A compact and alignment-free device based on transient grating self-referenced spectral interferometry is proposed to realize the temporal profile measurement of femtosecond laser pulses. The entire optical setup is composed of two lenses and two glass plates on a straight line with tubes, thereby avoiding complicated optical alignment and improving the stability and practicality of the device. Two 51.0 fs and 16.9 fs laser pulses at 800 nm and a 60.6 fs pulse at 1800 nm are all successfully measured by this device, which verifies the reliability of the device.

We present a thermal-driven, orthogonally polarized, eye-safe dual-wavelength microchip laser based on an cut Er,Yb:YAl(BO) (Er,Yb:YAB) crystal, operating without the need for additional intracavity elements. Two thermal management schemes were investigated, revealing that additional end-face cooling effectively reduces internal temperature gradients within the crystal. As a result, the laser achieved a total output power of 1.

Studies of bacterial adaptation and evolution are hampered by the difficulty of measuring traits such as virulence, drug resistance, and transmissibility in large populations. In contrast, it is now feasible to obtain high-quality complete assemblies of many bacterial genomes thanks to scalable high-accuracy long-read sequencing technologies. To exploit this opportunity, we introduce a phenotype- and alignment-free method for discovering coselected and epistatically interacting genomic variation from genome assemblies covering both core and accessory parts of genomes.

Based on the OHE with a thin cross wire, we further experimentally develop a compact and robust alignment-free method to measure the OAM states of light. These findings indicate that not only does the OHE of light offer insights into vortex diffraction with broken rotational symmetry, it may also provide a reliable and efficient way to simplify the vortex measurement for waves of different natures.

The amount of sequencing data for SARS-CoV-2 is several orders of magnitude larger than any virus. This will continue to grow geometrically for SARS-CoV-2, and other viruses, as many countries heavily finance genomic surveillance efforts. Hence, we need methods for processing large amounts of sequence data to allow for effective yet timely decision-making.
