Article Abstract
A diode-pumped alkali laser (DPAL) is thought to provide the significant promise for construction of high-powered lasers in the future. To examine the kinetic processes of the gas-state media (cesium vapor in this study), a mathematical model is developed while the processes including normal 3-enegry-level transition, energy pooling, and ionization are taken into account in this report. The procedures of heat transfer and laser kinetics are combined together in creating the model. We systemically investigate the influences of the temperature, cell length, and cell radius on the output features of a diode-pumped cesium vapor laser. By optimizing these key factors, the optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of a DPAL can be obviously improved. Additionally, the decrease of the output power due to energy pooling and ionization is also shrunk from 1.63% to 0.37% with the pump power of 200 W after optimization. It suggests that the effects of energy pooling and ionization should be decreased apparently under the optimal conditions. Basically, the conclusions we obtained in this study can be extended to other kinds of end-pumped laser configurations.

Cesium ions (Cs) are notable radioactive contaminants hazardous to humans and the environment. Among various remediation methods, adsorption is a practical way to remove Cs from water, and Prussian blue (PB) is well-known as an efficient Cs adsorbent. Although various PB derivatives have been proposed to treat Cs-contaminated water, soil remediation is still challenging due to the limited mobility of pollutants in soil.

To investigate the anti-relaxation performance of FOTS-modified OTS coatings on the inner walls of cesium (Cs) atomic cell, this study employs molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to explore the self-assembly process of FOTS-modified OTS molecular chains on the SiO (001) surface and evaluates the effects of FOTS chain amounts, water molecule content, and temperature on the diffusion behavior of Cs atoms. Results show that the optimized interface model of the FOTS-modified OTS coating and SiO substrate achieves thermodynamic and energetic equilibrium under the conditions of 25 °C and 2000 ps. The film formation process of FOTS-modified OTS chains on SiO surfaces involves three distinct stages: initial anchoring, conformational rearrangement, and structural relaxation and equilibrium configuration.

We present an optical technique for suppressing relaxation in alkali-metal spins using a single off-resonant laser beam. The method harnesses a physical mechanism that synchronizes Larmor precession in the two hyperfine manifolds, protecting magnetic coherence from relaxation caused by spin-exchange and other hyperfine-changing collisions. We experimentally demonstrate up to a ninefold reduction in decoherence of warm cesium vapor, achieving simultaneous protection from both spin-exchange relaxation and partial depolarization from coated cell walls.

Graphene oxide (GO) is expected to be one of the most promising adsorbents for metal ions, including radioactive nuclides in aqueous solutions. Large-area and single-layer graphene oxide (SLGO) grown on α-AlO(0001) was used as a model structure of GO since the aggregation and re-stacking of the GO sheets prevent the adequate analysis of the adsorption state. The SLGO film was obtained by oxidizing monolayer graphene grown by metal-free chemical vapor deposition on the α-AlO(0001) surface, and the adsorption state was determined by surface analytical techniques.

We present a laser frequency stabilization technique using digital proportional-integral-derivative on a microcontroller (MCU). The system is designed to stabilize laser frequency fluctuations for high-precision cold atom-based experiments. The STM32-based MCU platform, operating at a fraction of the cost of traditional field programmable gate array-based systems, provides comparable or superior performance, demonstrating its potential as a robust and low-cost alternative for laser frequency stabilization.
