Article Abstract

We report on the polarized spectroscopy, continuous-wave laser operation, and mode-locked laser performance of an ytterbium-doped disordered tetragonal rare-earth strontium aluminate crystal, Yb:GdSrAlO. In the continuous-wave regime, the diode-pumped Yb:GdSrAlO laser generated a maximum output power of 487 mW at 1064 nm (π-polarization), with a slope efficiency of 61%. By employing a commercial SESAM to initiate and stabilize soliton-like pulse formation, the mode-locked Yb:GdSrAlO laser generated transform-limited pulses as short as 38 fs at 1065.7 nm, with an average output power of 87 mW at a repetition rate of ∼66.5 MHz. The average output power was further scaled to 131 mW for slightly longer pulse duration of 43 fs, corresponding to a peak power of 40.3 kW and a laser efficiency of 15.5%. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of mode-locked laser operation of the Yb:GdSrAlO crystal.

In recent years, light-controlled ion transport systems have attracted widespread attention, however, the use of photoresponsive materials suffers from rapid carrier recombination, thermal field limitations, and narrow spectral response, which significantly restricts their performance enhancement in osmotic energy conversion. This study innovatively couples "blue energy" (osmotic energy) with "green energy" (solar energy), assembling graphene oxide/molybdenum disulfide/sulfonated cellulose nanocrystal (GO/ MoS/CNC) ion-channel membranes. Under solar irradiation, the energy level difference between MoS and GO effectively suppresses the recombination of photogenerated carriers, generating more active electrons and significantly enhancing the carrier density, thereby improving the current flux and ion selectivity.

Introduction: People with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases are advised to do aerobic exercise for symptom relief and to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Continuous exercise at an intensity causing a rate of perceived exertion of 15, on a 6-20-point Borg scale, exemplifies such exercise. Also, the instruction "Now you need to increase your heart rate" is used before aerobic exercise.

Ultra-fast charging stations (UFCS) present a significant challenge due to their high power demand and reliance on grid electricity. This paper proposes an optimization framework that integrates deep learning-based solar forecasting with a Genetic Algorithm (GA) for optimal sizing of photovoltaic (PV) and battery energy storage systems (BESS). A Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) model is employed to forecast PV output, while the GA maximizes the Net Present Value (NPV) by selecting optimal PV and BESS sizes tailored to weekday and weekend demand profiles.

Purpose: This study explored the acute physiological effects of different eccentric tempos, explosive speed (EXP), volitional speed, and 4-second tempo during 5 sets of velocity-based squat training.

Methods: Twelve healthy males performed parallel squats under 3 eccentric conditions using a randomized crossover design. Each session included 5 sets at a relative load, initiated with a concentric mean velocity of 0.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of repeated-sprint training in hypoxia (RSH) versus in normoxia (RSN) in female national-level rugby union players.

Methods: In a randomized, controlled, and crossover study, 8 female rugby union players performed 5 sessions of repeated sprints either in normobaric hypoxia (RSH, simulated altitude: 3000 m; FiO2 = 14.5%) or in normoxia (RSN, terrestrial altitude: 165 m; FiO2 = 20.
