Published: December 2024

The laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) is a key measure of an optical component's resistance to laser damage, making its accurate determination crucial. Following the ISO 21254 standards, we studied the measurement strategy and uncertainty fitting method for laser damage, establishing a calculation model for uncertainty. Research indicates that precise LIDT measurement can be achieved by using a small energy level difference and conducting multiple measurements. The LIDT values for the cylindrical grating are 15.34 ± 0.00052 J/cm (95% confidence) and 15.34 ± 0.00078 J/cm (99% confidence), demonstrating low uncertainty and reliable results. This strategy effectively measures the LIDT and uncertainty of various grating surface shapes, offering reliable data for assessing their anti-laser-damage performance.

Silver gallium sulfide (AgGaS) is a ternary ABX-type semiconductor featuring a direct bandgap and high chemical stability. Structurally resembling diamond, AgGaS has gained considerable attention as a highly promising material for nonlinear optical applications such as second harmonic generation and optical parametric oscillation. In attempts to expand the research scope, on the one hand, AgGaS-derived bulk materials with similar diamond-like configurations have been investigated for the enhancement of nonlinear optics performance, especially the improvement of laser-induced damage thresholds and/or nonlinear coefficients; on the other hand, nanoscale AgGaS and its derivatives have been synthesized with sizes as low as the exciton Bohr radius for the realization of potential applications in the fields of optoelectronics and lighting.

Background: Double-strand breaks (DSBs) are primarily repaired through non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) and homologous recombination (HR). Given that DSBs are highly cytotoxic, PARP inhibitors (PARPi), a prominent class of anticancer drugs, are designed to target tumors with HR deficiency (HRD), such as those harboring BRCA mutations. However, many tumor cells acquire resistance to PARPi, often by restoring HR in HRD cells through the inactivation of NHEJ.

Extensive research on ultrashort laser-induced melting of noble metals like Au, Ag and Cu is available. However, studies on laser energy deposition and thermal damage of their alloys, which are currently attracting interest for energy harvesting and storage devices, are limited. This study investigates the melting damage threshold (DT) of three intermetallic alloys of Au and Cu (AuCu, AuCu and AuCu) subjected to single-pulse femtosecond laser irradiation, comparing them with their constituent metals.

Improved birefringence, given its capacity to modulate polarized light, holds a lively role in the optoelectronic industry. Traditionally, alkaline-earth metal halides have possessed low birefringence due to their nearly optical isotropic properties. Herein, the substitution of interlayer anion with linear S─S unit that meticulously engineered by reduced valence state and strong covalent bond is integrated into the optically isotropic BaF, offering the new salt-inclusion chalcogenide BaFS.
