The Xenon flash lamp is a new type of light source for analytical instrument. The present paper analyzed the discharge process of xenon flash lamp, presented the discharge test system, and conducted experimental measurement of the voltage, current and optical pulse signal in the process of discharge. The results show that in the preliminary discharge, the free electron concentration was at a low level, so the energy was at a low level, then following the gas discharge, numerous free electrons formed in the lamp, resultin in the increase in the concentration of free electrons, therefore discharge current rised rapidly and voltage reduced. The lamp released photons to generate light pulse in the moment of ionic recombination, The pulse xenon lamp light energy output and spectral characteristic is related to electron energy in recombination and combination level of xenon, if the input energy and the energy consumption of the xenon lamp is inconsistent, it will lead to repeated capacitor charging and discharging and produce oscillation waveform. This paper is very useful for understanding the process of xenon lamp discharge, optimizing the driver circuit and the production of xenon flash lamp.

The functionalization of thin, flexible glass with piezoelectric oxides is a pathway toward transparent electromechanical devices. The crystallization of lead zirconate titanate thin films on thick, rigid glass is previously demonstrated using flash lamp annealing to selectively anneal the films, without damaging the substrates. In this work, a 2-step process suitable for Schott AF 32 eco glass and Corning Willow glass is developed, both 100 μm thick, the latter of which is compatible with roll-to-roll processes.

Foodborne infectious diseases are a major public health and economic issue worldwide, warranting an effective food safety management system that can rapidly detect foodborne pathogens. We developed a modification-free lateral flow assay for the specific hybridization (M-FLASH) system using modification-free oligonucleotides that specifically recognize the single-stranded loop region of loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) products for sensitive and on-site detection of foodborne pathogens. To increase its suitability for field diagnosis, four unique strategies were introduced: (i) thermal lysis for DNA extraction, (ii) direct LAMP without any additional DNA purification steps for DNA amplification, (iii) LFA system where the capture probe is immobilized by our salt-mediated immobilization of nucleic acids (SAIoNs) method, and (iv) reporter probe-gold nanoparticle (AuNP) conjugates prepared by the microwave-assisted heating-dry method.

Incorporating lead (Pb) into the germanium (Ge) lattice emerges as a promising approach for bandgap engineering, enabling luminescence at longer wavelengths and paving the way for enhanced applications in short-wave infrared (SWIR) light sources and photodetectors. In this work, we report on optical properties of GePb alloys fabricated by a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible process that includes Pb ion implantation followed by solid-phase epitaxial regrowth via flash-lamp annealing. Optical characterization, including photoluminescence spectroscopy and Fourier-transform infrared reflectance spectroscopy, reveals that GePb alloys exhibit a reduced bandgap compared to pure Ge, resulting in longer-wavelength emission, while also providing broadband antireflective properties below 1800 nm wavelengths due to the surface subwavelength nanostructure.

We report the successful treatment of fibrofolliculomas in a patient with BHDs using a combination of fractionated ablative CO2 laser and a flash lamp pulsed dye laser (FPDL). This combined method improves the CO2 healing process's functional and cosmetic results; the first wavelength (ablative) has a greater capacity for excision and tissue regeneration, while the second (non-ablative) provides more control over the tissue healing process.

Purpose: To analyse the clinical benefits of using the NGENUITY 3D Visualization System in vitreoretinal surgery with low levels of endoillumination, focusing on functional and structural retinal protection in patients with idiopathic epiretinal membranes (ERM).
Design: Prospective, randomized, comparative study.
Methods: Forty pseudophakic patients (29♀, 11♂; age 60-80 years) with ERM underwent 27G pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and were randomly divided into two groups: Group I (20 eyes, 3D heads-up NGENUITY system, endoillumination 0.
