Article Abstract
We demonstrate the generation of high-order, high-power vortex modes from a Hermite-Gaussian (HG) Yb:YAG thin-disk oscillator, with tunable mode orders ranging continuously from one to ten. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest order of HG and vortex modes obtained using a thin-disk module. The output power for most of these modes reaches up to 10 W, setting a new benchmark for intracavity high-order HG mode generation. The mode tunability is demonstrated experimentally and supported by simulations, realized by adjusting the angle and position of the output coupler to manipulate the intracavity resonance conditions. A cylindrical-lens mode converter is employed to transform the generated HG modes into Laguerre-Gaussian vortex modes. The properties of the resulting vortex beams are measured using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer and phase retrieval algorithms. Our results demonstrate significant progress in generating high-order structured light with an extended tunable range and high-power operation within thin-disk laser systems, providing new opportunities for applications in light-matter interaction, remote sensing, and optical manufacturing.

The effect of shape and size of embolic agents on embolization phenomena has been discussed clinically for transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE). We numerically discussed the unique embolization behavior of new deformable toroidal microparticles in blood vessels by computational fluid dynamics simulations. We employed an Eulerian-Eulerian (full Eulerian) fluid-structure interaction (FSI) method to analyze the flow and deformation behaviors of a deformable torus in a cylindrical pipe.

This study innovatively developed a novel ternary deep eutectic solvent coupled with in-situ-ultrasound synergistic extraction (TDES-ISUSE)method for efficient extraction of total flavonoids (TF) fromEpimedium wushanense. Among 20 prepared DESs, the ternary system composed of choline bitartrate, urea, and glycerol (Chb:Ure:Gly) exhibited the highest extraction efficiency. Response surface methodology-artificial neural network-genetic algorithm (RSM-ANN-GA) optimization identified the optimal extraction parameters: water content of 32 %, vortex time of 10 min, liquid/solid ratio of 34:1 mL/g, ultrasound time of 30 min, and ultrasound power of 270 W.

Instabilities, where small fluctuations seed the formation of large-scale structures, govern dynamics in a variety of fluid systems. The Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI), present from tabletop to astronomical scales, is an iconic example characterized by mushroom-shaped incursions appearing when immiscible fluids are forced together. Despite its ubiquity, RTI experiments are challenging; here, we report the observation of the RTI in an immiscible binary superfluid consisting of a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate.

By imparting the twist to the fiber, one can make this system's topology similar to a Möbius stripe's topology. We show that WGMs of such a Möbius ring resonator (MRR) carry intrinsic orbital angular momentum (OAM).
View Article and Find Full Text PDFOrbital angular momentum (OAM) beams have brought the nonlinear light-matter interaction to a novel, to our knowledge, regime. In this work, we investigate the generation of high-order harmonics in atomic gases when the extreme nonlinear optical process is driven by the coaxial superposition of linearly polarized Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) modes. Specifically, we discuss the cases when the waist sizes of the two superposed LG modes are different (double-ring vortex beam) or the same (optical ring lattice).
