Experimental Investigations on Laser Ablation of Aluminum in Sub-Picosecond Regimes

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
Due to high power and ultrashort pulses, femtosecond lasers excel at (but are not limited to) processing materials whose thicknesses are less than 500 microns. Numerous experiments and theoretical analyses testify to the fact that there are solid grounds

Counterintuitive Fluorescence Blue Shift in Symmetry Breaking Dicationic Bis(indolium) with Two‐Photon Absorption Properties for NIR Living Cell Imaging

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Highly water‐soluble dicationic bis(indolium) dyes have been prepared, showing excellent two‐photon absorption and light emission. Their fluorescence behavior discloses an unusual increasing blue shift with increasing solvent polarity, which, in parallel, is beneficial for enhanced detection in biological media.

Over 20-W Mid-Infrared Picosecond Optical Parametric Oscillator

open access: yesIEEE Photonics Journal, 2015
We report on a high-average-power mid-infrared picosecond optical parametric oscillator (OPO) synchronously pumped by a Nd:YVO4 mode-locked laser. By use of the MgO-doped periodically poled LiNbO3 as the nonlinear crystal, up to 20.2-W picosecond laser ...

The influence of the excitation pulse length on ultrafast magnetization dynamics in nickel

open access: yesStructural Dynamics, 2015
The laser-induced demagnetization of a ferromagnet is caused by the temperature of the electron gas as well as the lattice temperature. For long excitation pulses, the two reservoirs are in thermal equilibrium.

Azobenzene's Cross‐Scale Optics and Photonics: Molecular Photoswitching, Mesoscopic Material Motions, and Adaptive Devices

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Azobenzene photoswitches translate molecular‐scale E/Z photoisomerization into macroscopic material responses and device‐level photonic functions. This Review highlights how azobenzene research has evolved from molecular photochemistry to photoalignment, mass migration, photomechanics, and heat release, ultimately enabling holography, reconfigurable ...
