The effects of main laser parameters, such as pulse energy, pulse duration, frequency, and work time on laser propulsion of "air-breathing mode", are investigated experimentally with a high power and high repetition frequency TEA-CO2 pulsed laser. The r
A high energy pulsed terahertz (THz) laser is studied experimentally. The laser cavity simply consists of a quartz glass waveguide, a coated GaAs input window, and a crystal quartz output window. NH
Biophotonics is an exciting and fast-expanding frontier which involves the fusion of advanced photonics and biology. It has not only created many novel methodologies for biomedical research, but also achieved many significant results as an independent fie
A diode-pumped Nd:YAG oscillator laser with an end-pumped zigzag slab architecture and weak pump absorption is developed. An output power of 253 W with a slope efficiency of 50.2% and an optical-optical conversion efficiency of 39.6% is achieved from the
A retroreflector that reflects light along its incident direction has found numerous applications in photonics, but the available metasurface schemes suffer from the issue of narrow bandwidth and/or a single angle of incidence. Here, a retroreflector usin
