Two‐Dimensional Transition Metal Dichalcogenides Properties Enhanced by Nano‐ and Micro‐Scale Shape Control

MetalMat, Volume 3, Issue 1, March 2026.
This review explores current strategies for shaping two‐dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) beyond their planar form. It highlights how strain engineering, nanopatterning, and growth on complex substrates modulate their mechanical, optical, and electronic properties.

Slaving and disabling actuators with voice-coil adaptive mirrors

, 2020
Adaptive mirrors based on voice-coil technology have force actuators with an internal metrology to close a local loop for controlling its shape in position. When actuators are requested to be disabled or slaved, control matrices have to be re-computed. The report describes the algorithms to re-compute the relevant matrixes for controlling of the mirror

Frequency and Output Power Stabilization Using Novel Voice-Coil-Motor Actuator.

The Review of Laser Engineering, 1999
Novel voice-coil-motors (VCM) are applied to an injection-locked Nd: YAG laser and a frequency quadrupled continuous-wave Nd: YAG laser. The injection locked laser is developed for TAMA300 interferometric gravitational wave detection. Using multi-rod laser design and the injection-locking technique, we achieved 10 W output power and single frequency ...
