mode overlap ratio exceeding 0.95. Ultimately, the high-power polarization-maintaining (PM) fiber laser, capable of the LP mode output, was constructed, with the output power of 600 W and the beam quality M of 2.84. During the process of welding a thick Al-plate, the LP fiber laser exhibits a notable 1.88 times greater depth of fusion compared to the commercial single-mode fiber laser, when operating at the laser welding head speed of 100 mm/s. For applications demanding non-circular symmetric high-order modes, this research holds substantial potential for widespread adoption within the field of industrial processing.

This research examined the distinction between organic and conventional mango fruits, chips, and juice using portable near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. A comprehensive analysis was conducted on a sample of 100 mangoes (comprising 50 organic and 50 conventional) utilising a portable NIR spectrometer that spans a wavelength range from 900 to 1700 nm. The mangoes were assessed in their entirety and their juice and chip forms.

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is widely used across various industries owing to its versatility and favorable properties, including application in beverage bottles, food containers, textile fibers, engineering resins, films, and sheets. However, polymer materials are susceptible to degradation from factors such as light, oxygen, and heat. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the structural changes that occur during degradation and the extent of these changes.

An erbium-doped fiber ring laser based on a single-mode fiber-no-core fiber-single-mode fiber (SMF-NCF-SMF) structure was constructed and experimentally demonstrated for label-free DNA hybridization measurement. The SMF-NCF-SMF structure acts as a sensing element and a filter to select the laser wavelength. The proposed fiber ring laser sensor exhibits a high optical signal-to-noise ratio (SNR, >50 dB) and narrow full width at half maximum (FWHM, <0.

Introduction: Little is known about the day-to-day variability of different skin microcirculation parameters, and how this variability is influenced by age and sex. The aim was to examine the day-to-day variability of microcirculatory parameters in relation to age and sex.

Methods: The cutaneous microcirculation was measured using a fiber optic probe integrating laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) to measure oxygen saturation, red blood cell (RBC) tissue fraction, speed-resolved and conventional perfusion.
