Article Abstract
The light emission produced near the surface of fused silica following laser-induced breakdown on the exit surface was spatially and spectrally resolved. This signal is in part generated by ejected particles while traveling outside the hot ionized region. The thermal emission produced by the particles can be separated from the plasma emission near the surface and its spectral characteristics provide information on the temperature of the particles after ejection from the surface. Assuming the emission is thermal in origin, data suggest an initial average temperature on the order of at least 0.5 eV.

Low-temperature plasma cleaning technology has been widely used to clean various optical components precisely. After the complete removal of organic contaminants from fused silica surfaces through plasma cleaning, continuous plasma irradiation can lead to nano-defects on the fused silica surface, resulting in the degradation of optical performance. Thus, the microscale processes underlying plasma-induced surface damage on fused silica were investigated through molecular dynamics simulations, aiming to analyze the mechanisms of surface damage on optical components during plasma cleaning.

Polylactide (PLA) that is reinforced with diatomaceous earth (DE) is a promising and eco-friendly material with high engineering potential. This article provides a comprehensive overview of various PLA types and processing methods for PLA + DE composites. This study aimed to determine the mechanical strength limits of PLA + DE composites using two PLA grades-amorphous PLE 005-A and semi-crystalline Ingeo 4043D-that are each filled with Perma-Guard DE 5, 10, and 15% by weight, and two manufacturing methods, injection molding (IM) and additive manufacturing (3DP), using fused filament fabrication (FFF).

We present a comprehensive study on the femtosecond laser direct welding of glass and metal, focusing on optimizing processing parameters and understanding the influence of material properties and beam shaping on welding quality. Using microscopy, we identified optimal pulse energy, focal position, and line-spacing for achieving high-quality welds. We further investigated the effects of laser beam shaping and material property differences in various glass-to-metal pairs, including borosilicate, fused silica, and Zerodur glasses welded with mirror-polished metals such as Cu, Mo, Al, Ti, and AISI316 steel.

Counting the number density of ions and water molecules at aqueous:solid interfaces remains a fundamental challenge, especially under conditions of high ionic strength. Here, we employ an all-optical noncontact approach based on phase- and amplitude-resolved second harmonic generation spectroscopy to estimate the cation and anion coverages and the number density of net-aligned water molecules at fused silica surfaces in contact with aqueous solutions held at pH 5.8 and a wide range of ionic strengths of NaCl, NaClO, NaSO, and NaHPO up to 8 M.
