Article Abstract
We demonstrate direct generation of sub-40 fs pulses from a diode-pumped mode-locked laser using an ytterbium-yttrium codoped multi-component alkaline-earth fluoride crystal and a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror. The Yb,Y:(Ca,Sr)F laser delivers soliton pulses as short as 35 fs at 1056.7 nm, with an average output power of 182 mW at a repetition rate of ∼65.7 MHz. By increasing the transmittance of the output coupler, the average output power scales to 322 mW at a somewhat longer pulse duration (49 fs) at 1052.5 nm, corresponding to a peak power of 87.9 kW and an optical efficiency of 32.4%. To the best of our knowledge, these are the shortest pulses from a Yb-doped alkaline-earth fluoride crystal.

The development of nonlinear optical (NLO) crystal materials with short ultraviolet cutoff edges is of great significance to laser applications and industrial development. Based on acentric AE-M-F (SrZrF (), CaZrF (), and CaHfF (), with AE = alkaline earth metal and M = Zr, Hf), a novel hydrated zirconium-based fluoride, KNaZrF(HO) (), was obtained through a cosubstitution strategy involving mixed alkali metal cations. KNaZrF(HO) crystallizes in the 2 space group and presents a unique three-dimensional {[ZrF(HO)]} anion framework composed of hydrogen-bonded {[ZrF(HO)]} chains.

This reconnaissance study was carried out in urgency as residents complained of groundwater contamination in a tribal stretch infected with chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology in central India where at least 100 people have already died and more than 300 hospitalized. Multi-indexing techniques were used to evaluate groundwater quality for drinking, irrigation, and industrial purposes. The comprehensive water quality index (CWQI) classifies ∼52 % of the 27 collected samples suitable for drinking, and ∼37 % partially suitable pending certain treatment.

Rare-earth fluorides have been shown to be promising scintillators for medical radiography applications. However, they are mostly explored in the alkali metal-based category, and it remains challenging to obtain alkaline-earth-based rare-earth fluoride (ALnF) nanocomposites with high scintillation performance. In this work, rod-shaped BaLuF (BLF) nanocrystals (NCs) are synthesized as a scintillation matrix by a facile liquid-liquid-solid hydrothermal method.

The capability of zero-order waveplates to manipulate the polarization of fundamental-frequency light has garnered significant attention in light of the rapid advancements in laser technology. In particular, zero-order waveplate materials in the deep-ultraviolet range (DUV; < 200 nm) are in urgent and short supply. In this study, three new aluminum fluorides, AlF (6/), BaAlF (4/), and LiKAlF (2/), have been successfully designed and synthesized through a strategy that combines the perfluorinated [AlF] group with alkali and alkaline-earth metals.
