Tunable and efficient diode-pumped Yb3+: GYSO laser

Effective diode-pumped cw tunable laser action of a new alloyed crystal Yb:Gd(2(1-)x) Y2xSiO5 (Yb:GYSO, x = 0.5) is demonstrated for the first time. The alloyed crystal retains excellent laser properties of Gd2SiO5 (GSO), as well as the favorable growth properties and the desirable physical of Y2SiO5 (YSO). With a 5-at.% Yb: GYSO sample, we achieved 2.44 W output power at 1081.5 nm and a slope efficiency of 57%. And its laser wavelength could be tuned from 1030nm to 1089 nm.

La participación de los microRNAs en la regulación de la plasticidad en la corteza visual en un modelo de ambliopía experimental

La aplicaci�n de campos geomagn�ticos con la polaridad cambiante promueve la plasticidad de la corteza visual de animales privados visualmente mediante la cr�a en oscuridad, o bien a trav�s de la sutura palpebral de un ojo.Esto es debido a que la estimulaci�n magn�tica produce la down-regulaci�n de la expresi�n de los microRNAs let-7b*, miR-330, miR-338* y miR-376c en la corteza visual de animales sometidos a la cr�a en oscuridad, as� como de animales sujetos a sutura palpebral de un ojo. Como consecuencia de la down-regulaci�n de la expresi�n de los microRNAs citados anteriormente, se ven incrementados los niveles de expresi�n de sus correspondientes mol�culas diana, Conexina 26 para el caso de let-7b*, Tenascina R en el caso de miR-330, Contactina 4 para el caso de miR-338* y Matriz metalopeptidasa 9 y �-sinucle�na, ambas mol�culas diana de miR-376c. El aumento de expresi�n de estas mol�culas diana a nivel de RNA mensajero, as� como a nivel de prote�na en la corteza visual promueve la capacidad pl�stica de la corteza visual, ya que estas mol�culas diana se encuentran implicadas en procesos de crecimiento/elongaci�n de las neuritas y en la regulaci�n de la morfolog�a de las espinas dendr�ticas.

Structure and properties of amorphous thin film for optical data storage

In this paper the magnetic and magneto-optical properties of amorphous rare earth-transition metal (RE-TM) alloys as well as the magnetic coupling in the multi-layer thin films for high density optical data storage are presented. Using magnetic effect in scanning tunneling microscopy the clusters structure of amorphous RE-TM thin films has been observed and the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in amorphous RE-TM thin films has been interpreted. Experimental results of quick phase transformation under short pulse laser irradiation of amorphous semiconductor and metallic alloy thin films for phase change optical recording are reported. A step-by-step phase transformation process through metastable states has been observed. The waveform of crystallization propagation in micro-size spot during laser recording in amorphous semiconductor thin films is characterized and quick recording and erasing mechanism for optical data storage with high performance are discussed. The nonlinear optical effects in amorphous alloy thin films have been studied. By photo-thermal effect or third order optical nonlinearity, the optical self-focusing is observed in amorphous mask thin films. The application of amorphous thin films with super-resolution near field structure for high-density optical data storage is performed. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

大模场面积光纤激光器79．4W单横模输出

abstract {A large-mode-area (LMA) multimode fiber before and after coiling was studied contrastively in the experiment. Single-transverse-mode output was achieved when the fiber laser was coiled around a mandrel of 65 mm radius. After coiling, beam quality factor of the laser dropped from 1.24 to 1.06 and slope efficiency dropped from 64.7% to 54.3%. When the launched pump power was 149 W, the corresponding output power was 94.7 W and 79.4 W, respectively. However, the brightness of the coiled fiber laser was 1.15 times that of the uncoiled. Coiled modal losses of different modes were also calculated for the fiber employed in the experiment. The measured results agree well with the calculated ones.}

A new Yb-doped oxyorthosilicate laser crystal: Yb : Gd2SiO5

A new Yb-doped oxyorthosilicate laser crystal, Yb:Gd2SiO5 (Yb:GSO), has been grown by the Czochralski (Cz) method. The crystal structure was determined by means of X-ray diffraction analysis. Room temperature absorption and fluorescence spectra of Yb3+ ions in GSO crystal were measured. Then. spectroscopic parameters of Yb:GSO were calculated and compared with those of another Yb-doped oxyorthosilicate crystal Yb:YSO. Results indicated that Yb:GSO crystal seemed to be a very promising laser gain media in generating ultra-pulses and tunable solid state laser applications. As expected, the output power of 2.72 W at 1089 nm was achieved in Yb:GSO crystal with absorbed power of only 4.22 W at 976 nm, corresponding to the slope efficiency of 71.2% through the preliminary laser experiment.

新型掺杂LiAlO2晶体衬底研究

本文系统研究了LiAlO2晶体及掺钛0．2％原子分数LiAlO2晶体的水解性能，用原子力显微镜对（100）晶片在不同水解时间下的表面形貌进行了观察，对比发现这两种晶体的（100）面均具有极性和易水解性。同时观察到掺钛LiAlO2晶体的抗水解性比纯LiAlO2晶体更好，因为掺钛LiAlO2晶体有更多的Li空位，水解的活性得到降低。
