It is used in multiple sectors including medical, military, industrial, and science. Since it combines great advantages in many of its basic properties, Nd:YAG is the ubiquitous choice for near-infrared solid-state lasers and their frequency-doubler, tripler, and higher order multipliers. Based on client requirements, we are able to customize the sizes of these crystals to meet the customer’s needs. Basic Properties of Nd:YAG Chemical Formula: Nd:Y3Al5O12 Crystal structure: Cubic Lattice constant: 12.01Å Melting point: 1970°C Density: 4.5g/cm3 Reflective Index: 1.82 Thermal Expansion Coefficient: 7.8x10-6 /K <111> 14, 20°C Thermal Conductivity (W/m/K): 10.5, 100°C Mohs hardness: 8.5 Stimulated Emission Cross Section: 2.8x10-19 cm-2 Relaxation Time of Terminal Lasing Level: 30 ns Radiative Lifetime: 550 us Spontaneous Fluorescence: 230 us Linewidth: 0.6 nm Loss Coefficient: 0.003 cm-1 @ 1064nm Neodymium-Doped Yttrium Orthovanadate (Nd:YVO4) Among the current commercial laser crystals, Nd:YVO4 is the most efficient for diode pumping, especially for lasers with low to middle power density. A key reason is that Nd:YVO4's absorption and emission features surpass those of Nd:YAG. In diode-pumped lasers, Nd:YVO4 crystals can be paired with high nonliner optical (NLO) coefficient crystals (LBO,BBO,or KTP) to frequency-shift the output from the near infrared to green, blue, or even UV. This unique ability is ideal because it means that these lasers can be used for a wide range of applications of lasers, including machining, material processing, spectroscopy, wafer inspection, light displays, medical diagnostics, laser printing, data storage, etc. Nd:YVO4 based diode-pumped solid-state lasers are rapidly overtaking the markets traditionally dominated by water-cooled ion lasers and lamp-pumped lasers, especially when compact design and single-longitudinal-mode outputs are required. Nd:YVO4’s advantages over Nd:YAG 1. Almost five times larger absorption efficiency over a wide pump bandwidth centered around 808 nm (Thus, the dependency on pump wavelength is much lower, and there is a strong tendency towards the single-mode output.) 2. About three times higher stimulated emission cross-section at the lasing wavelength of 1064nm 3. Lower lasing threshold and higher slope efficiency 4. As a uniaxial crystal with a large birefringence, the emission is linearly polarized.

The principle is based on the Faraday effect, which describes the effect of magnetic fields on linearly polarized light in magneto-optical material. To identify suitable materials for the optical system the main requirements and specification are determined. A theoretical description of the optical system shows a maximal applicable magnetic field frequency due to the finite velocity of light inside the material.

    Clinical Policy: Yttrium Aluminium Garnet (YAG) Laser Capsulotomy Reference Number: CP.VP.65 Coding Implications Last Review Date: 12/2020 Revision Log See Important Reminder at the end of this policy for important regulatory and legal information. Description This policy describes the medical necessity requirements for yttrium aluminium garnet (YAG) laser capsulotomy. Policy/Criteria I. It is the policy of health plans affiliated with Centene Corporation® (Centene) that YAG laser capsulotomy is medically necessary for the following indications: A. Posterior capsular opacification following cataract surgery resulting in best corrected visual acuity of 20/30 or worse associated with symptoms of blurred vision, visual distortion or glare affecting activities of daily living; B. Contraction of the posterior capsule with resulting displacement of the intraocular lens; C. Posterior capsular opacification resulting in best corrected visual acuity of 20/25 or worse, reducing the ability to evaluate and treat retinal detachment. Background YAG capsulotomy is the incision of an opaque posterior lens capsule in an aphakic or pseudophakic eye. This incision allows the capsule to retract and no longer serve as an obstruction to the passage of light through the media to the retina. The incision is performed with YAG laser. The eye examination must confirm the diagnosis of posterior capsular opacification and excludes other ocular causes of functional impairment by one of the following methods: The eye examination should demonstrate decreased light transmission (visual acuity worse than 20/30 or 20/25 if the procedure is performed to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of retinal detachment). Manifest refraction must be recorded with decrease in best-corrected visual acuity.

The different industrial uses of lithium are discussed in this review along with a compilation of the locations of the main geological sources of lithium. An emphasis is placed on lithium’s use in lithium ion batteries and their use in the electric vehicle industry. The electric vehicle market is driving new demand for lithium resources. The expected scale-up in this sector will put pressure on current lithium supplies. The European Union has a burgeoning demand for lithium and is the second largest consumer of lithium resources. Currently, only 1–2% of worldwide lithium is produced in the European Union (Portugal). There are several lithium mineralisations scattered across Europe, the majority of which are currently undergoing mining feasibility studies. The increasing cost of lithium is driving a new global mining boom and should see many of Europe’s mineralisation’s becoming economic. The information given in this paper is a source of contextual information that can be used to support the European Union’s drive towards a low carbon economy and to develop the field of research.

Furthermore, no compensation scheme for thermally induced depolarization in a magnetic field was used. An isolation ratio of 35.4 dB (depolarization ratio γ of 2.9 × 10−4) was experimentally observed at a maximum laser power of 1470 W. This result for room-temperature FIs is the best reported, and provides a simple, practical solution for achieving optical isolation in high-power laser systems. ©2016 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (160.3820) Magneto-optical materials; (140.6810) Thermal effects.

To evaluate the crystal preferred orientations (CPO) of garnet formed in axial shortening, pure shear and simple shear, we performed numerical simulations of CPO development during plastic flow using the visco-plastic self-consistent model. As input for the models we use the slip systems determined by transmission electron microscopy using experimentally deformed specimens. Although in garnet 66 slip systems are available, slip on the k111l{110} system provides over 86% of the total strain in the simulations. Characteristic CPO distributions are produced for the three deformation paths, with the CPO being strongest for axial shortening and weakest for simple shear. Compared with low-symmetry minerals, the pole figure densities of garnet, which has cubic symmetry, are weak. k100l axes tend to align with the shortening direction in all three deformation modes. The simulations are compared with CPO of naturally deformed garnet from nine eclogite samples from the Alps, Norway, and Mali, which contain 20–40% garnet.

  • Ultraviolet Photoacoustic Remote Sensing Microscopy
    Ultraviolet Photoacoustic Remote Sensing Microscopy by Nathaniel Haven A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Alberta © Nathaniel Haven, 2019 Abstract Cancer is currently one of the leading causes of death globally. In dealing with certain cancers, the recommended treatment is often surgery. In order to determine if the entirety of the cancerous mass has been removed, tumor resection margins are assessed after surgical resection, as it is difficult to differentiate cancerous from health tissue without micro-scale observation. Presently, the current gold-standard for tissue biopsy and tumor resection margin analysis is formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded hematoxylin & eosin (H&E) histology. Though, this process is both time consuming and labor intensive as well as being a significant burden on the healthcare economy. Unfortunately, there are currently no intraoperative techniques capable of reproducing reliable post-operative H&E histology output, this results in many patients having to undergo secondary surgeries, leading to unnecessary emotional and physical trauma for patients, as well as higher risks of worsened prognosis. Here we report the development of an ultraviolet excitation photoacoustic remote sensing microscopy system capable of producing images of cell nuclei within cell cultures and tissue samples. This was achieved in two iterations. The first iteration utilized a parabolic focusing element along with mechanical stage scanning to obtain images of sectioned HT1080 CAM tumors, as well as HeLa cell cultures, demonstrating the ability to observe individual cell nuclei with good comparison ii to H&E histology.
