Room-temperature cw and pulsed operation of a diode-end-pumped Tm:YAP laser

We report the continuous-wave and acousto-optical Q-switched operation of a diode-end-pumped Tm:YAP laser. Continuous-wave output power of 3.5 W at 1.99 mu m was obtained under the absorbed pump power of 14 W. Under Q-switched laser operation, the average output power increased from 1.57 W to 2.0 W, with an absorbed pump power of 12.6 W, as the repetition rate increased from 1 kHz to 10 kHz. The maximum Q-switched pulse energy was 1.57 mJ with a repetition rate of 1 kHz. The minimum pulse width was measured to be about 80 ns, corresponding to a peak power of 19.6 kW.

The Ho:YAP crystal is grown by the Czochralski technique. The room-temperature polarized absorption spectra of Ho:YAP crystal was measured on a c-cut sample with 1 at% holmium. According to the obtained Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters Omega(2) = 1.42 x 10(-20) cm(2), Omega(4) = 2.92 x 10(-20) cm(2), and Omega(6) = 1.71 x 10(-20) cm(2), this paper calculated the fluorescence lifetime to be 6 ms for I-5(7) -> I-5(8) transition, and the integrated emission cross section to be 2.24 x 10(-18) cm(2).

A leitura das salas

Focalizando as Salas de Leitura Polo do Município do Rio de Janeiro, este trabalho empreende uma leitura que visa a analisar as concepções que têm sustentado a configuração destes espaços e as práticas neles desenvolvidas, dialogando com as concepções de leitura em circulação na literatura específica, enfatizando a contribuição da perspectiva discursiva para o encaminhamento das questões relativas à ruptura com o modelo de ensino tradicional, baseado na administração do sentido supostamente único. Para tanto, examina os dispositivos legais que regem as Salas de Leitura e as condições concretas de realização das práticas, buscando articular os níveis macro e micro de análise através do ciclo de políticas, formulado por Stephen Ball e colaboradores, privilegiando as relações entre os contextos de influência, da produção textual e da prática. Assume a abordagem qualitativa e, nela, o estudo de caso, ciente da impossibilidade de generalizações, com o objetivo de aprofundar as observações sistemáticas cotidianas e a interlocução constante com os professores responsáveis pela implementação da proposta, em duas escolas municipais. A descrição minuciosa dos dois contextos da prática remete a considerações acerca das reconfigurações das Salas de Leitura, seus determinantes e as ressignificações produzidas pelos sujeitos envolvidos. Na medida em que o período do trabalho de campo coincidiu com mudança significativa no contexto de influência e de produção textual, a pretensão é sistematizar elementos para a análise dos modos pelos quais esta chega ao contexto da prática e das possibilidades de reconfiguração do espaço das Salas de Leitura.
