A low-numerical-aperture (NA) concept enables large-mode-area fiber with better single-mode operation ability, which is beneficial for transverse mode instability and nonlinear effects suppression. In this contribution, we reported a high-power fiber amplifier based on a piece of self-developed large-mode-area low-NA fiber with a core NA of 0.049 and a core/inner cladding diameter of 25/400 µm. The influence of the pump wavelength and fiber length on the power scaling potential of the fiber amplifier is systematically investigated. As a result, an output of 4.80 kW and a beam quality factor of ∼1.33 were finally obtained, which is the highest output power ever reported in a fiber amplifier exploiting the low-NA fiber. The results reveal that low-NA fibers have superiority in power scaling and beam quality maintenance at high power levels.

Systemic blood circulation is one of life activity’s most important physiological functions. Continuous noninvasive hemodynamic monitoring is essential for the management of cardiovascular status. However, it is difficult to achieve systemic hemodynamic monitoring with the daily use of current devices due to the lack of multichannel and time-synchronized operation capability over the whole body. Here, we utilize a soft microfiber Bragg grating group to monitor spatiotemporal hemodynamics by taking advantage of the high sensitivity, electromagnetic immunity, and great temporal synchronization between multiple remote sensor nodes. A continuous systemic hemodynamic measurement technique is developed using all-mechanical physiological signals, such as ballistocardiogram signals and pulse waves, to illustrate the actual mechanical process of blood circulation. Multiple hemodynamic parameters, such as systemic pulse transit time, heart rate, blood pressure, and peripheral resistance, are monitored using skin-like microfiber Bragg grating patches conformally attached at different body locations. Relying on the soft microfiber Bragg grating group, the spatiotemporal hemodynamic monitoring technique opens up new possibilities in clinical medical diagnosis and daily health management.

Overview: Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) affords a rapid, highly sensitive, and nondestructive approach for label-free and fingerprint diagnosis of a wide range of chemicals. This technique has been applied in explosives detection, pre-cancer diagnosis, food safety, and forensic analysis, where a small number of hazardous substances can seriously affect health of human beings. Thus, it is of great significance to prepare high-performance SERS sensors. In general, the signal intensity of SERS is determined by the following three factors: 1) The enhancement effect of surface nanostructure on local electric fields; 2) The number of molecules to be detected in hot spots; 3) Performance of the Raman spectrometer. Therefore, in order to achieve high-performance SERS detection of trace molecules, current research focuses on how to increase the density of hot spots and the number of analyte molecules in the detection area. An ultrafast laser has an ultra-short pulse width and ultra-high peak power, so it can interact with the majority of materials with high processing accuracy and excellent controllability. Meanwhile, it can rapidly construct a variety of large-area micro/nano-structures on material surfaces based on facile digital programming strategies. In addition, combined with multi-beam parallel fast scanning technology, low-cost and high-efficiency machining can be realized without a special requirement for the machining environment. Based on the above advantages, the ultrafast laser has become one of the important means for the fabrication of micro/nano-structures. This is important for the commercial preparation of high-performance SERS sensors. In this paper, we focus on two aspects to introduce the ultrafast laser preparation of high-performance SERS sensors, including how to increase the density of hot spots and the number of analyte molecules in the detection region. Ultrafast lasers can prepare micro/nano-structures with local field enhancement effects by both "bottom-up" and "top-down" processing strategies. The first is based on the "bottom-up" principle, where the reduction, deposition or polymerization of atoms, molecules or other nanoparticles is controlled by ultrafast lasers to achieve additive manufacturing of micro/nano-structures. The other is based on the "top-down" principle, where materials are removed by the ultrafast laser ablation to rapidly achieve hierarchical micro/nanostructures. These structures provide abundant active hot spots for SERS detection. In particular, the superhydrophobic surfaces prepared by the ultrafast laser are one of the most effective methods to achieve the enrichment of analyte molecules. Raman scattering can be excited more effectively by enriched molecules, which is conducive to obtaining higher detection limits and realizing ultra-trace detection. Finally, a prospect for the development of laser-prepared SERS substrates is provided.

研究了激光工艺参数的波动对钛合金表面着色稳定性的影响,以及不同激光工艺参数下钛合金表面色块的微观形貌和元素组分。在钛合金表面制备了橙、金、蓝、绿、紫等5种颜色的色块,通过重复实验获得各种成色稳定的色块对应的扫描速度、功率和线间距,实现了在20 J/cm2左右的较低激光能量密度下,在钛合金上获得欧几里得距离<7的稳定颜色。分析了激光工艺参数在等量或等比变化下的成色稳定性,结果表明,在间隔为1 μm的线间距扰动下,值的波动最大,不利于稳定成色。从样本的微观形貌、结构、元素组分等方面分析了不同色块的微观结构和元素组分差异,结果表明,激光作用后,样本表面分别形成了裂纹状、团块状有明显差异的两种微结构,且氧、碳元素含量区别明显。激光诱导钛合金表面着色是激光作用于材料表面形成的热效应导致的材料升温与表面钛氧化物形成共同作用的结果。

In this work, a confined-doped fiber with the core/inner-cladding diameter of 40/250 μm and a relative doping ratio of 0.75 is fabricated through a modified chemical vapor deposition method combined with the chelate gas deposition technique, and subsequently applied in a tandem-pumped fiber amplifier for high-power operation and transverse mode instability (TMI) mitigation. Notably, the impacts of the seed laser power and mode purity are preliminarily investigated through comparative experiments. It is found that the TMI threshold could be significantly affected by the seed laser mode purity. The possible mechanism behind this phenomenon is proposed and revealed through comprehensive comparative experiments and theoretical analysis. Finally, a maximum output power of 7.49 kW is obtained with the beam quality factor of approximately 1.83, which is the highest output power ever reported in a forward tandem-pumped confined-doped fiber amplifier. This work could provide a good reference and practical solution to improve the TMI threshold and realize high-power high-brightness fiber lasers.
