Diode-pumped wavelength-switchable visible Pr3+:YLF laser and vortex laser around 670 nm
Xiuji Lin, Qichen Feng, Yao Zhu, Shuaihao Ji, Bo Xiao, Huiying Xu, Wensong Li, and Zhiping Cai
Here we developed a novel wavelength-switchable visible continuous-wave (CW) Pr3+:YLF laser around 670 nm. In single-wavelength laser operations, the maximum output powers of 2.60 W, 1.26 W, and 0.21 W, the maximum slope efficiencies of 34.7%, 27.3%, and 12.3% were achieved with good beam qualities (M2 3+:YLF laser opeHere we developed a novel wavelength-switchable visible continuous-wave (CW) Pr3+:YLF laser around 670 nm. In single-wavelength laser operations, the maximum output powers of 2.60 W, 1.26 W, and 0.21 W, the maximum slope efficiencies of 34.7%, 27.3%, and 12.3% were achieved with good beam qualities (M2 < 1.6) at 670.4 nm, 674.2 nm, and 678.9 nm, respectively. Record-high output power (2.6 W) and record-high slope efficiency (34.7%) were achieved for the Pr 3+:YLF laser operation at 670.4 nm. This is also the first demonstration of longer-wavelength peaks beyond 670 nm in the 3P1→3F3 transition of Pr3+:YLF. In multi-wavelength laser operations, the dual-wavelength lasings, including 670.1/674.8 nm, 670.1/679.1 nm, and 675.0/679.4 nm, were obtained by fine adjustment of one/two etalons within the cavity. Furthermore, the triple-wavelength lasings, e.g. 672.2/674.2/678.6 nm and 670.4/674.8/679.4 nm, were successfully demonstrated. Moreover, both the first-order vortex lasers (LG0+1 and LG0-1 modes) at 670.4 nm were obtained by off-axis pumping..

Directional sliding of water: biomimetic snake scale surfaces
Yizhe Zhao, Yilin Su, Xuyan Hou, and Minghui Hong
Bioinspired superhydrophobic surfaces have attracted many industrial and academic interests in recent years. Inspired by unique superhydrophobicity and anisotropic friction properties of snake scale surfaces, this study explores the feasibility to produce a bionic superhydrophobic stainless steel surface via laser precBioinspired superhydrophobic surfaces have attracted many industrial and academic interests in recent years. Inspired by unique superhydrophobicity and anisotropic friction properties of snake scale surfaces, this study explores the feasibility to produce a bionic superhydrophobic stainless steel surface via laser precision engineering, which allows the realization of directional superhydrophobicity and dynamic control of its water transportation. Dynamic mechanism of water sliding on hierarchical snake scale structures is studied, which is the key to reproduce artificially bioinspired multifunctional materials with great potentials to be used for water harvesting, droplet manipulation, pipeline transportation, and vehicle acceleration..

Xiaotong Fan, Tingzhu Wu, Bin Liu, Rong Zhang, Hao-Chung Kuo, and Zhong Chen
With regard to micro-light-emitting diodes (micro-LEDs), their excellent brightness, low energy consumption, and ultra-high resolution are significant advantages. However, the large size of traditional inorganic phosphors and the number of side defects have restricted the practical applications of small sized micro-LEDWith regard to micro-light-emitting diodes (micro-LEDs), their excellent brightness, low energy consumption, and ultra-high resolution are significant advantages. However, the large size of traditional inorganic phosphors and the number of side defects have restricted the practical applications of small sized micro-LEDs. Recently, quantum dot (QD) and non-radiative energy transfer (NRET) have been proposed to solve existing problems. QDs possess nanoscale dimensions and high luminous efficiency, and they are suitable for NRET because they are able to nearly contact the micro-LED chip. The NRET between QDs and micro-LED chip further improves the color conversion efficiency (CCE) and effective quantum yield (EQY) of full-color micro-LED devices. In this review, we discuss the NRET mechanism for QD micro-LED devices, and then nano-pillar LED, nano-hole LED, and nano-ring LED are introduced in detail. These structures are beneficial to the NRET between QD and micro-LED, especially nano-ring LED. Finally, the challenges and future envisions have also been described..
