Article Abstract

The diode-pumped alkali laser (DPAL) is a new type of laser source which has been widely studied in the recent years. The temperature distribution of a sealed vapor cell, which is the crucial component in a DPAL system, produces an important effect on the output performance of a DPAL. In this paper, the strict solution of the heat conduction equation for a cesium vapor cell is obtained by using a finite difference procedure. The temperature distribution of a dummy open cell is first analyzed, and then the temperature distributions of two independent windows, regarded as the boundary conditions of solving a sealed cell, are evaluated in detail. By combining the results of the two steps together, we finally acquire the temperature distribution of a real sealed cesium vapor cell. The results reveal that the temperature gradients on both radial and longitudinal directions change with the pump power, cell radius, and absorption coefficient when the sealed cesium vapor cell is heated or pumped with the laser diodes. The conclusions are helpful for accurately evaluating the output characteristics of a DPAL.

Ultrathin amorphous materials are promising counterparts to 2D crystalline materials, yet their properties and functionalities remain poorly understood. Amorphous boron nitride (aBN) has attracted attention for its ultralow dielectric constant and superior manufacturability compared with hexagonal boron nitride. Here, we demonstrate wafer-scale growth of ultrathin aBN films with exceptional thickness and composition uniformity using capacitively coupled plasma-chemical vapor deposition (CCP-CVD) at 400 °C.

While reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) hold promise for cancer treatment, their efficacy remains constrained by tumor microenvironment (TME) barriers: glutathione (GSH) overexpression, insufficient HO supply, and hypoxia. To address these limitations, we engineered a Trojan horse-inspired MnO-shelled CaO nanoreactor (CaO/MnO-Ce6-PEG) by employing a sequential TME reprogramming strategy, triggering a cascading ROS storm for enhanced CDT and PDT. The outer MnO layer first depletes GSH through redox conversion, exposing the CaO core hydrolysis, and subsequently providing HO for CDT and O for ameliorating hypoxia to boost Ce6-mediated PDT.

Background: Due to the complex structure and variable microenvironment in the progression of bladder cancer, the efficacy of traditional treatment methods such as surgery and chemotherapy is limited. Tumor residual, recurrence and metastasis are still difficult to treat. The integration of diagnosis and treatment based on nanoparticles can offer the potential for precise tumor localization and real-time therapeutic monitoring.

Decellularized tissues are used as biomaterials for transplantation. Many decellularized tissues in clinical applications are prepared using surfactants; however, we have developed a new decellularization method that uses subcritical dimethyl ether (DME) instead of surfactants. Subcritical DME perfusion is usually used for lipid extraction; therefore, by perfusing tissues with subcritical DME, phospholipid cell membranes may be destroyed.
