Article Abstract
We report on an all-fiber system delivering more than 100 μJ pulses with a top-hat beam output in the few nanoseconds regime at 10 kHz. The linearly polarized flattened beam is obtained thanks to a 3-mm-long single-mode microstructured fiber spliced to the amplifier's output.

Recent research has explored the use of non-Gaussian beams, such as ring-shaped pump beams, in end-pumped solid-state lasers to reduce thermal lensing effects. Theoretical studies indicate that the thermal lens is not constant but varies with the radial coordinate , and can be modeled with two or three components depending on the pumping beam profile, top-hat or ring-shaped. This paper introduces a new, to our knowledge, single-component expression for the thermal lens, derived from the mean value and standard deviation, which is applicable to various pump beam shapes.

Infrared matrix-assisted laser desorption electrospray ionization (IR-MALDESI) uses an infrared laser to desorb neutral biomolecules with postionization via ESI at atmospheric pressure. The Gaussian profile of the laser with conventional optics results in the heating of adjacent nonablated tissue due to the energy profile being circular. A diffractive optical element (DOE) was incorporated into the optical train to correct for this disadvantage.

MINFLUX has achieved extraordinary resolution in superresolution imaging and single fluorophore tracking. It is based on localizing single fluorophores by rapid probing with a patterned beam that features a local intensity minimum. Current implementations, however, are complex and expensive and are limited in speed and robustness.

Significance: The database for multipulse retinal damage thresholds for the laser safety standard (IEC 60825-1:2014) is confined, especially for elongated irradiation profiles. To ensure eye safety, retinal damage thresholds ( values) need to be determined.
Aim: This study aims to examine nanosecond multipulse scenarios.

Oral mucositis (OM) is a common adverse effect of radiation to the head and neck. Recent research has shown that extra oral photobiomodulation (EO-PBM) reduces the severity of OM. However, appropriate EO-PBM therapy parameters for OM severity reduction have not been documented.
