Article Abstract

A high-power and high-efficiency diode-end-pumped Tm:YLF laser at 1.83 μm is demonstrated for the first time, to our best knowledge. To make the laser operate at 1.83 μm, a simple way of controlling the transmittance of the output coupler is used, and the criteria of the transmittance of the output coupler at the emission peaks of Tm:YLF are theoretically analyzed, which are verified by experimental results. Based on the theoretical analysis, laser oscillation at only 1.83 μm is realized. Maximum output power at 1833 nm is 8.5 W with corresponding slope efficiency of 53.4% regarding absorbed pump power. In addition, tunability of this laser from 1827 nm to 1837 nm is obtained. Laser beam quality at 1833 nm is measured to be 1.4 at maximum output power. The achieved laser performance represents considerable improvement compared to any other bulk laser emitting around 1.83 μm.

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are rapidly advancing due to their high power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) and low fabrication costs. However, their commercialization is hindered by lead toxicity and the use of expensive materials, such as Spiro-OMeTAD and gold electrodes. This study presents a comprehensive SCAPS-1D simulation-based analysis of 14 perovskite absorber materials, spanning both Pb-based and lead-free compounds, under a unified device architecture using low-cost, nontoxic components: ZnO as the electron transport material (ETM), PEDOT:PSS + WO as a dual hole transport material, and nickel as the back contact.

High-power giant magnetostrictive underwater transducers are integral to underwater active sonar detection systems due to their high energy density, rapid dynamic response, and significant output force. However, these transducers exhibit complex nonlinear dynamic hysteresis behavior, which is influenced by the coupling of electric, magnetic, mechanical, and acoustic fields. This complexity presents considerable challenges in accurately characterizing their output properties.

Thermodynamic constraints impose a trade-off between power and efficiency in heat engines, preventing the simultaneous achievement of high power and high efficiency. For classical microscopic engines, explicit inequalities have been discovered, demonstrating the inherent inevitability of this power-efficiency trade-off. However, extensions of these results to quantum engines have so far been limited to cases of slow operation.

The development of near-neutral zinc-air batteries (ZABs) has been hindered by the sluggish oxygen reaction kinetics, severely limiting energy efficiency and power output. While recent advances in catalyst design have improved the intrinsic activity of electrocatalysts, their overall impact on battery performance remains limited. Here, an electrochemical modification strategy is presented that simultaneously enhances the surface properties of both the gas diffusion layer (GDL) and the bifunctional catalyst.

Mid-infrared (mid-IR) fiber lasers have faced significant challenges in achieving all-fiberized structure with high efficiency and high output power due to the limitations of conventional cavity designs. In this paper, we introduce what we believe to be a novel 2.8 µm all-fiber laser configuration with a low optical feedback linear cavity, effectively eliminating the need for traditional high-reflector components.
