Article Abstract

A nonlinear mirror composed of a lithium triborate crystal and a dichroic output coupler is used to passively mode lock an Nd:YVO4 laser that is pumped by a diode laser array. A mode-locked output power of 3.2 W, a repetition rate of 178 MHz, a pulse width of 8.4 ps, and a beam quality parameter (M2) of 1.27 are obtained at 1064 nm for a pump power of 10.0 W. The numerical simulation for the steady-state pulse width agrees well with the bandwidth-limited value. A double-pass average gain g(ave) is defined by considering the constancy of the output energy. In the simulation g(ave) is kept as a free parameter, and its value required for the bandwidth-limited pulse is found to be 0.047, whereas its calculated value, based on our definition, is 0.057.

Clinical trials of the photovoltaic subretinal prosthesis PRIMA demonstrated feasibility of prosthetic central vision with resolution matching its 100 μm pixel width. To improve prosthetic acuity further, pixel size should be decreased. However, there are multiple challenges, one of which is related to accommodating a compact shunt resistor within each pixel that discharges the electrodes between stimulation pulses and helps increase the contrast of the electric field pattern.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and underlying mechanism of advanced optimal pulse technology intense pulsed light (AOPT) in low-energy triple-pulse long-width mode (AOPT-LTL) for melasma treatment.

Methods: An in vivo guinea pig model of melasma was established through progesterone injection and ultraviolet B radiation. Three sessions of AOPT-LTL treatment were performed weekly.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF) frequently coexist in patients, with the development of AF often preceding HF decompensation. We sought to evaluate whether daily remote monitoring of ICD parameters could predict AF occurrence using machine learning techniques in a real-world cohort.

Methods: Data from patients with primary prevention ICDs transmitted daily to the Northwell centralized remote monitoring center between 2012 and 2021 were extracted.

Capillary leak syndrome is a serious postoperative complication in neonates and infants after open-heart surgery for CHD. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between sternal opening width and the occurrence of capillary leak syndrome in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with delayed sternal closure.We retrospectively analysed the clinical data of neonates and infants (aged < 12 months) who underwent open-heart surgery with delayed sternal closure at our institution between January 2016 and December 2021.

Rydberg atoms are widely employed in precision spectroscopy and quantum information science. To minimize atomic decoherence caused by the dc Stark effect, the electric field noise at the Rydberg atom location should be kept below ∼10 mV/cm. Here, we present a simple yet effective electronic circuit, referred to as a clamp switch, that allows one to realize such conditions.
